Shaul
Rochama and David Yona Shaul were married at the city of Amara in Iraq in 1944.
Their children, Shabtai, Aliza and Zamira were born in Iraq. Parchia, chaviva,Carmela and Tzion were born in Israel.
The family came to Israel in 1950 and moved to a transit camp in Binyamina.
After three months the family was transferred to the settlement of Patish in the Negev.
Two months later, the family left Patish due to security tensions and moved to Jerusalem where they settled down in Musrara neighborhood, on Hanevi'im street.
In 1954 the Shaul family left Musrara, when Jordanian sniper shots from east Jerusalem threatened civilians, and moved to Talpiot neighborhood (with the help of the “low priced housing cooperative program” led by Golda Meir, that allowed them to buy an apartment in a safer location). In 1963 they moved back to the neighborhood, to live at “Hachoma Hashlishit” street, and in 1969 they left again to Beit hakerem.
The participants in this interview are Rochama Shaul and her son Tzion.
