In the month of March in the Kirya [hospital] in Tel Aviv in the year of 48 my wife gave birth to a daughter. There was no problem. The doctors said that everything is fine, she’s beautiful and healthy, but [that I should] let them rest and come back tomorrow. The next day I came back and my wife is crying. Why are you crying I asked. Everyone was brought their babies except for me, they told me the baby girl died. I approached the staff. Asked to see the body. They told me they threw her to the garbage. They threw a baby to the garbage?

I am a loyal Zionist, I could not believe someone could do something like this. I was immediately enlisted to the military to Golani [a combat infantry brigade]. I came back to the hospital afterwards and nothing. I was an enthusiastic Zionist, I couldn’t believe it.
