The mother of the family, Naama Samri, gave birth to her son in 1950. She was told that her son had died.

The family applied to the Bahlul-Minkowski Committee and the committee determined that the newborn had died and had been buried. The family refused to accept the Bahlul-Minkowski Committee’s conclusions and started to investigate the case themselves. Following is the testimony as it was presented in the documentary film "Down a One-Way Road,” directed by Tzipi Talmor, blessed be her memory:

“I went to the State Archive [...] he tried to avoid the issue but after putting pressure on him he opened the file. He stood by me the whole time and did not let me touch anything, just look. He also did not let me take photographs [...] I copied most of the details of the case from the file. There was a brown bag there, like a grocery store bag. The bag was sealed and labeled ‘confidential.’ He would not let me open the bag, saying it was not possible. I documented what I could from the file.

On one of the last pages there was a full account of what happened with the newborn. The baby was handed over from Dr. Mary Gordon, who was my mother’s midwife, to Dr. Yuval Eyal. Dr. Yuval Eyal, together with a lawyer named Kirsch, sent the baby to Montreal, Canada, to the Einhorn family. For this delivery of an infant eight days in age, they received $5,000 Canadian dollars. These were documented in the file as 50,000 Israeli liras in the same year, 1950. "
