Heyman was among the 430,000 Hungarian Jews deported to Nazi concentration camps between May 15 and July 9, 1944. She died in Auschwitz. Kochavi and his daughter Maya have created a series of 70 stories on Instagram.

Heyman's story was broadcast throughout Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel, which began Sunday at sunset.. The scenes show as if the young woman had had a smartphone during the Second World War and I used Instagram forward updates of his life.

"I am surrounded by war, but I always look at the sunHe said cheerfully, after the Nazis gained control over the Jews of HungaryThey deported Heyman and his family in the ghetto.
