Today, she is sitting in the home she renovated herself in central Israel - an extraordinary achievement made all the more remarkable by the fact that she did much of the work with effectively only one fully functioning arm.

Memories of the blood-stained walls of the modest homes of Israeli families dragged from their safe rooms and beds and ruthlessly mutilated, raped, murdered and captured still keep me awake at night.
