Aside from being one of the most eminent scholars of the Holocaust, Henry was a great friend. I will remember him for his many kindnesses, professional integrity and sparkling wit.

Henry was an incredible person, a wonderful warm friend, a good person. May his memory be a blessing. My condolences to his family and especially to his children whom he loved so much and would tell me about in our long conversations about his life and hopes.

Just a member of the public who admired his work, which was always suffused with such deep compassion. He leaves a wonderful scholarly legacy that future generations of historians will find invaluable. Rest in peace.

I am proud to have known my Uncle Henry Friedlander. He helped create, nurture and raise my cousins Benjamin, Robert and Ruth. I was only around him briefly during my life, but he did leave good memory. He is/was my only direct connection to the holocaust which helped me to survive as being a Jew. Thank you Uncle Henry for being a survivor and may you rest in peace.
