Channa Gildoni was born in Leipzig in 1923 as the only child of the Moronowiczs. The family belongs to the so-called "Ostjuden" and is part of the Orthodox community. A happy childhood is followed by terrible experiences under National Socialism: discrimination, racial mania, anti-Semitism, the so-called Polish Action and the Night of Pogrom. Just in time, she manages to escape via Hungary to Tel Aviv. A new life begins there. Channa Gildoni is Chairwoman of the Association of Former Leipziger in Israel, bridge builder, bearer of the pin of honor of the City of Leipzig and the Federal Cross of Merit on ribbon. She is one of the last contemporary witnesses who can report on Jewish life in Germany before the Shoah and is committed to reconciliation as well as to lively and friendly German-Israeli relations even into old age.
