But following this visit to the headmaster, the bullying I experienced didn’t get better. After that moment the headmaster invited us into his office. When you need me, just rub the ring and know I’m sending you courage. My mom said, “Shiri, this ring will give you courage when you need it and I can’t be there. It wasn’t until all the students went upstairs that my mom turned to me and gave me a silver ring, which had a tiny pearl with two gold ball accents. Everyone asked why my mom was there with me. Since it was the beginning of the day, lots of kids were inside the waiting room with me and my mom. Outside of his office was a small waiting room. When you walked into the lobby of my school, on the right were the main office secretary and assistant principal’s desks, and on the left was the headmaster’s office.
Haas has previously played a Holocaust survivor herself, in the 2017 film “The Zookeeper’s Wife,” opposite Jessica Chastain, and in her youth acted in a theater production of the Sobol play “Ghetto.” And, of course, the Holocaust is woven into “Unorthodox,” which takes place mostly in Berlin, and in which the character grapples with the country’s history - particularly in one scene where they go swimming in the Berlin suburb of Wansee, where Nazi officials in 1942 sat to discuss the “Final solution to the Jewish question.” Haas’ character, Esty, flees her strict Satmar community in Brooklyn the Satmar sect actually originated in Hungary, where Haas’ grandmother is from, and it was reestablished in New York following the Holocaust.Soon afterwards, my mom came with me to school to meet with the headmaster. “How can one ever describe how much? But I’m sure you felt it.” “I love you so much, my savta,” she continued. What a privilege that will remain forever. There is nothing more healing and important than love and there is no person who has taught me that lesson like my grandmother. She was the most alive, sharp, funny, witty and loved person that I have ever met. With fascinating talks about philosophy, the human psyche, politics and gossip. With treats, with cooking, with hugs, with life advice.

Years full of rummy games until dawn, jokes, and humor until your belly aches with laughter. “The icon of my childhood, the icon of my life. “At the end of the last message that my grandmother wrote me, before she passed away today, she noted that she loves me ‘a love that you can’t describe in words, but I’m certain you feel me !!’ Countless days and endless nights, she was by my side when I was sick,” Haas wrote, referring to her battle with cancer when she was a child. It’s family.”īelow the English-language message - which Haas posted on the day of her grandmother’s death - she added a moving and poetic tribute to her savta in her native tongue, Hebrew, detailing exactly what she meant to her: Let’s rebuild what they’re trying to destroy.’ And if you look at it like that, then it’s not revenge.
When they met, it wasn’t even about love almost. My grandmother is also a survivor from Hungary,” she said.
These sentiments echo what Haas told MTV.com about her incredible grandmother last year: “I come from a secular family, but my grandfather is an Auschwitz survivor. 4 children, 13 grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren. “A true survivor, one who lost almost all of her family in the Holocaust and had the most beautiful revenge: love. “My grandma, my love, has passed,” the Israeli actress, 26, wrote in English on Thursday. Yesterday, ”Unorthodox” and “Shtisel” star Shira Haas eulogized her grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, in a moving Instagram post.
