About the Author

Eve Elovic was born in Poland in 1933. Although the stories in this book are not autobiographical, Ms. Elovic lived through the Holocaust as a child and was naturally affected by it. She spent most of the war years, first in Siberia, which is where she was deported to by the Russians with her family, and later in Turkestan in the south of Russia. There, she was placed, together with her two siblings, in an orphanage where her mother was employed.
With the other children from the orphanage, they made their way to Israel (then Palestine) via Teheran in the first transport that reached the country in the midst of the war in 1942. Hence, the transport was called “The Children of Teheran”.
Ms. Elovic’s first book, Till They Meet Again, was autobiographical, based on her family’s experiences during the war.
Prior to retirement, Ms. Elovic operated an art and antique gallery with her father in Tel-Aviv, where she resides today. Her father’s outstanding Judaica collection – the Stieglitz Collection – was donated to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem where it constitutes a major part of the Museum’s Judaica collection.
