Born in 1937 in The Hague, Emmie Arbel and her Jewish family were deported by the Nazis in 1942. She survived the Ravensbrück and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps as a child. When the war ended, she was eight years old. Her parents and grandparents had been murdered in the Holocaust. Emmie and her brothers were adopted by a foster family and lived in the Netherlands. However, this rescue turned out to be a new ordeal for the traumatized child. In 1949, the family emigrated to Israel. In the Kibbutz, Emmie felt isolated and belonging nowhere until she took her life into her own hands as a young woman.

This event is in cooperation with the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and takes place as part of the 79th anniversary of the liberation of the Ravensbrück women's concentration camp. The complete programme of the anniversary can be found here.
