TEL AVIV IMAGES 1

Walking down the street, I came upon a city monument to three women who were killed in a bombing...
It was interesting to see the way women and their contribution to the nation are portrayed... I do hope someone will intervene in the case they ever try to use my name for something like that.

INSCRIPTION ON THE FRONT OF THE MONUMENT:


On Friday, Purim eve, March 21 1997,

in "Apropo" Café,

Murderers in a criminal terrorist attack

Killed three young women,

Whose dream was peace:

Yael Gilad – a social worker, 32 y.o.

Michal Meidan-Avrahami – a physician, 32 y.o.

Anat Rosen-Vinter – a lawyer, 30 y.o.

God will avenge their blood,

Their memory will be sustained forever.

(TA municipality symbol)


PLACARD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MONUMENT:


YAEL:

As a social worker, and a mental health officer in her army service, she supported terror victims, as well as those struck by illness and bereavement – and terror struck her down.

MICHAL:

In her death, the new life in her womb was also taken.

ANAT:

Mother to a 6 months old baby, who was with her in the terrorist attack and was saved.
