I was fortunate to meet Edith alongside my students, first at Baycrest's Cafe Europa and later at her home. We are very privileged that she sat down to do an interview with us, so the world can hopefully learn from her experiences -https://www.crestwood.on.ca/ohp/grosman-edith/. Condolences to her family.
