Ex-hostage Aviva Siegel was held for nearly two months after being captured by Hamas terrorists in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that shocked and horrified the world.

Siegel sat down with Christian Post reporter Samantha Kamman to tell her harrowing story of being captured along with her husband, Keith, from their home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza in southern Israel and experiencing the unimaginable.

"I remember not only thinking that I might die or Keith might die, but I was scared to look at him, just scared to look at his chest going up and down and then maybe see death," she said while describing the horror.
