PETER IVAN "ROZI" ROSENBERG

Holocaust Survivor, Mensch Born to Lenke Lilly Reisz and Dr. Istvan Rosenberg on November 18, 1936, in Budapest, Hungary, and died on December 11, 2024, in Toronto, Ontario. "She saved my life," those were the last words in a conversation he had with Ans (de Hoyer), his wife of 60 years. Peter was referring to the daughter of a distant relative, who dated a German officer. Budapest in 1944, He, his mam and grandparents were pulled out of a rounding up of jews. They survived thanks to the protection of the Spanish Embassy. Peter came to Canada in 1956 as a refugee, with as his sole possession a small bag with necessities provided by the Red Cross. He is so very much missed by his wife; daughters, Aviva and Lilliane; and vizsla, Monty. Peter was more than a survivor, he believed everything was possible. Peter is remembered as a positive man, a go-getter with an easy laugh and impish humour. We are grateful to the staff of Sunnybrook Health Services, hemodialysis unit K-wing, TTC Wheel-trans, support workers and Sasha. A gathering of friends and acquaintances is planned in the spring to celebrate his memory and keep him in our hearts.
