Retired Brandeis professor Ilan Troen described how his daughter Deborah Matias and her husband died using their bodies to protect their 16-year-old son.
Deborah and Shlomi Matias died shielding their 16-year-old son, who survived a Hamas assault at Holit Kibbutz in southern Israel. Ilan Troen answered a call from his daughter, Deborah Matias, shortly after a warning alarm began to sound through his cellphone at about 6.30 a.m. on Saturday, outside Beersheba in southern Israel.Deborah, 50, and her husband, Shlomi, 49, were dead. Rotem was injured.
Troen, a professor emeritus of Israel Studies at Brandeis University in Boston, called Saturday’s attack a “pogrom” — an organized massacre of a particular ethnic group, often applied to attacks on Jewish people throughout history. When he saw Rotem in the hospital, the boy was covered in soot from smoke that penetrated his hiding place in the home’s laundry room.
