Nanny Saves Toddler from Terrorists in Mumbai
Sandra Samuel heard little Moishe cry, “Sandra! Sandra!” from the second floor of a building that was invaded by armed terrorists. She bravely left her hiding spot to find the young toddler standing beside the bodies of his parents, Gaby and Rivkah Holtzberg. She saved Moishe from the building and brought him to safety.
Sandra was granted a visa to enter Israel because of her heroic act.
Little Moishe, who cries out for his Ima and Abba (Hebrew for mother and father), responds only mostly to Sandra.
The family is devasted for the loss of his parents, but are grateful that Moishe was saved. At the memorial, Moishe’s grandfather said, “”With her great resourcefulness, Sandra saves my grandson’s life. If she hadn’t grabbed him, he would surely have been murdered.”
Moishe was able to celebrate his second birthday.
