Benjamin Aviram Bora's testimony:

My parents, Shimon and Rachel Borah, immigrated to Israel from Yemen in 1950 and were sent to a transit camp (ma’abara) in the Jerusalem Corridor, where they stayed until 1953.

On the evening of Rosh Chodesh (the first day) of the month Sivan (June 4th) in 1951, my mother gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, in a hospital close to her camp (I don't know the name).

When Mother was alive, she told us that the twins were born healthy and intact and that she even nursed them in the hospital for 3 days, and then doctors came and told her that the twins were not so healthy and that they should be left in the hospital for treatment.

They told her to go home and come back in two or three days.

Mother and Father returned to the hospital two days later, looked for the twins and did not see them. When they asked the staff where the children were, they were told they were dead. My parents were innocent and did not imagine that Jews had kidnapped their children, but throughout the years they had a bad feeling, and they always talked about it, especially my mother, who talked about it with heavy and deep sorrow all the years, until she passed away. She had a very strong feeling that the twins were alive and not dead, and all these years she would talk about it and cry.

We, the siblings, always talked to mom and dad and thought that if they were told that the twins were dead, then where is the grave, and where is the death certificate? And how is it that two twins died together at exactly the same minute?

On March 31,1996, when my parents were no longer alive, I spoke with Sharabi Amram Solman, a relative and a good friend of my parents. I asked to hear from him everything he knew about my twin brother and sister. He told me everything, I wrote everything down and signed him. A real testimony.

With that I went to give my testimony, at the Cohen-Kedmi committee that year. I was searching for the truth about my brother and sister. The representatives on the committee were hostile and the committee falsified all the data.

I testified that I had twin siblings, a boy and a girl, who were born on the evening of Rosh Chodesh Sivan in 1951, and that my mother testified in her lifetime that she gave birth to healthy children and also nursed them for several days in the hospital, adding the testimony of Sharabi Amram. In their conclusions, they wrote that I am wrong, that they were twin girls. and that in general, mother came to the hospital to have an abortion on 6 months of pregnancy. They just whitewashed everything.

I took it upon myself to do everything I could to find my siblings. A few years ago I also gave a DNA sample in a group organized by then Knesset Member Nurit Koren.

Every time I talk about it I get emotional and cry. I wish one day I will see my siblings.

Addendum by AMRAM:

In the conclusions of the Cohen-Kedmi Committee, it is written that the case was investigated with the hospital, and they found that the mother miscarried twin girls in the 6th month on September 17,1951, when they do not specify the name of the hospital they said they found. This is while during the investigation of Binyamin Aviram Bora, the witness, they insisted that he provide the name of the hospital in which his mother gave birth.

It was also written that they located a burial order of the burial society (Chevra Kadisha) and that the twins were buried at the expense of the Mate’ Yehuda Regional Council, while there is no indication of a cemetery, or a grave plot.

In the committee's conclusions, there is no match not only in the gender of the babies, in the month of birth, in the question of whether it was an abortion or a live birth and the question of the four days that the children lived and were breastfed according to the testimonies, but also in the date (according to the testimonies the month of Sivan and according to the documents-the month of Elul).

The burial order is also suspicious. If they ordered a funeral, why didn't they register it?
