“God seems to have forgotten me… Why hasn’t He taken me yet?” Sister Regina is 104 years old. In December 1940, when she was 19, her family was forced to leave Bulgaria. Salvador, the ship carrying Jewish refugees to Palestine, sank during a storm; Regina’s mother and brother perished. Having reached Jerusalem, the young Jewish woman converted to Christianity and became Sister Regina. Eighty-five years later, she continues her life of faith.
