Stories from the War—Naomi Paynton

[Israeli journalist Elliot Jager conducted this interview with Nomi Paynton. A retired psychotherapist, Nomi is a gifted ceramist whose work is displayed at Shlomzion Ceramics in downtown Jerusalem.] I arrived on June 10, 1967, on a special El Al flight for war volunteers. It came from Paris, where I lived at the time. It was packed and quite frightening. We did not know what we were coming to.
