Inspired by him when he was Director of the Holocaust Center in Pittsburgh and continued to work with him when I became Director and we were all part of the Association of Holocaust Organizations. Enjoyed being with him and his lovely wife and mutual friends many other times over the years. Wishing her and the family strength and health and resilience during this sad time. Most affectionately, Linda and Dennis Hurwitz
