The Miren family has been through a nightmare experience in recent months. Amri Miren, together with his wife Lishi and their two daughters, found themselves in the middle of a terrorist attack at the MMD in Kibbutz Nahal Oz. But it was not just a routine missile attack, terrorists had entered the kibbutz and were forcing Tomer Arab Eliez to beg the residents to leave their homes and then murdering them in front of him.
Amri, knowing the severity of the situation, armed himself with two knives from the kitchen and when he heard Tomer, he opened the door. Little did he know, the terrorists were using Tomer to move from house to house, leading him to call residents and then killing them in front of him. The Miren family survived the first attack, but they, along with the Idan family, were kidnapped by the terrorists.
The terror and helplessness experienced by the family during the attack is something that is difficult to put into words. The family remained in the hands of the terrorists for a long time, not knowing if they would survive or ever see each other again. The relief and joy of learning that they were alive and the hope of Amri’s return is unimaginable.
Amidst all this, Danny Miren, Amri’s father, has been tirelessly advocating for the return of the abductees. His story, stemming from the Farhud in Iraq and the Holocaust, has brought a human face to the victims of the current conflict. His resilience and determination to bring his son back home is reflected in his relentless efforts to raise awareness, meet with international bodies, and try to garner support for the return of the abducted individuals. His presence in the Kidnapped Square is a powerful symbol of hope and resilience for the entire nation.
As the family continues to fight for the return of Amri and the other abductees, the nightmare they have experienced is a sobering reminder of the harsh realities faced by those caught in conflict. The perseverance and courage they have shown in the face of unimaginable trauma is a testament to the human spirit and the enduring hope for a better future.
