Vladimir Munk

Vladimir was a remarkable person with a remarkable story. My husband Charles and I were honored to have met him. I hope you are flooded with happy, wonderful memories of him to bring you some comfort.
Paul, Alice, David and Henry are in our hearts, especially, at this time.

I watched the movie about his return to Auschwitz . His professional achievements amazed me. His son Paul is a friend who has broad interests and achievements and looks like a younger version of his Father!

All are invited to celebrate Vladimir's life at a memorial service to be held on Sunday, October 29, at 2pm Eastern, at Temple Beth Israel in Plattsburgh. A reception will follow.

My grandfather seemed larger than life to so many. He was a renowned scientist, educator and community leader. But I will always remember his joy the first time he made his great grandson smile.

Something interesting Vladimir said recently - "after working my whole career in science, if I'm known for anything in my life, it's probably going to be for being a Holocaust survivor. "
Educating others so that another Holocaust never happens is not a bad legacy, I'd say.
