Chronic Pain: Marika Ferber

Marika Ferber: The married couple in their 80s were found at the base of their Etobicoke apartment building just before 8 a.m. Tuesday, after seemingly deciding to jump to their deaths together to put an end to her chronic pain, according to The Star. Fiser and Ferber were both born in the small Croatian city of Osijek on the eve of World War II, said longtime friend and neighbour Mira Vlatkovic. They befriended each other as children in the small Jewish community, which was torn apart when the Nazis invaded and The story of Vladimir Fiser and Marika Ferber probably never would have been told had it not been for the way it ended. Friends told of a pair who bucked the odds and rode the waves of history to arrive at their nondescript apartment tower on the edge of Toronto. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
