Submitted: This Holocaust Survivor Has No Matzeiva, and Nobody to Learn Mishnayos for Her Neshama Bella (Baila) Rotner A”H was born in 1921 in Olkusz, Poland, and passed away in 2024 at the remarkable age of 103. Although nearly two years have passed since her petirah, she has still not been zocheh to receive the matzeivah that such an extraordinary woman deserves. We are hoping to change that by raising $5,000 to erect a monument in her memory, and additionally establish a small fund to ensure that Kaddish is recited for her neshamah, and, iy”H, to sponsor Mishnayos to be learned l’ilui nishmas Baila bas Leibel A”H. Before the Holocaust, Bella enjoyed a warm and loving childhood with her parents, three brothers, and younger sister. That beautiful life was shattered when the Nazis invaded Poland. Bella endured the ghettos, forced labor, and concentration camps, while nearly her entire immediate family was murdered. READ MORE ⤵️ Click here to join the official TLS Community:
