A Message from the NTCI Parents Mailing List: _______________________________________________
Dear NT Parents & Guardians, This morning, we had the unique and powerful opportunity for our students to meet and hear the accounts of the Holocaust from one of its few remaining survivors. Mr. Bill Glied was born in Subotica, Serbia (then Yugoslavia) before World War Two. In 1944, Mr. Glied's family was deported to the concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland where they all perished in the gas chambers or from Typhoid fever. Mr. Glied talked about the willpower and hope that enabled him to survive the Holocaust. He was liberated by the American army on April 29th, 1945. Today, Mr. Glied lives in Toronto and he is surrounded by loving friends and family, and often speaks of his experiences to elementary, high school and university students. Mr. Glied's message was of hope, tolerance, understanding, and the difference our young people can make to ensure a kind and caring world. I want to thank Mr. Hobson and the Holocaust Remembrance Club for facilitating these assemblies and tell you how proud I was of your sons and daughters who were so respectful, mature and considerate. Mr. Glied commented on how very impressed he was with North Toronto CI students. Have a wonderful weekend. Joel Gorenkoff Principal _______________________________________________ Please do not reply to this e-mail.
