When the Germans invaded Austria, she had to stop attending school. Though her extended family recommended emigrating, the Teper family ignored their advice. Rita witnessed Kristallnacht; her parents were arrested. The family was left homeless and they walked from Cologne, Germany through the woods into Belgium; they barely made it to the boat which brought them to America in 1940. Among many other roles, Rita enjoyed years of service as a staff person and volunteer for JFS Orange. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d732b1fa9d5e65e7fbd75a/7362ba09-08d1-4e35-b981-b13ea8af50df/Tibor+and+Kelleigh-110+%281%29+copy.jpg Home - Tibor Spitz Tibor Spitz was born in Slovakia in a small village in 1929. At ten years old, he was kicked out of school and had to wear a yellow star. Two years later, deportations started; Jewish children were isolated. His father was a clergy exclusively in charge of Jewish burials; Tibor and his brother were busy digging graves. There, they survived until 1944, when the Germans took over Slovakia. The family ran to the forest and hid in a hole in the snow; they miraculously survived 200 days. Later, Tibor became a Ph. D. Engineer specializing in glass. He was sent to Cuba as a glass expert, and then went to Canada and ultimately the U.S. Tibor married in 1967. After working 44 years as a glass scientist in technologies, Tibor became a prolific artist displaying his work in many exhibits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d732b1fa9d5e65e7fbd75a/8778c150-ba0e-4dbd-bc0f-30b0e8162d6e/Friede.jpg Home - Freide Gorewitz Freide Gorewitz, nee Heller, was born in Romania. At four and a half, she fled to Belgium with her family. As a young person, she was part of the Belgium resistance and responsible for saving at least 18 children. She also secured and distributed ration cards to people in hiding. FreIde met a GI around the time of liberation. She came to the U.S. as a war bride. She worked for the American Jewish Congress. She did some professional singing; she and her husband were very involved in the art world. They were founding members of Temple Beth Shalom in New City. Freide is the proud mother of three, grandmother of four and great grandmother of two. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d732b1fa9d5e65e7fbd75a/064bd68f-0655-4605-9e9e-4cac712bd7eb/Tommy.jpg Home - Tommy Wald Tommy Wald was born in 1941 while in hiding; at the time, the family was living in a shed on a family’s farm in France. As an infant, his mother hid him in a drawer, in the hopes his life would be spared if the rest of the family was found. When the Nazis came, little Tommy cried, and wound up saving his parent’s life. Later, they were taken to a Labor Camp. His father joined the resistance and came to America in 1951. Tommy did not know of his Jewish identity until they came to the U.S. He was married and had a daughter and granddaughter. Sadly, Tommy left us too soon. He passed away on April 16, 2019, three weeks before the concert. May his memory be a blessing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d732b1fa9d5e65e7fbd75a/082014cf-2a7e-4495-9cbe-f792b682659e/SoS+Music+Group-6131-2.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d732b1fa9d5e65e7fbd75a/908c6a1f-ac60-4f2e-86f4-178f9d668d10/16-holocaust2.jpg Home -
