What a real loss for Klal Yisroel Mrs. Uhr as a survivor of Auschwitz had numbers on her arm. She gave her heart and soul to 2 mosdos, Camp Bnos, and Yeshiva Torah Vodaath. She lived next door from where Torah Vodaath used to be in Williamsburg. She worked in Torah Vodaath this past Thursday. May she be Maletz Yosher for Klal Yisroel.
