They immigrated to pre-state Israel in 1946, and after a stay at the Atlit camp, Zipora enrolled at an agricultural school together with other young Holocaust survivors. In 1948, following Israel's declaration of independence, she enlisted in the army. Zipora married Avraham Granat, and they have three children. She studied teaching, and has been an educator in Haifa for thirty years.
