Partisan Sara Ginaite at the liberation of Vilna. 11 August 1944
Sara and her husband Misha were among the first group of seventeen underground members who on December 14-15, 1943, left the Kovno ghetto for the Rudninkai Forest and became partisans.
On January 7, 1944, Sara was sent back to the ghetto with four others to escort a new group of resistance fighters to the forest.
She reentered the ghetto by pretending to be a nurse and claiming that she needed to escort four sick workers to the ghetto hospital. The ruse worked, and on February 8, Sara returned to escort another group to the forest.
The partisan unit they established, called "Death to the Occupiers," operated in the vicinity of Vilna and assisted in the liberation of the city.
Remember Ron Yehudai (רון יהודאי)
24 years old, from Yehud-Monosson. Energetic, charismatic and known for his infectious joy, Ron loved soccer, music, dancing, travel and tattoos. He had played competitive soccer until age 18, later served as an operational driver in the IDF, and traveled for six months through South America. He was a devoted Beitar Jerusalem supporter and dreamed of becoming a tattoo artist and DJ.
On October 7, 2023, Ron attended the Nova music festival with friends. When the attack began, he hid with other festivalgoers inside a large yellow garbage container for about five and a half hours, remaining in contact with his family. At 11:39 a.m., his final message told them that everything would be okay and that he loved them. Minutes later, gunmen discovered the people hiding inside and opened fire. Ron was murdered at age 24.
Ron left behind his parents, Sigal and @YehudaiYor70520 and his siblings, Adi and Noam. His family later turned his bedroom into a tattoo studio in his memory.
May his memory be a blessing.
