(JEWISH GROUP) Israel's oldest Holocaust survivor Nechama Grossman dies on Remembrance Day, aged 109

Israel’s oldest known Holocaust survivor, Nechama Grossman, died on Thursday at age 109, as the country marked Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Her funeral was held Friday in Arad, where she lived most of her life.

Grossman was born in 1915, and after fleeing Europe, she settled in the Israeli southern city, where she started a family.

According to the Kan broadcaster, Grossman is survived by two children, four grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.

Her son, Vladimir Schwatz, spoke about her at a Holocaust Remembrance event earlier this week, just before she died.
