The two parents from Kurdistan had four children at home. The mother gave birth in Soroka Hospital to twins in 1958. One was small and the other was chubby and strong.

Here follows the conversation in the hospital after the birth, as told by the mother to the rest of her children:

-How many children do you have?

-Four.

-How will you raise them? Maybe you should sell one?

-How can I sell? She is flesh of my flesh!

Later, they informed her that one of the daughters (the strong and chubby one) “passed away” and that there is no need to bury her; they had already buried her in a mass grave.

The mother remembers well how few years afterwards she took her daughter (Ora), the twin that was left, to be examined in a medical clinic, and saw a girl that reminded her of the twin that was kidnapped. The girl tugged on her clothes and drew her attention until she started to flow with milk, even though she was no longer of breast-feeding age. She bought cookies for the girl and for Ora until the mother of the child arrived and took her away.

Sadly, the grandmother died in 2015.

The mother’s name is Narma originally, and in Hebrew: Rana. The father is Issachar Almasi (previous last name of the mother Sharbaf).
