Rescuing Holocaust survivors from Ukraine

Julia Entin has been working feverishly — thousands of miles away in Los Angeles — to evacuate Holocaust survivors in Ukraine who find themselves trapped in yet another conflict.

She tells Newsday about a couple, both Holocaust survivors who she tried to evacuate a couple of weeks ago. The husband felt unable to travel and has since died. His wife is due to leave Ukraine in the next hours, alone: “There’s really nothing at this point tying her to a time and place that they chose to be at for over 80 years… it’s a tragedy piled on tragedy.â€
