Yocheved had parents involved in the community, Azriel, her father was an honorable man who took part in amateur singing and in City Council. Her mother, Deborah, was active in women gruop called "Ezra" who collected money for the needy, in addition, her mother arranged for groups of children to study in small groups.

Family Kuczinsky (Polish surname of Yocheved) was in high social and econamic class and was known in the jewish and polish community aswell.
Yocheved expirienced The Second World War, and Holocaust in Polish border.
On this blog, we will share stories of Yocheved during the Holocaust and before it, we will deal with survival - with a daily pain that had not let go for 65 years.
Before the War
As mentioned, Yocheved was born in Skarnvic, Poland, that had 35,000 residents and 5,000 of them were Jews.
Yocheved's special character, characterized assertively sharp thinking is already evident at age 3;
"My mother and a group of women decided to establish a Hebrew kindergarten, brought a teacher names Bat Sheva, in the winter, and opened the kindergarten. I asked Bat Sheva to join the kindergarten, but she said that the kindergarten is full and there is no "place" for me, so I went alone to my house, my house was about three kilometers from the kindergarten ,in the frost, took a wicker chair and carried it all the way back to the kindergarten and made my own "place". "
We learned that Yocheved's life before the war was a stable life, social, and beautiful, but everything changed in one day ..
"My name is not Yocheved, my name is Sarah"
Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, and thus began the Second World War. With the occupation of Poland by Nazi Germany and immediately began a persecution of the Jewish community, cuts to her, in her book that describes Yocheved "Its me again" -
"The rumors about the sad fate of Jews in Germany were a common topic of conversation. In Poland violence against Jews became commonplace, young unemployed nationalist and political leaders seeking support, lashed out against the Jews and tried to hurt not only physically, but also their income, Jewish businesses were broken into and looted" ..
Why Sarah?
"A few days after the breaching of the border of Poland by the Nazis, they came to our town .in the First day our front door was kicked wild and full of German soldiers triumphant entered.The soldiers raided the house, shouted loudly, broke and destroyed, leaving the mark of mud on the expensive carpets. One of them came into my room, "dirty Jew, what's your name?" He shouted in German. "Yauwigiah," I whispered. "Wrong!" He screamed. The veins in his neck twisted, he seemed about to burst. "What's your name?" "Excuse me, sir, I do not understand you", I replied in German. "My name is Jadwiga. Uniform made him look menacing and hatred in his eyes was paralyzing. Repeatedly screamed: "What's your name?", I muttered all the names I knew. "Martha? Lisa? Jana?" Anger grew. I decided to keep quiet. "What's your name?", Tried again. I felt his breath close before me. He put his hands on my neck and started choking me.Out of air, and breath caused me pain. In the mad deeds I heard him whisper to himself: "You are so beautiful - why do I have to kill you?" I was convinced that these are the last few minutes of my life. After a few seconds of terror, his commander called him, and he left me alone. Later after, I learnet I had to answer that my name was Sarah, the Jewish men were called Moshe and jewish women were called - Sarah. "
"Trauma of the siege remained part of my life, and to this day I can not fasten the seat belt in the car .."
Entrance to the ghetto
Entrance to the ghetto
A week after the Nazis entered the city Skarnvic, the Nazis imprisoned Jews in one neighborhood residents - Fortunately for Yocheved - Their home was in the ghetto so they should not have to leave their apartment.
Ghetto life was difficult, foreigners lived in their home, food was running out, her father became one of the Judenrat - are appointed by the Nazis, Jews are responsible for conduct of the ghetto, so he came homeonce in a while with his body all bruised.
Of these, along with the new decrees, hunger, poverty, parents continue to help others survive and take care of the rest of the community other than themselves. In addition, the Poles whose parents helped them before the war, also proved to be a source of hope - for example the story of Kovlcic

But there was light at the end of the tunnel Yocheved, and the light is a young boy named Muniyak.
"My Muniyak"
Muniyak was Yocheved's youth love, and part and parcel of dealing with the hardships and suffering in the war -
"The forced labor, the new decrees, evil, orphans, and despair, were routine, and, in all this a miracle has happened to me: I fell in love."
Muniyak and Yocheved lived not far apart, he was older by 4 years, Yocheved says that she was fascinated by the beauty, wisdom, and the fact that a guy so "perfect" was interested in her. Muniyak came a wonderful family - his parents had a store sweets, and every day he brought chclates to her- he thought she loved chocolate, when in fact she did not really love chocolate, but she ate them just to see the happy smile on his face.
Yocheved loved Muniyak Love Without Borders - "May, lilac blossoms time,Muniyak brought me a flower ring, excited and trembling voice declared eternal love. He swore he would never break up, always love, he'd be so good to me, that he would lie as a carpet on the forund for me. So he kept writing letters to me even when we were in separate ghettos, resistance and helping to prepare for the Warsaw ghetto uprising. From the basement on the street "filled". "

"In May 2008 during a visit to Paris, a little boy approached me, gave me a lilac flower gone, I missed a beat. I felt like I morals Muniyak regards."
Prison life in the Warsaw Ghetto
Skarnvic city ghetto, was killed in 1941, and the Jews had received orders to move to the Warsaw ghetto.
"We got an inferno. Warsaw is not intended for humans. For the first time we saw heaps of bones moving like shadows. Almost dead - dead filled the streets. There was no quiet corner, or green, not a flower, or a blue sky - but a hell of concrete and death. Every day was worse than the last. overcrowding was unbearable. Every time we thought that could have been worse, but the anxiety we found Shlcourar own ideas. "
As described in this section can be seen that Yocheved and her family's life became increasingly difficult, the ghetto they arrived five people - her father, mother, grandmother and brother -" my grandfather died of a heart attack in the ghetto and was buried by his family - what is considered lucky multiple: to die natural causes and not from the horrors and hunger, and who will cry the death and bury him with dignity and not end his life wrapped in newspaper around the ghetto".
Alongside the impossible living conditions, Yocheved tried to keep the life she had with Muniyak and continued to meet because he also went with her, and activly worked in the bunker and made a secret weapon to prepare an uprising in the ghetto.

"Escape from the Warsaw Ghetto"
Every day was awful than the last, and there was a limit to evil displayed by the Germans against the Jews. One day suddenly appeared Kovl Chick dressed as a Jew and a bag of gold in his hand. Gave it to Yocheved's mother, claiming that it would help her, and left. Yocheved's mother sent her mother - Grandma Kyle as she looked Polish, to a Polish friend named Gancner - and he protected her, she escaped from the ghetto , away from the hardships, to the city Skarnbec. Yocheved's mother realized that they have to escape from the ghetto, so she went to a German soldier standing at the gates of the ghetto and offered him the bag of gold Skovlc Magic gave her. Miraculously, the soldier agreed to help the family in exchange for gold. Therefore, Yocheved's mother asked to bring carts to pick a few more people (of course again out of concern for others but ) and take them away from the ghetto.
And so it was only in contrast to programs - the carts were caught and reached another nightmare ...
"We were led to the airport Roachznv poor inner courtyard, surrounded by high concrete walls. There were a hundred men who were caught trying to escape too. We stood there for several hours, without food or water, then opened a heavy door of the basement, we got orders to go down into it.
The cellar was under the offices of the airport, and there was room for about a hundred people. 300 people crammed into it, and the door barely closed. They squeezed us out in, like salted fish in a barrel. The place was damp, stinking, choking completely dark, with no sign of when the day or night. We could not sit, could not walk around or do the slightest movement.Even our needs, we could not do but instead we stood.
Luckily we were facing the wall. Basement sewer pipe bomb were dripping on the walls. In instinct we licked the liquid, which was our only food. At first I heard screams to high heaven, a few days later, replaced the screams murmur prayers, and every day it calms down. Lump in the middle, the people who were unable to turn around without moving, prayed and cried, and turned to God. Every day crying dwindled, until a mass of people remained silent.
After 12 days Suddenly the door. "Rouse, out", there was a bark. Middle bloc was dead.Survived only those who were facing the wall. We crawled out. The people who died standing collapsed to the floor "...
After this shocking experience when they are swollen and they must feces, urine, and thousands of worms - the Jews were led from the basement to the terrible forest "Waller", near Warsaw, which was an execution site - where each member of her family got a shovel and began to dig his own grave - Yocheved started digging a hole, in it she will be buried ... "Yocheved's father was orders to come closer to the polish officerr. Dad barely shuffling, dirty and smelly, light years away far from the respectable Mskarnvic man, approached him.is Your name Kuczinsky? "Whispered the officer. Dad nodded in fear."you Saved my My family, and now I want to help you. "

Dad nodded in fear."you Saved my My family, and now I want to help you. "
I do not believe in miracles, but I have no other explanation for what happened there. Dad had a very good relationship with the police chief Vskarnvic, his fondness for vodka caused him to sink deeper in debt and threatened that he seize the house. He Dad turned for help, and Dad bought the house, telling him: "Do not worry. Live here and pay me as much as you can. "
Dad thought then It could be good to have connections with the police chief, but he never imagined how it could be useful. The young policeman who were standing in front of us remembered how he used to get to our house with minor amounts he had managed to save in order to acquire theSingle parents. These sums were not sufficient even if he would continue to be paid for many years. largely a male policeman father's voice singing wonderful. later moved to Warsaw and joined the police, and so arbitrarily horrible fate we found ourselves together again. "
The young officer's family moved Yocheved and a few others (of course the family wanted to save again) covered wagons called ghetto and smuggled them very Mazowiecka, 26 km from the city Skarnvic. Ghetto was "comfortable" than in other ghettos, the last and liquidated in late 1942.
"The move"
Reach the city later Skarnvic homeland, where he began an arduous journey of escape and hid from house to house. Her family came to Goren (stores where wood grain structure - a barn), the barn was owned Gnzner - friend of the family (there was Grandma Kyle), where the old ice, Achshmcour their food he eats pigs. Where to stay continue to search, Yocheved comes to the cemetery and into the tent of the Rebbe (the only thing not destroyed by the Germans) and in the morning Achsiocat tent frozen, frightened, trembling, came from a family trail passes Rouge Einsky, considered the father of the family is very inferior person for his company ( dog catcher), understand that she was Jewish when she knocks on the door, but did not divorce her, but want to help her, bringing her food. Yocheved's mind came an idea. She asked Mr. Rouge Einsky bring her peasant's costume Lubicz Ethan (Lubicz this drag a small town in rural as' Lubicz im), Rouge Einsky got her two Fry's costumes - one party and one day - day. Yocheved dyed her hair and called herself Stefania - pretended, she changed her voice and her accent, and " played it "for all her villages. even when I met her children in her class recognized her, imitating itself Yocheved like not knowing who you talk to - which is Stefania. But the journey continued, her family continues to move from place to place, from person to person, anyone who was willing to let them stay with him even for a day or time. Then, through Professor Skaripc Chuck, they come Agnelli, a Polish woman embittered, hide them with her for 20 months, where her boss the Yocheved any housework, even cooked pigs. Aneila received lots and lots of gold forAhssantam her. Over time, fell in love with a cop named Atdaush, who collaborated with the Germans. Then, it became clear that Aniela told him that there are Jews who live with her and intends to kill them. policeman himself killed Jews and proud of it. When the policeman threatened danger to Yocheved fate of her family, told him fabricated a story about where the gold had threatened him the Polish underground looking for him because he had betrayed the homeland and joined the Germans - will also be able to see the courage of assertiveness Yocheved - and so it saved her family and fled Agnelli cruelty.
It should be noted that even with Aniela Wicked, was the edge of light - and a dog named irrigated, which belongs to the Agnelli, this special dog saved the life of the family often, like other would warn them before the enemies, and that they must hide when it's safe. Yocheved says that the following video:

Home
The war ended in 1945, and the Red Army arrived, the family finally returned home, which was empty, since the Poles stole all their possessions. Than 5,000 Jews who lived in the city Skarnvic, survived only 15 Jews. The family had to sleep on straw, empty house, and invited her and other Jews who came from different areas, to come live with them.
"In time, the refugees had left our home and found their own apartment, and we stayed in our house. Dinner table back to us, we picked up chairs and slowly began to recover. Us in. We were broken and broken, but we tried to be as similar as possible to the family we were before the war. The nature of the family can not be changed . love, caress and the heat was all the time, even the most difficult conditions. We were a loving family and remained a loving family. "
One day a Russian officer who was Jewish family Kuczinsky, with a letter to the family their friend. His name was Mordechai, a fourth-year medical student University of Warsaw. Before that he studied three years in Tashkent.
"Mordechai came to our house, he met and stayed. Often comes from Warsaw to visit me. Slowly we developed a novel and began to feel the closeness felt by a pair begins to fall in love ..."
After half a year of introduction, Mordechai became Yocheved's husband (married in 1946).
Although the war ended, the persecution of the Jews did not stop, despite threats and dangers lurked Vskarnvic, so they decided to Yocheved and her family, along with Mordechai, to the homeland - the Land of Israel.
"Land of Israel dream Rex shape, waiting for my husband to finish his medical studies in 1947 graduated.
When we left our company's well watered Aniele dog found us, she cried with tears, as if she understood not see each other again. We train car and looked at his beloved dog standing in the snow and watch the train move away. Became the first black spot and after a few moments just a black dot in the snow. We ran the car last seen a few more seconds, until it disappeared ...
When we arrived we learned that Israel Agnelli, the irrigated remained there about two weeks at the train station, waiting for us, and actually died of starvation, as if she committed suicide. "
So again I - Yocheved opens a new life
After staying for a certain period of time with a family in Paris, France - continued their journey, and went to Israel on the ship, anchored at the port of Haifa on March 13, 1949.
July 1949 after only a daughter of Yocheved and Mordechai - Kenya.
At first they lived in Afula, after seven years in Holon, Givatayim and came when there was Mordechai working HMO gynecologist.
Azriel father died in 1980, and mother Deborah remained independent.
Because humor has become a part of Yocheved survival again, she began to appear in sections of humor, she appears before the survivors to this day.
"In my world view, there is evil in the world we can not fix the fact that this conversion, but the humor makes life worth more, and give relief to the most difficult places. Humor many doors opened for me a lot of objections Miss ..."
It should be noted that during her life Yocheved went on my way to her family, caring for the needy in all who happened to her, for example, hosted a new immigrant families at home, ever since hosted 25 families, and she and her husband helped them to be absorbed in the country.
Yocheved's brother, messed up guys, lived for years in South Africa, and in 1993 at age 68, killed during a robbery. To this day, when talking about the messed Yocheved guys, there are tears in her throat.
"The pain was unbearable, I cried all the time and I could not function. One thought would not let me rest. How to tell mom that her son was murdered?"
And her mother went into a deep depression, and about 3 years, died of starvation, and pain of loss.
But Yocheved, miraculous powers able to move on, go on living.
Mordechai Yocheved had two grandchildren - my chest, BA in economics and currently a lecturer in economics and capital markets, In addition, he also wrote a newspaper's economic commentator, "Israel today." Karen graduated with honors studying medicine, and begins the internship in the country.
Yocheved and Mordechai has named Nina even light - was born in 2008, and "what it is, lighting up the lives of us all" that used to tell Yocheved.
Eventually came Yocheved and Mordechai (commonly known as "Baby") Kfar Saba, where they lived happily ever after to this day.
Thus, a very special and entertaining way, you can see next video of Mordechai ("Honey") and Yocheved Ziv.
At the end of her book ("it again I"), describes the purpose Yocheved, I mean about life:
"In this book I wanted to tell for generations to come on my personal victory over the Germans tried to exterminate all the Jews. I wanted to tell how we found within the horror of humanity and love, humor, hope and strength of life - my parents' values bequeathed to me, marked the way I chose to live.
What makes this reality was, I would continue the life I had as a child, but unfortunately the war destroyed everything. We had to build our lives anew.
From my experience I learned to take life as it is, and do only what makes a good myself and others, to go through life peacefully as possible. The person to plan the future, and live his life in his ability. Grandma always used to say "If I let you ten a penny, put one on. Over time, they will accumulate."
Life has taught me not to need help, and rely only on myself. Now, I conclude my life and enjoy the lovely family and I built my life I had created, I think I went the long way: snowy Poland treats midwife of her wishes come true at once, I was a proud grandmother sunny land of Israel.
He would tell me in those days of hunger and terror in the attic of the barn Gancner, Herbie tent Vskarnvic cemetery, or in the basement of the airport, sit in my house one day in Israel, and tell the stories to grandchildren, should I believe? I do not know. "
We got to meet a strong, assertive, a worrier like all Polish, smart, warm, loving, and we thank her and her husband sincerely for the warm hospitality and sharing the story of her extraordinary life.
Hope we could move the story, at least as far as possible, because words can not really tell the story of life ..

Thus, a very special and entertaining way, you can see next video of Mordechai ("Honey") and Yocheved Ziv.
At the end of her book ("it again I"), describes the purpose Yocheved, I mean about life:
"In this book I wanted to tell for generations to come on my personal victory over the Germans tried to exterminate all the Jews. I wanted to tell how we found within the horror of humanity and love, humor, hope and strength of life - my parents' values bequeathed to me, marked the way I chose to live.
What makes this reality was, I would continue the life I had as a child, but unfortunately the war destroyed everything. We had to build our lives anew.
From my experience I learned to take life as it is, and do only what makes a good myself and others, to go through life peacefully as possible. The person to plan the future, and live his life in his ability. Grandma always used to say "If I let you ten a penny, put one on. Over time, they will accumulate."
Life has taught me not to need help, and rely only on myself. Now, I conclude my life and enjoy the lovely family and I built my life I had created, I think I went the long way: snowy Poland treats midwife of her wishes come true at once, I was a proud grandmother sunny land of Israel.
He would tell me in those days of hunger and terror in the attic of the barn Gancner, Herbie tent Vskarnvic cemetery, or in the basement of the airport, sit in my house one day in Israel, and tell the stories to grandchildren, should I believe? I do not know. "
We got to meet a strong, assertive, a worrier like all Polish, smart, warm, loving, and we thank her and her husband sincerely for the warm hospitality and sharing the story of her extraordinary life.
Hope we could move the story, at least as far as possible, because words can not really tell the story of life ..
