Zoya joined the exodus of Jewish survivors en route from Eastern Europe to Palestine. Her guide was a decorated Russian officer. named Jacob Steinberg. who had fought with the Allies from Stalingrad to Berlin after his family was killed by Nazis in their Odessa home. Zoya and Jacob navigated through treacherous postwar Eastern Europe and endured two years in a Cyprus detention center for Jewish immigrants to Palestine before Israels recognition as a State in 1948. They then entered Israel and built there a home. a family with their cherished son Moshe. and a country out of the desert and the ashes of war.
