About Our Speaker: Wanda Albinska
Holocaust Survivor Wanda Albinska has recently produced 'Nobody Told Me’. The film is a short twenty-seven minute documentary that tells the story of her mother, Dr. Halina Rotstein, a dedicated doctor, who graduated from the University of Warsaw’s Medical Faculty in 1930, left medicine for a few years to bring up four children after marrying a wealthy Polish-Jewish industrialist, before being drawn back into medicine by the urgency of the Second World War.
The documentary tells us how Halina’s children escaped the ghetto they were forced into and how her friends, fellow doctors, risked their lives and those of their families to hide the children on the Aryan side. The film also delves into what made Halina stay behind in the ghetto. It explains what she was doing, what her responsibilities were, at the Stawki Street hospital, right by the main deportation site, the Umschlagplatz, during the terrible weeks of the Great Deportation.

About the Organization: Adopt-A-Safta
Adopt-A-Safta is a nonprofit initiative that honors Holocaust memory & pairs young adults with lonely elderly, having a special focus on Survivors of the Shoah. Working off of the Big Brother/Big Sister model, our young volunteers "adopt" a grandmother or grandfather in Israel (and soon globally) that is in need of love and attention. Our goal is to train as many volunteers as possible and to connect these two communities; young adults seeking to make meaningful contributions, and the Survivors in need of warmth and connection, while we still are blessed with the presence of this holy generation. www.AdoptASafta.com
The Problem: 50,000+ lonely Holocaust Survivors in Israel.
Even one hungry or lonely Holocaust Survivor on Passover eve is a failure for the State of Israel. The next generation will never forgive us if we fail to care for the older generation with the respect it deserves.
At Adopt-A-Safta we do not believe that any citizen should ever wait for the government to act on social issues of this historical importance. Survivors of the Shoah are an invaluable treasure and they deserve for us to make any effort possible to alleviate their suffering.
We see no need to wait another day - too much is lost waiting for others to act, waiting for permission, waiting for money. We know that we can make a major dent in the problem of comforting lonely Shoah Survivors now; not to do so as a responsibility, but as a noble honor.
All volunteers will be responsible for visiting their "adopted" grandmother or grandfather every week, with regular reports on their well-being.
Those 50,000 that were lonely last year will not be alone anymore. Please join us in Adopt-A-Safta. With the war's immense on-going impact continuing to isolate our vulnerable elderly in general, you can donate to and volunteer with our good works on their behalf here: https://www.AdoptASafta.com
Adopt-A-Safta has been founded in blessed memory of Kathe Friedman (Kalya bat Feigel).
