Lacul Rosu, Romania
On the way there we heard the story of how Savta and Saba fled from Romania- After the war, Saba went to Bucharest for work for 2 years and after, he returned to Dorohoi. But, he needed to enlist to the Romanian army, and he did not want to. So he decided with Savta, to get married and to escape to Israel, illegally. So they drove to Transylvania, rented a room, and waited for someone who would help them escape, while waiting due to inflation, the price doubled from 12000000 lei to 250000000. Savta wanted to go back, but Saba refused, so they sold all their belongings and clothes, and managed to pay the smuggler and crossed to Hungary. From there they fled to Austria, where they joined many other Jews. They then fled to Italy and were put into a camp organized by the Joint. The Jewish men would go to mini army exercises to get ready for the independence war of Israel.
We talked about how our driver Sherban, is 23 years old, and speaks very good English, and if Savta had not fled to Israel, her grandchildren might have been in the same university as him, Omer, it means you........
