Yanina Muriel Averbuch was 20 years old and served as the executive secretary of AMIA’s Social Service Department, while also studying English translation and Law at university. Her passion and meticulous approach to her studies, particularly her note-taking and summary-writing skills, were admired by her peers, who believed these were her keys to passing exams. On Sunday, July 17, she spent time with her family, who gifted her the music player she had wanted, and her brothers helped her test it. The following day, Monday, July 18, 1994, Yanina left early for the office, planning to buy some new records after work.
