One of Lemkin House’s most fervent supporters died one year ago this month. I miss her everyday.  Beyond financial donations, she was in charge of churning out all the tax acknowledgement letters. She kept the mailing list up to date. She helped stuff envelopes. When times were rough, she cheered me up. She cared very deeply about all the people Lemkin House serves and wanted to be kept up on all the news about them.

She had a special place in her heart for Lemkin House because she knew similar places in London back in the days when Jews were fleeing Hitler. Her uncle stayed in such a house there.
