| Introduction | My parents left Germany in 1933 when I was 2. I grew up in the than Palestine, in the countryside, in Tel-Aviv during WWII, and in a kibbutz high school. Like others of my generation, I lived in a world that aspired to create a Jewish state within the borders of old Israel; and thus, I was a member of a youth movement and of the Jewish youth underground. During Israel's War of independence I was responsible for my brigade's medical supplies, served on ambulances, and in the field hospital of the Negev front. After the war I was stationed in a demilitarised Border post at the foot of the Golan Heights. In 1953, graduating a military nursing school, I got married, and worked with immigrants from Bagdad. Due to economic necessity my husband and I immigrated to Australia in 1956, where we opened our own small hospital. After studying in the USA in the 1960's we opened a chiropractic clinic in WA where I worked as a Clinics' administrator and a chiropractic radiologist. I learnt to fly and took part in building a 64ft boat. Nowadays, I write, paint & use the computer. I like walking, swimming & canoeing. |
