tailors in Lyon, France (Lyon), owned a clothing shop where Ms.
Mirowski worked as a young girl. Eventually, Ms. Mirowski
managed the family business and had responsibility for family
investments until she moved to Israel after she married
Mieczyslaw (Michel) Mirowski (Dr. Mirowski).
When Dr. Mirowski, who was born in Poland, was about 14
years old, Germany invaded Poland. Dr. Mirowski lost his family
in the Holocaust. Thereafter, Dr. Mirowski moved to France,
where he met and married Ms. Mirowski. They enjoyed a long,
happy, and successful marriage.
While Dr. Mirowski was living in France, he attended medical
school. After medical school, Dr. Mirowski moved with Ms.
Mirowski to Israel where he continued his medical training and
specialized in cardiology. While living in Israel, Dr. Mirowski
developed a close relationship with Dr. Harry Heller (Dr.
Heller), who was chief of medicine at the hospital where Dr.
Mirowski trained and who became a father figure to Dr. Mirowski.
Dr. Heller suffered from ventricular fibrillation. At the
time, the only treatment available for that condition was elec-
tric shock administered by a device known as a defibrillator (so-
called external defibrillator), which, because of its large size,
was located in the hospital. Despite his condition, Dr. Heller
refused to stay constantly at the hospital close to a defibril-
lator and passed away from an episode of ventricular fibrillation
