On Oct. 7, Adele Raemer survived the Hamas attacks in her kibbutz Nirim on the border with Gaza only to find herself and her extended family displaced, refugees of a kind in their own country. She’s now advocating for the release of the hostages still being held captive in Gaza, several of whom she knew personally including Nadav Popplewell and Yagev Buchshtav.
Born in the U.S., Raemer arrived in Israel in 1973, served with the Israeli Defense Forces and then began teaching school children at Nirim in 1975. She continued her classroom career there for almost 40 years while raising her children and then enjoying her grandchildren.
Raemer and her family miraculously survived the Hamas attack, hiding in safe rooms in their homes. Hamas however, was able to kill, injure, or abduct about 100 of Nirim’s 400 residents.
