Magda M. was born in Poznan, Poland, to a Jewish family that hid their identity from Nazi persecutors. Lidia C. has Jewish roots that extend back to the Inquisition and the forced conversions in Spain that led her ancestors to observe Jewish rituals in secret.
Magda and Lidia know about desperate situations. That’s why they are an integral part of In Esther’s Name – the Ukrainian Refugee Project. These two courageous women, both mothers, both living here in Serrastretta in south Italy, are part of a small but determined committee whose members have worked to bring suffering Ukrainian women and children — Jewish, Christian and secular — to the safety and peace of our mountain village.
