Dear Mr. Lesser,

My son Justin met you today visiting the memorial at Temple Beth Sholom with Mrs. Rowell's class from The Meadows School. Though we are Jewish and the horrific holocaust stories are certainly not new to him, I must say he came home a bit changed today.He shared your "powerfully moving" story with us and expressed how fortunate he felt to have been able to hear you speak.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to applaud your strength and tell you how very grateful I am that you have chosen to spend these years of your life making sure no one forgets. Justin said one of your greatest fears is that the world will get amnesia. I must say that for every person you move as much as you did my son, they will make sure the world never forgets!

Wishing you health and happiness always.

Sincerely,
Adrienne Gutzwa
