We considered those who emigrated to Israel brave people because they dared to start a new life again. We didn’t consider ourselves brave people. Another reason for us not being brave was that, after all, my husband was a university professor and I had a fair job, we were both respected and we were simply afraid to start a new life. Not to mention that both our sons have professions that couldn’t bring them prosperity in Israel. I never thought about emigrating. I went to Israel for the first time in 1968 and visited Aunt Iren and her son. I was curious to see Israel and how people lived there. I loved everything I saw. I had friends all over the country. It didn’t take me long to tour the country, since it’s not too large. I even traveled through the desert as I visited Eilat. Both my aunt and her son died. I only have friends there now. We are even more concerned with the situation there than the Israelis. We are in permanent contact with our friends.
