Rifca Segal in Sulita and Botosani

narrated by
Jeni Barnett

Rifca grew up in a village that was nearly 75% Jewish, and she tells us life was good—until the war—when the family was forced to move to a bigger town. They were not deported further but lived in abject poverty and in constant anxiety. Rifca married, raised a family and spent her last years teaching Hebrew to an ever-shrinking class of Jewish children.
