Ralph Lewinsohn was born in Namibia to parents who’d fled Nazi Germany just before WW2. Later on he lived in Australia and in Germany, but many years ago he made Aliya and for many years lived in Kfar Aza, opposite the Gaza Strip


Ralph’s family survived by a miracle on the 7th of October, but dozens of Kibbutz members, including children, babies and elderly did not.

Ralph says that "Jews and Israelis who live overseas, in particular in Australia, should fight anti Israel bias".
