Agreed.

August 9, 2001 produced a still, little girl in a man's arms outside Sbarros on the front page of our newspaper. I keep her yet, I could not throw her away.

Since I don't know to which little girl you refer, let me honor them both:

Aug 9, 2001 - Hemda Schijveschuurder, 2, of Neria, was one of 15 people killed in a suicide bombing in the heart of Jerusalem, inside a crowded pizza restaurant.

Carrying the explosives in a guitar case, the terrorist entered the Sbarro pizzeria at the corner of King George Avenue and Jaffa Road in downtown Jerusalem just before 2 p.m. The 5 kg.-10 kg. bomb, which was packed with nails, screws, and bolts, completely gutted the restaurant, which was full of lunchtime diners.

Among the other victims were Hemda's parents, Tzira and Mordechai, her brother Yitzhak, 4, and sister Ra'aya, 14. Two other sisters were injured in the attack. They had come to spend the day in Jerusalem, to relax from the tension of frequent shootings near their home in Neria, a community in Samaria. Three older brothers who did not join the family outing identified the bodies.

Hemda in life:

Aug 9, 2001 - Yocheved Shoshan, 10, of Jerusalem, was one of 15 people killed in a suicide bombing in the heart of Jerusalem, inside a crowded pizza restaurant.

Yocheved had gone with her mother, Esther, and her sisters Rachel and Miriam, to the pizzeria and were seated on the second floor. Yocheved and Miriam had gone back downstairs to order another slice of pizza. Yocheved was killed instantly in the explosion; Miriam was seriously wounded.

Yocheved Shoshan was the great-granddaughter of Rabbi Israel Abuhatzeira, the Baba Sali, a Moroccan sage. She was buried in Jerusalem.

Yocheved in life:
