Two months after her father and dozens of members of her community were murdered by Hamas, Ela Shani Kozin is channeling her grief into action.
The 14-year-old, who survived the terror organization’s attack on Kibbutz Be’eri in Israel on Oct. 7, was honored at TheWrap’s 2023 Changemakers event Monday night ahead of Tuesday’s Power Women Summit. During her speech, Kozin called for the release of the remaining 150 hostages still captive in Gaza.
“Never again is unfortunately now,” Kozin said, recounting the 11-hour-ordeal that began on the early morning of Oct. 7. The teenager, her mother, younger brother and brother’s friend hid in a safe room after being awoken by the sounds of explosions.
