Itka Z. was easily in the top 5 most beautiful, compassionate, caring, intelligent and inspiring people I've ever met. I could write ten thousand positive words here about Itka. But please allow me to state that if Itka ever entered politics and, for example, ran and won the Presidency of the USA, she would have easily been in the list of the top 5 Presidents in history. She would have easily brought millions of people together in our nation and around the world. She had that rare power! Rest...

I am RN that met Itka at work. She was a beautiful and inspiring person. I read her book and it gave me a different perspective on life. I wish I had more time to spend with her, and ask her questions about what she endured. All who met her were blessed to do so. My condolences go out to her family.

I met Itka many years ago when I offered her a ride home from a shopping center. She was the most kind, loving and amazing person I have ever met in my entire life. It was a true blessing to know her. Any time I visited her or spoke to her I felt inspired to be a better person. Itka was a true Angel and light in this world. If everyone thought, loved and lived like Itka; this world would be heaven on earth. My condolences to Itka's family. I hope you are comforted by the loving...

I met Itka at a Hotel Lobby in Miami in 2012 and she is and was the most BEAUTIFUL SOUL I will EVER have the PRIVILAGE of KNOWING.. she was LOVED by so many....to many to count. Her wisdom, her love of humanity and Judaism will ALWAYS REMAIN MY CANDLE IN THE DARK..she is AN ANGEL and back in the World To Come now. She is and WAS a LIVING ANGEL OF LIGHT. I will be forever GRATEFUL TO HASHEM to have met her.

I'm a friend and colleague of Erland's from PMN. I wish I had known your mother and regret that I opened my email AFTER the Memorial. I shared the information about her with Malka, now almost 16. We are sad but inspired. I agree that seeing the kind of person you are sheds a lot of light on her. What were her favorite Yiddish songs? I'll find them and sing them with you...
More hugs!

Itka or Mrs. Zyg to me was a force to be reckoned with. We were neighbors for many years on Maryland Street. I am the same age as her son Erland and we went to elementary school and junior high together. Whenever she saw me she was friendly, warm, vivacious and always willing to talk. Her strength, resilience, and good nature is truly something quite extraordinary considering what she experienced during the Holocaust. My only regret is that I did not get to see her later on in life. ...

My condolences to the entire Zygmuntowicz family. Growing up in Strawberry Mansion, our families were always in contact. Itka was a wonderful, strong woman. She will be missed.

I met Mrs. Z at Fellowship Farm in the summer of 1968 - where she was one among many amazing speakers, including Dorothy Day and Cesar Chavez. I met her sons Gerry and Erland, and we remained in touch for a few years. I often wondered how the family was - and I am glad to read that she had a long life with grandchildren and great grandchildren, and that she died peacefully at home. But no matter how old we are, or how old they are, it is so hard to lose a parent, and I send heartfelt...
