Rose Lipszyc, C.M.
Thornhill, Ontario

Despite the atrocities she faced, Holocaust survivor Rose Lipszyc has been a voice for hope. She has actively volunteered as a speaker with the Sarah and Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre for over a decade. Lauded for her ability to engage her mostly young audiences in thought-provoking dialogues, she inspires them to defy racism and oppression, and to become agents of social change. Ever the educator, she pursues multiple speaking engagements each year, and was a main contributor to the HISTORY Channel’s documentary “Cheating Hitler: Surviving the Holocaust.”
