"My Mother's Death is My Auschwitz"- The Story of Regine Canetti

The story of Regine Canetti, born in Bulgaria, who survived the sinking of the "Salvador" ship in 1940. After immigrating to Mandatory Palestine, she was attached to a worker's farm in Tel Aviv and from there moved to the Sisters of Zion convent in Jerusalem's Old City, becoming a nun.

My grandmother came to the United States in 1905 and left her parents and 13 older brothers. She tried to get her parents here but didn’t have enough money to pay the right people. She got sporadic letters then they stopped. None of them or their families survived or they would have contacted her. I have tried to locate any information about them but never got any leads at all. Now that I am 70 it isn’t much of a priority in my life, but I am sad knowing I lost an entire family because people did not know how to be human beings.

[@Whatsahandle4]

Yeah yeah only you people consider yourselves human beings. So we're the leaders of the Bolsheviks and mensheviks human beings? Or were they blood thirsty, torturous, tyrants. As they claimed to be

It’s something I was not taught in school in the U.K.! But I truly believe is should taught in schools, because we should never forget! But also the fact it still goes on. When are people going to live in peace?. And I’m sorry you lost many family members, and your grandmother was unable to pay for them to get them out from where they we’re. I will never understand anyone who can treat people in the most horrific way! Not sure there is a word in the dictionary that is adequate for what happened!

I hope I'm not insulting you, but did you contact Yad Vashem to try to locate your family?

[@IRosamelia]

@@ptownRandy1 I agree, surely someone at Yad Vashem can help her find out about her relatives

[@ptownRandy1]

There have been reunions of those persecuted by the Nazis up until the present time. Ask a grandchild to help with the search.

[@vaidyasantosh8559]

It need couragous to speak about this tragedy sorry for suffering all this losing the family member near and dear ones Omshanti 🙏🙏🙏🙏😥😥😥😥😥 Rip all those who perished

[@helenh493]

What a Wonderful and insightful woman! How traumatic her journey to freedom from the Nazis and persecution, started. Nearly drowning, losing her mother and brother, and everything she held near and dear to her.. and no one was giving her, a lone young girl any emotional support.. including the Jewish Zion's group?? THAT was so emotionally (and actually) mentally and morally Tragic! Its no wonder she broke away from her (birth) religion. Her father wasn't with her when she needed him most, and she needed emotional support as much as any Holocaust survivor did, just as the young 'hidden' boys & girls survivors needed extra physical and emotional support. That the convent sisters opened their domain as refuge and their arms of welcome to support and care for her, was what she needed. And it was a Wonderful thing. Her father crying, even his anger was probably just frustration, and guilt feelings, being as he lost his wife and son and now his daughter (in a different way), and wasn't able to be with her when she needed him. No doubt he felt responsible for the choice she made. (Not his choice). As I said, a Wonderful, insightful woman.. her last words said it best. "Being Human", being humane, to one another, and respecting one another as humans, is the most important thing.. not what color or religion or anything else is as important. We are all humans, we all want to be noteworthy, and respected, and acknowledged as Humans. God Bless Sister Regine

Though we should have learned the importance of love and peace from history such as this, but sadly this has not happened. Big and mighty are supressing the weak, , there are wars going on, selfishness is the order of the day, nowadays. This all is happening simply because we have forgotten to be human beings

[@helenh493]

you are so right, and its (sadly) so true.. these days. 😞

[@thierrymorales9797]

What happened to her elder sister? Not a word about her after her wedding

[@familygotlieb2897]

How tragic that you never took the opportunity to really learn about Judaism, historic Torah Judaism. How tragic that you did not study your Jewish heritage from an authentic Jewish and religious perspective. All the spirituality that you seek, you will find in Torah Judaism. It is never too late for a Jew to find his or her way back. You can contact Chabad, Aish HaTorah, or other Torah organizations to help you learn more about your Jewish heritage. You can also watch the videos on the site - Jews for Judaism. Michael Skobac and others on the site explain things very clearly. Belief in Jesus might be permissible for non-Jews. For Jews, to believe in Jesus is a tragedy, causing great pain to the Jewish soul.

Be a human being first. This woman did what she had to survive. Listen to her.

[@helenh493]

Shame on you! 'putting down' someone, is Not what this (her) or anyones Testimony is about. Its getting information, its acknowledging ones story of testimony. Its not Your place to say either way, Its her story, not yours. And, its Gods place to say, not yours.

[@Ellecram]

@@helenh493 god? I am not going to engage with someone who believes in imaginary beings. And one who has no empathy for situational response. Bye.

[@helenh493]

@@Ellecram its my opinion.. so you are doing the same as me.. HAH! I was just saying Don't put-down others unless you were there yourself, walking in her shoes and in her path. She did what she had to, to help herself at the time. Anyone would in those situations as it were, desperate times. As far as God.. its not the issue I was making.. I'm not a fanatic, religious or otherwise. But, I think you are ..the otherwise, I mean. So what. Theres worse issues these days goings on.. its not people hating a certain religious people, nor a certain color or ethnic people, or even a different politics people... it all of it.. its people hating people for any and no reason. And you think the word or term God is the issue. HAH! you're right, we don't JIVE. But be careful with those Haters.

[@Ellecram]

@@helenh493 Sorry I misunderstood you. We think the same thing. Apologies about the god thing but I just can't believe in that stuff. But definitely not a hater. Best of all things to you.

Luke 1:26-35 [26]Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth, [27]to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. [28]And coming in, he said to her, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you." [29]But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was. [30]The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. [31]And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. [32]He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; [33]and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end." [34]Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" [35]The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.
