Vanda Obiedkova was born in Mariupol on Dec. 8, 1930. She was a Holocaust survivor who again came under siege by Russian forces. Her death in Mariupol was reported by her daughter Larissa, who made it to safety.
Vanda was a remarkable survivor of the Nazi’s war on Jewish civilians in 1941. And she died as a result of Putin’s war on Ukrainian civilians on April 4, 2022.
There is growing verifiable evidence that the Russian forces are committing atrocities, including genocide. And the US has “credible information” of Russians killing unarmed civilians trying to surrender.
This is the same city and the same population that Hitler attacked in World War II.
In another incredible irony, the Putin regime claims to be freeing the citizens from Nazis or protecting the Russian-speaking population. But the constant bombardment is no respecter of Putin’s supposed motives. And the people that are dying are just as likely to be Jewish and Russian-speaking Ukrainians.
Holocaust survivor
Vanda was 10 years old when the Nazis entered Mariupol. And they immediately started rounding up the Jewish population. And the SS took away and killed Vanda’s mother, Maria along with the entire Mindel family.
