My heart is broken.
Ariel and Kfir crept into our hearts and felt like our precious little cousins.
I remember first getting to know those little boys, days after October 7. I wore the Ariel t-shirt at times daily. I took Ariel to the Nelson Mandela bridge and to the beach in Durban as we raised awareness of the hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza. He joined me at the solidarity events in our community in Johannesburg, at Wits university and at a Church event in Katlehong. He accompanied me to many protests.
Holocaust Survivor Marian Turski has sadly passed away.
Deepest condolences to his family. May his memory be a blessing.
