I wondered where Yonatan Zeigen found his strength; then I realised it comes from his dead mother. Vivian Silver was a Canadian-Israeli humanitarian and peace activist, who was murdered by Hamas gunmen at her home on Be’eri kibbutz, just a few kilometres from the Israel-Gaza border, on 7 October. On that day Hamas killed about 1,200 Israelis at multiple sites, with more than 100 perishing at the kibbutz.

Some of the pictures show a smiling blond 10-year-old - Ido's son, Avichai. He is photographed on holiday with the rest of the family skiing, or climbing an orange tree, or playing football. In one picture, he is goofing around in a white tutu. "He'll be embarrassed by that photo now," Ido says laughing.
