The testimony of Shulamit Azulai, Edna's sister:

My parents, Ya'acov and Najia Sha'ul, immigrated to Israel from Iraq in 1950. They got married in Iraq when Mother was 14 and Dad was 34, and they had four children. When the Farhud pogroms came, they left everything and escaped with their children, my older brothers, to Persia, and from there they came to Israel and were placed in the Sha'ar Alyia transit camp. Later we moved to Pardes Hannah.
In Israel my brother and I were born, as well as Edna, the youngest. We are 7 siblings all in all.

Mother gave birth to Edna in 1955 at the Hadera Maternity Ward. Edna was born healthy and well and mother breastfed her for three days. On the third day, when my father arrived in the maternity hospital to take Mother and Edna home, he and mum were told that Edna died. They were not shown a body; they did not receive a death certificate and were not told of a place of burial. They were good, innocent people and they did not have full command of the Hebrew language, so they were sent home, just like that, without any explanation.

Over the years, Mother was the one who spoke about it.

She told me that after they were told that Edna died, a nurse at the Maternity Hospital came over to her and said: "Never mind that the child died, you are so young and you have six other children at home".

After a while we moved to Pardes Hannah. Two blocks away from us there was a woman who was in the same room as mother in the Hadera Maternity Hospital and they both gave birth on the same day. That women also had a daughter. I remember intensely how every time my mother and I were walking in the neighborhood and bumping into that woman with her child, mum would get sad and say to me: see? Your sister was supposed to be this age now. That’s what it was like whenever we saw them.

When I grew up and would speak of my sister's disappearance, I, too, discovered that I have so many friends who had in their family children who went missing, and we all shared this story with each other.

Because I have no documents I did not know where to start looking for her.

Unfortunately, Mother and Father are no longer alive; they left this world without knowing the fate of their child.
