We speak with Aviva Siegel, an Israeli who was kidnapped from her home in Kfar Azza on October 7th, along with her husband Keith, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen. They were taken hostage into the tunnels under Gaza, and Aviva was released during the temporary ceasefire deal in November 2023. However, over a year later, Keith remains a hostage in Gaza. In this emotional and haunting conversation, Aviva shares her chilling story of survival, recounting her experiences, fears, and determination to keep the memory of the hostages alive. Her story highlights the human cost of conflict and the importance of advocating for those held against their will. Join us as we hear Aviva's powerful and poignant account and learn how you can make a difference in bringing Keith and the other hostages home.
