Holocaust Survivor Helen Charash Immigrates to Israel Decades After Kindertransport
Helen Charash, a 92-year-old Holocaust survivor, has recently immigrated to Israel, decades after escaping Nazi Germany as a child via the Kindertransport. Charash, originally from Hamburg, Germany, fled with her sister in December 1938, leaving their parents behind. They were initially placed in a detention camp in the Netherlands before reuniting with their parents and eventually settling in New York. Charash's sister, Eva Hesse, became a renowned artist in New York. Charash's move to Israel was motivated by her desire to be closer to her family, including her son, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren residing in Jerusalem. Despite challenges such as language barriers, Charash is looking forward to engaging with Israeli culture and spending time with her family.
