She was swollen from hunger even before the war. The kids stayed with their dad, and later a stepmother appeared in their family, which is their 11 children!

He created a strong and close-knit family, raised and raised 6 children, but unfortunately, he left us very early, at the age of 69 ... All his life, grandfather passed with a splinter in his left leg, which was not removed to him ... My grandfather is a Hero ! I am proud of him and will carry the memory of him to my next generations !!!
