The program began with opening remarks from several grade 11 students, including some thoughtful quotations from well-known Holocaust survivors. Rabbi Horowitz delivered opening remarks, including a meaningful quotation from Rabbi Sacks. We then heard Mrs. Rose Lipszyc's powerful story. 

Born in Lublin, following the liquidation of the ghetto and on the way to certain death, her mother had a life-saving premonition and pushed her daughter off the train, confident someone would save her. Mrs. Lipszyc passed as a Polish Catholic with her aunt, working as a slave labourer. Students had a rich discussion with Mrs. Lipszyc following the talk, asking many thoughtful questions. The assembly concluded with a Kel Male, recited by Rabbi Horowitz.
