100-year-old Alexander Litvin, who fought with the Red Army against the Nazis, doesn‘t understand why Israeli authorities want to evict him from his home in the housing complex, where he‘s lived for the past 20 years.

“I can’t move [to a new] house at my age, I don’t know why the government decided to evict us, it’s our home,” said Litvin. He is one of 70 elderly men and women, 45 of them are Holocaust survivors and World War II veterans, who live in a residential compound in the town of Bnei Ayish in south-central Israel and scheduled to be forced out in four months.
