We met with Dalia Landau in her home. What a powerful story she has to tell about her life and her struggle as a child of holocaust survivors who immigrated to Israel out of desperation and fear - and moved into an Arab home in Ramla.
As a teenager three young men came to her home asking if they could see the lemon tree their father had planted when they were children. This encounter led to a changed life for them both.
One of our group asked Dalia what price has she paid. To which she answered, "I lost my innocence that day.". As the song goes "sometimes I wish my eyes hadn't been opened..."
