Doda Diya
Aunt Diya takes her nephew to an unforgettable journey to her birthplace
I've been living with my aunt (Doda) Diya for six months now and that's what she says every time I complain I'm a penniless student. Doda Diya, a widow who leads a simple life, had waited 40 years to fulfill her biggest dream; returning to Jerba, a tiny island off the south of Tunisia where she grew up, to celebrate a memorial event for a righteous woman along with hundreds of other Jews.
