Lenny Kuhr, 76, moved from the Netherlands to Israel after saying farewell to the Dutch stages. She and her husband, Rob Frank, exchanged their detached house in Brabant for an apartment in Ramat Gan, near Tel Aviv, to be closer to their children and grandchildren and to seek peace after years of trouble and threats.

Kuhr said she had also considered her husband's health in making the move. She described the farewell as painful and said the mental strain had been irreplaceable.
