Russian-born Israeli becomes 5th Miss Holocaust Survivor
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Russian-born Israeli woman who was 2-days-old when World War II broke out becomes the fifth Miss Holocaust Survivor.
Anna Grinis, 75, was crowned yesterday at the annual pageant in Haifa for women who survived the Holocaust and the war. Fourteen finalists competed for the crown, according to reports; some 300 women had applied to participate in the contest.
The pageant is sponsored by Yad Ezer L’Haver, or Helping Hand in English, a group that helps needy Holocaust survivors in Israel.
The program, which was attended by Sara Netanyahu, featured a performance by a women’s choir made up of Holocaust survivors — with an average age of 91 — singing Holocaust-themed songs.
