Two strides across, the rest is dark...
Life is a fleeting question mark

Or the next month may still find me here,
But death, I feel is very near.
I could have been 23 next July
I gambled on what mattered most, the dice were cast. I lost."]]> 2018-03-24 20:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vochr001/cn4ltyfyh4ag/wish/245766700 vochr001 https://padlet.com/vochr001/cn4ltyfyh4ag/wish/245767130 A poem written by Hannah Senesh and sung by Ofra Haza.]]> 2018-03-24 20:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/vochr001/cn4ltyfyh4ag/wish/245767130 vochr001 https://padlet.com/vochr001/cn4ltyfyh4ag/wish/245768512 Senesh's remains were brought back to Israel and re-interred at the military cemetery on Mount Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.]]> 2018-03-24 21:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/vochr001/cn4ltyfyh4ag/wish/245768512 vochr001 https://padlet.com/vochr001/cn4ltyfyh4ag/wish/245771091 Hannah was chosen to parachute over Europe and help the Allied forces with the Jewish communities and the other resistance fighters.
