- [Reporter] Lisa is a Holocaust survivor

who lives in Israel.

The stress of the COVID-19lockdowns and forced isolation

have caused her painful memories

of life in a Ukrainianghetto to resurface.

- [Translator] I was seven

when we were forced bythe Nazi into the ghetto.

Food was very hard to comeby and you could wake up,

not knowing if you haveanything at all to eat that day.

Then each evening we seecarts going down the road

filled with the bodies ofthose who starved to death.

- [Reporter] The constanthunger she experienced

those years in the ghetto

left a lasting psychologicalburden she carries to this day.

- [Translator] That feeling of hunger

is just stuck deep down inside me.

It's a trauma stuck betweenus Holocaust survivors

and the separation andfear caused by this virus

has made it worse.

- [Reporter] Because of her age

and the risk of catching the coronavirus,

Lisa isn't able to go grocery shopping

like she normally would.

So CBN Israel brings herfood and checks up on her

while taking extraprecautions to keep her safe.

- [Translator] I think it's amazing

that you would want to do this for me.

- [Reporter] Thanks to CBN Israel donors,

Lisa and other Holocaustsurvivors across the country

have the comfort of knowingthey'll have food to eat,

and someone to look afterthem through this crisis.

- [Translator] I am sovery thankful for you

and your support.

It means everything toknow that you remember us,

may God bless you and protect you.
