Flora
Memoirs of Singer, born in 1930 in Antwerp to the Mendelovits family from Romania. Her father left for the U.S. in 1938; in 1940 she, her mother, and her two younger sisters experienced the Nazi occupation. They moved to Brussels to avoid deportation and were helped by several non-Jews, especially George Ranson, who provided work for the mother and a hiding place for the family in Brussels, and Father Bruno Reynders, who arranged for Flora to be hidden in three different convents in the area, along with her sisters and eventually her mother. They survived the war and were finally reunited with their husband and father in the USA. Singer later became active in survivor groups and in teaching about the Holocaust.
ZACHOR: NOT ONLY TO REMEMBER
We could begin with "ZACHOR: NOT ONLY TO REMEMBER" is a history of how we started and progressed that includes stories of our Liberators and Survivors in World War II."

We use the lessons of the Holocaust-- when no one stood up for the Jews-- and apply it to today's victims of social injustice in our own communities. That's what we wanted to tell you.

The Righteous
'He who saves one life, it is as if he saved an entire world' The Holocaust will be forever numbered amongst the darkest of days in human civilisation. Yet even in that darkness, there were sparks of light. Many will recognise the names of Oskar Schindler, Raoul Wallenberg and Miep Gies. But there were thousands of others throughout Europe who risked their own lives to save Jews from the Nazis and their horrific campaign of obliteration that was the Holocaust. By the beginning of 2002, more than 19,000 non-Jews had been recognized as Righteous (Among the Nations) by Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem. Some were officials, some were clergy; others were citizens of countries who uni...
