KNOWN FACTS
Golda was born in the USSR in 1943 or 1944.
In 1946 Polish citizens stranded in the USSR during World War Two were allowed to go back to Poland. This was called the Repatriacja ( Repatriation). The fact that Golda arrived in Poland with the repatriants must mean that at least one of her parents was a Polish citizen.
In 1946 a Zionist umbrella organisation popularly called Koordinacja set up at least four children's homes in Poland. Their aim was to bring these child survivors to Eretz Israel. One of the homes was located in Petrolesia, today called Pieszyce, in southwest Poland. Golda stayed for a short time in Peterolesia.
From Poland she was brought to Germany where she stayed at least in these three places:
Dornstadt near Ulm in Bavaria
Dorfen
Blankenese near Hamburg
In April 1948 a ship named Endeavour brought Golda and other child survivors from Marseille, France to Haifa.
