HAIFA, Israel -- Esti Libeir was 11 years old when she fled the Nazi regime, escaping from her family house as German soldiers shot her father dead in 1943.

The 76-year-old is one of an estimated 210,000 Holocaust survivors living in Israel, of which one quarter are living in poverty, many more of them without the support of family networks.

I heard shots being fired, she said, recalling one Friday night in 1948. I knew right away the Germans shot my father.
