Grandma Rivkah married to Nahom Mozogvski.
However, the marriage didn't last long sadly because he died during his service in the Russian Navy while the Nazis destroyed their warships with bombs and airplanes.
(Rivkah and Nahom) -
Rivkah lived in Moldova that was a neighbour to Ukraine.
Rumors started spreading that Nazis are killing jews in Ukraine so she decided to run away by train.
When she arrived to the train station in odessa with her daughter Tova and her suitcase was stolen so she had to board the train empty handed.
While they were on the train the Nazis bombed the train with their airplanes and out of 800 people only 130 survived.
