Next time anyone claims Jews are “settlers” in Judea & Samaria, tell them the story of Atara Abramson.
Murdered by Jordanian soldiers, in May 1948, Atara lived in Kfar Etzion, a Jewish agricultural village 20 km south of Jerusalem established on land bought by Jews in 1934.

Born in Poland in 1926, Atara was herded from her home by the Nazis from place to place, ending WWII in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.
