My sister Rahela Baruhovic (third from the left) is pictured in this photo from 1960 with other participants of a Jewish summer camp in Rovin, Croatia.
Moshe Pijada (wearing a hat) is standing next to her.
Rahela considered it a great honor for her to have been photographed standing next to Mr. Pijada.
When my sister finished her degree in physical chemistry in 1963, she went to Israel on a month long holiday.
There she stayed with my maternal uncle Moshe (Moni) Izrael, a civil engineer who made aliyah right after the war.
He and his wife did not have children of their own and were pleased to have Seli stay with them.
During this trip she met Shimon Malina, a Jew from Argentina.
They married in Kiryat Moskin in 1963 and today she has three sons and four grandchildren and is still as active as ever.
