Holocaust survivor Abba Naor has experienced many attacks on Israel. He was not afraid of the Islamic Republic’s airstrikes. He explains why there was no panic in his country.
On Sunday night, Abba Naor didn’t close his eyes. The 96-year-old Israeli is watching the Iranian air attack on his country with more than 300 drones and missiles on his television. On Sunday morning, the Shoah survivor, who lives in the town of Rehovot, about 25 kilometers from Tel Aviv, was reached on the phone. Abba Naor is Vice President of the Comité International de Dachau, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Bavarian Memorial Foundation and has appeared as a contemporary witness in German schools since the 1990s. He describes how he, his family and other Israelis experienced this first direct confrontation with the Islamic Republic.
