GISELA, HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR, LIVING AT HOME WITH DIGNITY
Gisela, a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor and a native of Hungary who survived the horrors of Auschwitz, today lives in Boynton Beach.
Though Gisela is frail and her family lives in Connecticut, she is able to live at home independently thanks to Kramer Senior Services, a subsidiary of MorseLife Health System and partner of Federation.
Sharon, a local volunteer, delivers kosher meals to Gisela each week; the two have weekly discussions and enjoy a meaningful friendship. But Gisela doesn’t spend all of her time at home; she connects and finds companionship with other Holocaust survivors at AJFCS’ programs each month.
