Bearing Witness: A Legacy of Survival and Hope

The daughter of Holocaust Survivors, speaker Bobbi Markowitz's mother was liberated from Auschwitz Concentration Camp and her Father from Dachau. This is the story of their journeys from Eastern Europe to Nazi Germany, their overwhelming losses, and miraculous survivals. Their fortitude, resilience and patience led them to ultimately settle in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. (where the speaker was born)
