An 86-year-old great-grandmother was announced on Tuesday (16/11) “Miss Holocaust Survivor” at the annual beauty pageant organized in Israel to honor women who experienced the horrors of the Nazi genocide.
Ten contestants, aged 79 to 90, took part in the “beauty pageants” hosted at a museum in Haifa. All of them with impeccable hairstyles, make-up and dressed in hair, with scarves to decorate their toilets.
The contest was canceled last year due to its pandemic Covid-19. The organizers stressed that it is an opportunity to honor the Jews whose youth was “stolen” during the World War II, but managed to survive and build a new life in Israel.
“After what I went through Holocaust“I never imagined I would get here with a big family: two children, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren,” she said. Cuckoo Palmon, who escaped the pogrom in her hometown, Romania. “And yet, I am here, at this age, at 87. It is divine, it is indescribable,” he added.
The winner, the Salina Steinfeld, she was also born in Romania, survived their attacks Nazi and settled in Israel in 1948. Among the contestants was a woman born in Yugoslavia and escaped from the concentration camp Ram, in today’s Croatian.
Some commentators and survivors fear that this contest will humiliate the memory of 6 million Jewish exterminated by them Nazi.
Dana Papo, whose grandmother, Rivka, competed today, rejected this view, stressing that “everyone should see how much beauty there is in these women who experienced this horror.”
“We will show them how much we love and appreciate them. “Thanks to them, we have a future, we have a country,” he stressed.
