Can justice help families rebuild after terrorism?
On the Echoes of Jewish History podcast, Shurat HaDin President Nitsana Darshan-Leitner shares the heartbreaking story of 17-year-old Ella Abekasis, who sacrificed her own life to shield her younger brother during a Hamas rocket attack on the Israeli city of Sderot.
Years later, after Shurat HaDin helped Ella's family pursue justice, her father said something Nitsana will never forget:
"Thank you for giving me my dignity back."
In this powerful interview with Jimmy Bitton, Nitsana explains why pursuing terrorists and those who finance them is about much more than financial compensation. For families devastated by terrorism, legal action can provide accountability, restore dignity, and ensure their loved ones are never forgotten.
Shurat HaDin (Israel Law Center) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting terrorism through the legal system, holding terrorist organizations and their supporters accountable, defending Israel, and pursuing justice for victims around the world.
