Born in Damasco, Syria on 1938, when she is only five in the winter on 1943, escapes from anti-Semitic persecution together many young Jews going ashore at Palestinia. The little child Masal lives with terrifying anguishes the division from her mum stayed in Syria and that from older sister, after the arrival at Kibbutz in Israele.
