Student Life & Belonging
Holocaust Remembrance Assembly - Tuesday, January 27 - 9:05am
On Tuesday, January 27 we are honoured to welcome Reny Friedman to address our community as we recognize the International Day for Holocaust Remembrance. Three of our graduating students, Jessica, Alexa and Oliver W. were fortunate to meet Reny as one of their guides on the March of the Living and are grateful that she is available to share her story as they take a leadership role within this assembly.
From her biography on the March of the Living website:
Reny Friedman is a child survivor from the Netherlands. She and her twin brother were born on April 4, 1937. With the help of the underground her family went into hiding in the countryside of the Ardennes region, as well as in Brussels. In both cases they were discovered and forced to run. Her mother was deported to Auschwitz and survived. Her father placed Reny in a convent and her brother in a monastery. She spent the remainder of the war there and began to enjoy the rituals and trappings of the Catholic faith. When her father came to get her at the end of the war, he allowed her time to return to her Jewish roots. Reny made her way to Canada in 1955, where she met and married Henry Friedman, also a Holocaust Survivor. They are blessed with three children and two grandchildren.
