THEY DIDN’T KNOW WE WERE SEEDS

Bill Glied: 1930-2018 Bill participated in extensive education through Holocaust Memorial Services and the March of the Living. I was able to meet with him in Saskatoon when he came to speak in 2017. He was a very gentle person, adamant about the need to educate, remember and honour the memories of those lost in the Holocaust. He tells those bearing witness at Auschwitz to Birkenau during the March of the Living, that they are the memorials for those who have no monuments. Bill passed in 2018. I am grateful to have had the good fortune to meet him and paint his portrait.
