From a Wall Street Journal commentary by Pauline Steinhorn headlined “Why My Grandmother Helped a Nazi’s Boy”:

Israel said it received a request for earthquake relief from Syria and will send aid. Bashar al-Assad’s government, which maintains a state of war with Israel, denies having made the request. Israel’s willingness to help care for enemy civilians reminds me of a story I discovered in the journal of my maternal grandmother, Bronia Feldman Rubinstein.
