It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Holocaust survivor, Rabbi Philip Lazowski, ZT’’L.

Rabbi Lazowski’s life was shaped by loss, courage, faith, and remarkable resilience. After surviving the Holocaust through a series of extraordinary events, he dedicated his life to serving others as a rabbi, educator, author, and community leader.

Family was at the heart of everything he built after the war. Alongside his beloved wife, Ruth, he created a life rooted in faith, service, and community.

For decades, he shared his testimony with students and audiences of all backgrounds, ensuring that the stories of those who were lost would not be forgotten. Through his words, wisdom, and example, he inspired countless people and helped preserve the memory of the Holocaust for future generations.

Rabbi Lazowski leaves behind an extraordinary legacy and will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him and learning from him.

May his memory be a blessing.

Matthias Sindelar’s story reminds us that not every act of resistance takes place on a battlefield.

Some are found in the choices people make, even when the consequences are uncertain.

Beyond the soccer field, Sindelar maintained relationships with Jewish friends and associates after the annexation of Austria. Historians have also noted his connection to a café that had previously belonged to a Jewish owner.

Less than a year later, he was found dead in his Vienna apartment at the age of 35. The circumstances surrounding his death remain debated to this day.

It is with sadness that we share the passing of Holocaust survivor Edith Denes on June 12, 2026.

Born in Munkacs, Hungary, Edith survived Auschwitz alongside her parents and sister, while much of her extended family was murdered in the Holocaust.

After the war, Edith and her husband George immigrated to Israel in 1948 and fought in the Haganah during Israel’s War of Independence before settling in North America.

Family, religion, and Israel brought Edith great joy throughout her life.

We are grateful that Edith entrusted us with her story and that her testimony will continue to educate future generations.

To listen to Edith’s full testimony and learn more about her life, visit ctremembers.org.

May her memory be a blessing.

“I believe firmly and profoundly that whoever listens to a witness becomes a witness, so those who hear us, those who read us must continue to bear witness for us. Until now, they’re doing it with us. At a certain point in time, they will do it for all of us.”
— Elie Wiesel

Today marks Holocaust Survivor Day.

Every person in this photograph survived one of history’s darkest chapters. The fact that they are here today is extraordinary.

The miracle of their survival, and all they accomplished afterward, is incredible. They built families, communities, and futures that many thought would never exist.

Today, we celebrate not only their survival, but their determination to rebuild, create meaningful lives, and begin again.

One of the most dangerous beliefs is thinking the Holocaust belongs only to the past. If it happened once, it can happen again.

In a place already marked by starvation, disease, and death, the tombstone shaped walls carried a chilling message before deportations even began.
