They like their new life very much. My husband and I had the same opinion about emigration. We were happy about the establishment of an independent Jewish state. Like all other Jews we followed the events and struggle, particularly, during the Six-Day-War [21], the war of Judgment Day [22]. We wished happiness to all those moving to Israel or America, but we ourselves did not want to go to Israel.

Besides, our home and family graves are here.
