“There is Only One Country for Us”

"Gita Koifman has lived in three countries. She feels at home in only one—Eretz Israel. “Even as a child I wanted to get out of the Soviet Union. I had no idea where Tel Aviv was, but I wanted to go there; it was somehow imprinted in my genetic memory,” says Koifman, who leads a large association of Russian- speaking Holocaust survivors in Israel and is supported by Christians for Israel.
