*For those who don't know the Nifteres was a special person. Her bravery and Emunah as a 15 year old during the seige of Budapest was remarkable. For six months she almost daily  exited the apartment where her parents and brothers and sisters were hiding to secure food for their survival, while assuming the role of a Hungarian Gentile. Had her Jewishness been discovered she would Chas V'shalom have been sent to the death camps.
