Two Holocaust survivors who were separated as children reunited in Israel after 75 years.

Sana lives in Israel, in Raanana, and Mairowitz ended up in the United Kingdom.

Antisemitic graffiti found at Racine synagogue
Antisemitic graffiti was discovered at Racine’s Beth Israel Sinai Congregation on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2019, as board members arrived for a meeting in the afternoon.
