Please join us for a commemoration honouring Rudolf Vrba, whose escape from Auschwitz and testimony helped alert the world to the horrors of the Holocaust and who is credited with saving the lives of over 100,000 Hungarian Jews.

The program will feature reflections on his life, legacy, and enduring impact from Dr. Robert Krell and Dr. Joseph Ragaz, and will conclude with the dedication of a memorial monument in his honour.
