A 91-year-old Holocaust survivor, Wanda Obedkova, has died in one of the basements of Mariupol, which is surrounded by Russian occupiers. This was reported by Chabad.org/News.

It is known that the 91-year-old woman spent her last weeks in a cold basement, begging for food and water and could not even get up. “Wanda Semenovna Obedkova, a Holocaust survivor, wanted to know only one thing: 'Why is this happening?'” The newspaper writes.

The woman died on April 4, but it was reported only on April 19, when the daughter of the deceased managed to get out of Mariupol to a safer place. “My mother did not deserve such a death,” the publication quoted the daughter of the deceased Larisa, who remained with her mother until the last, but could not save her. After her death, her daughter and son-in-law buried Wanda Obedkova in a city park less than a kilometer from the Sea of ​​Azov. The shelling of the city at that time did not stop and the couple risked their lives by burying Larisa's mother.

“The whole of Mariupol has turned into a cemetery,” the publication quoted the director of Mariupol, Chabad-Lubavich, Rabbi Mendel Cohen. – Wanda Semenovna experienced incredible horrors. She was a kind, joyful woman, a special person who will forever remain in our hearts. ” > It will be recalled that according to the Azov Regiment, the Azovstal plant in Mariupol is practically destroyed, and many civilians are under the rubble.
