On 'Survivors' Street' in Haifa, Israel, memories of the Holocaust live on
On a quiet lane in Haifa, about 100 people who made it through the genocide spend their days
It has become known in Israel as "Survivors' Street" - a small road in Haifa where about 100 Holocaust survivors are living out their last days side-by-side, keeping alive the haunting memories of the Nazi genocide.
The quiet and shady street was initially only the home of a social centre that supplied meals to the elderly in this northern port city, where many Jewish immigrants settled after fleeing Europe by boat.
But in recent years it has been transformed, after the group running the centre, Yad Ezer ("A Helping Hand"), noticed how many of those it was serving were Holocaust survivors.
"When they would pick up their trays you would see more and more of them with a number tattooed on their forearms," said Tami Sinar, who is the organisation's coordinator.
In 2007, Yad Ezer began buying or renting buildings on the street to provide subsidised housing for Holocaust survivors.
About 180,000 Jews who survived the Holocaust are now living in the mainly Jewish state, according to the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Survivors in Israel. Many of them are struggling, with nearly a quarter living below the poverty line.
