AFP When the face of 86-year-old Holocaust survivor Naomie Lichthaus appeared on their screen, staff at the call center of Israel’s Yad Ezer L’Haver foundation were ready to respond.
The foundation, established by Shimon Shabag in the northern port city of Haifa in 2001, has been supporting survivors of the Nazis for two decades but its mission has expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic.
