On Yom HaShoah - Holocaust Remembrance- I feel so blessed I could spend the day with this amazing human being. My dear cousin- vibrant at age 104 (!!!) lost her whole family and was one of the only 2% who survived from the city of Monastir (now Bitola, N Macedonia). Today we remember her family and all those who were murdered, and we cherish those that survived. #neverforget

Bitolčanka ( that’s what we call the women from Bitola )

They are well known for being stylish and sophisticated.

I admire her stoicism and bright spirit!

God bless her!

Lots of love from Montenegro! May she outlive Jeanne Louise Calment, and may her every moment henceforth be spent in joy and happyness.

We are probably related. My maiden name is Arouesty. My father was from Monastir. His given name was Rahamim. He went to a French school and served in the

French army during WWI. The French school changed his first name to Henry. Lucky for me, he immigrated to the U. S. in 1919.

Would love to speak with you at some point.

Wonderful! More years and good health to her!!!

I have a good friend of the past 53 years who is now 102 and lives independently, alone since his wife of 70 years died 4 years ago, and, though Covid of course put a major blockade in, still loves having guests, discussing politics, culture, history, ideas, high quality whiskey and fudge......
