From a nearby village her marriage to Shimshon was arranged by a matchmaker, her parents agreed to it because of Shimshon's fame and she was getting old, about 20 at the time. She treated the girls as her own and never made them feel like they were not her own children. She then gave birth to Avram, born a dwarf, Freida, a dwarf, Sarah, of average height, Micki, a dwarf, Leah, average size, Elizabeth, a dwarf, Arie, of average size, and the Piroska also known as Pearla a dwarf. When Pearla was born her umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck, the midwife refused to give the newborn to her mother. Batia insisted and pryed Pearla mouth open, Pearla blames this incident for her large mouth, and she began to breath saving the babies life. Batia gave her family one piece of advise that would stay with them for the rest of their lives, and thatultimatly saved their lives. S
