A letter placed in the Western Wall by the daughters of Hedy Orden.
I love you Israel and I was always a Zionist, even before you existed. Every night in Auschwitz, I dreamed of you. Even though I cannot travel to Israel now, I wish I could kiss the ground and share how fortunate I feel. Even with my terrible history, I feel so lucky and grateful. My only wish is to see and feel and hear my family. And with no pain at 93, I am so lucky!
Hedy Orden is a philanthropist and a Holocaust survivor living in Los Angeles.
