Antisemitism still reigned in post-war Germany and Kassi suffered abuse from classmates and teachers. She finally established a new life by emigrating to Israel and becoming a citizen. Kassi devoted hours volunteering to assist those considering suiside or facing other dire crises. She is a widow and the mother of a son. Her granddaughter is named Maya.
