Wendy is the daughter of a Holocaust survivor

Her mother is a Founding Board member of the HHREC

She shares the story of her mother who hid her identity under a false name and false documents from the Nazis in Poland.

Wendy shares the story of her mother's journey from a Jewish six year old to a Catholic school girl who hid in the convent, and back again to become an ardent Jew. She credits her blue eyes with saving her because she didn’t look Jewish and could pass as an Aryan.

Wendy’s mother's story is also about luck and the Upstanding actions of a Priest who risked his life to do help secure proper documentation for the family. It’s a story about hope...and doing the right thing in the face of grave danger.
