This year, we heard from Hannah Steynen, child of Bart Rijpstra and Wytske Keverkamp who were named Righteous Among the Nations for putting their lives at risk to protect European Jews in Nazi-occupied Netherlands.


The talk was led by Ottawa's Dr. Hartley Stern, whose family survived the Shoah by hiding with a family in the Netherlands.


In addition, we were joined by six Holocaust survivors who lead the candle-lighting ceremony.
