Lantner, who left Poland before the war and studied in France. Adela married Dr. Mordechai (Marek and Markus) Hilzenrad (later Bar Eli, 1906-1971) who was born in Kolomea, Poland. Mordechai had two brothers, Benjamin, who left Poland for Israel before the war and “Salek” who was never seen again after the war.

In 1945, Adela, Mordechai, and Joseph left Drohobych for Bytom, Poland where they stayed for a few months before illegally traveling to Leipheim, Germany where the UNRRA (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration) had a large refugee camp. They left Leipheim in 1947 for France and boarded the SS Providence. In July 1947 they arrived in Haifa, Israel and settled in Tivon, a small community near Haifa.
