Mrs. Feldman Icikson was born in Chelm, Poland around 1935. After the German invasion in 1939, the family was sent to several different cities in the Ukraine and White Russia, including Opalin, Lebivne and Giesen. At this time, her father and uncle were arrested by the authorities and shipped to a prison in Asino, Siberia. Esther, her mother and two sisters were sent farther east to Sibiryak. When Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Esther's father and uncle were released under a general amnesty. The family was reunited in Asino after Esther's mother took the family back to Asino via a homemade raft. At the end of 1942, the family was resettled in Kyrgyzstan where they remained until the end of the war in 1945. Following the end of the war, the family returned to Chelm and then moved to a DP (displaced persons) camp in Ulm, Germany. From there they made their way to Israel where they lived in Lut.
