290 Days: Hostages

 

290 Days (and Counting) of Innocent Men, Women and Children – including American Citizens – being held Hostage by the Hamas Terrorists in Gaza.

Today, 2 more Hostages Yagev Buchshtab  and Alex Dancyg were confirmed to have died in Hamas Captivity.

Yagev Buchshtab (35 years old) was a Sound Technician who loved music. From a young age, he played guitar and flute, later expanding to other instruments, some of which he built himself.

Together with his Wife Rimon, Yagev , he cared for five dogs and five cats, several of which they had rescued and rehabilitated.

Yagev was abducted from his home in Kibbutz Nirim along with his Wife, Rimon Buchshtab-Kirsht, who was released after 50 days in captivity.

Alex Dancyg (76 years old) was a Historian, Educator, and Farmer.

Born to Holocaust Survivors, he became one of the Founders of Educational Delegations to Poland. Alex worked at Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum for about 30 years, where he trained thousands of Guides in Holocaust Education.

Hostages who were held captive with him reported that Alex spent his time in captivity giving History Lectures to fellow Captives.

Yesterday would have been his 76th birthday.
