For Love of Life

During the Nazi occupation of Belgium in 1942, Leah, aged three, and her older sister, Sylvia, aged seven, were hidden in a convent cellar. Their mother reassured Sylvia that at the end of the war she would be re-united with them. Sylvia had also been instructed to keep alive for both girls the spirit of what had been their joyful extended family, and their inherent Jewish background.
