Haya Szarfman was born in 1934 in Wygoda, a town in north-eastern Poland. We talked to Haya on 'Yom HaShoah'. At age five, Haya’s idyllic life turned into hell on earth. She tells us about her miraculous survival story. During the interview Haya met some very charming, young Israeli soldiers, and told them that the key lesson from her life story is to always stay upbeat, overcome challenges and look forward to a better future.
