No man controls the will to retain the spirit, and there is no ruling on the day of death; neither is there discharge in war, nor will wickedness save the one who practices it.

Kohelet 8:8

    Пианистка. Eleanora was a concert pianist like her mother, Vera (Bathshevela) Blufstein. Her first concerts were given at her parents' conservatory in Harbin. She continued her musical training in Tel Aviv and at the age of twelve spent a year in Holland with her mother studying German composers with Professor Borofsky. Vera and Eleanora returned to Palestine just before France fell. Ella concertized extensively in Israel, Egypt and South Africa during the war. She remembered playing Chopin's Funeral March at a benefit concert for the RAF while Rommel bombed. Neither she nor the audience fled when the air raid sirens went off. Following her mother's death, Ella and her father emigrated to the United States. She returned to Europe to compete in and win the Bolzano International Piano Competition in 1953. After touring in Italy and France, she returned to the United States where she met and married John Maxwell in 1962.
