My parents, Leah and Yosef Aharoni immigrated from Yemen in 1948 and lived in Kiryat Ekron. We were born in Kaplan, my twin and I. My mother stayed in Kaplan, and we were transferred to WIZO in Tel-Aviv immediately after the birth. We were in an incubator for 3 months. My father would go to Tel Aviv every time to see us, and on the third day he was told that my twin had passed away. My mother only saw her after the birth. I have been hurting for 50 years now. Where is my sister? In Israel? Abroad?

My mother went from office to office, sending letters and requests to each agency to find scraps of information that would help her find the girl.

Over time, she came across conflicting medical documents regarding the hospitalization and "death" of the girl. For example, the birth was on September 14, 1966, and after four days the girls were transferred to WIZO Tel Aviv - whereas it was recorded in the documents that they were admitted to WIZO two hours after the birth. Also, a death certificate was found with the date September 16, alongside a certificate of entry into the WIZO neonatal intensive care unit on September 18. How did she get to WIZO after she died? At the same time, a post-mortem certificate from the Institute of Forensic Medicine was also found dated to September 18.

Pnina Hamami, the sister

We were raised in Yemen to be innocent and honest, we believed, and we arrived to this land and everything we were told was holy and sacred. We didn't believe they would do such a thing.

I have a heart condition, I've gone through surgeries, I just want one thing before the end of my life: to see her and for her to know how much I've run around for her. I want to show her the documents so that she knows that I did not keep silent - I did not search at first because I believed them, but after I received the warrants I did not remain silent. I am not blaming anyone. The only thing I want is to see my daughter. After that, wherever she wants to go, wherever she wants to be, that's fine. But I have to calm down towards the end of my life.
