- Nili Ben-Shlomo Noam was born in Israel, where she lives today, to a "Sabra" (Israeli-born) mother and a Holocaust survivor father from Poland. She has decades of experience as an alternative medicine therapist (reflexology), integrating global clinical training, while continuing a parallel career in acting- cinema and television. She is married and the mother of 2. Her father, Jechezkel Ben Shlomo, was born in Poland to the famous Wendrovnick family of cantors. When World War II broke out, Jechezekel, only 11 years old, was taken into the ghetto of the city of Lodz and eventually to Auschwitz. He survived various "death marches" and was liberated in the Bergen Belzen concentration camp. He and one of his sisters were the only children of the family in Poland who survived, while his mother and 7 siblings (some who were married with children), perished. Nili's father came to Israel after the war in 1947, serving in the Israeli War of Independence of Israel which led to the establishment of the State of Israel. Nili feels that the best compliment you can give her is when someone comments, "You are exactly the same as your father".
