Armand (Nini) Dankner, born in 1926, in Czernowitz, Bukovina, was deported to the Transnistria region with his family during the war. He was assigned to forced labor, paving roads. While in Transnistria, he made a birthday present for his mother, Rozika - a Volkswagen car carved from wood. On the underside of the little car he engraved the dedication, "For Mother on your birthday 24 VII 1943".
He relates that while suffering the harsh conditions of his forced labor, he dreamed of three things: a hearty meal, boots and a car. Armand survived and immigrated to Eretz Israel (Mandatory Palestine) in 1947 with his mother and other members of his family who survived.
