“Dear Sandy, Thank you for your wonderful presentation today at Facing History. It was a pleasure to meet you, and I am grateful to be able to learn from you. I have created the first 60 pages of my father’s survival story, with photos. I’d be delighted to send it to you for your opinions. Once again, thank you for your teaching and for sharing your experience with us.” - Fern Remedi-Brown, Program Coordinator, Office of Fellowship Training, Children’s Hospital, Boston, and Second Generation
“Sandy, It was a true privilege to hear your presentation this morning at Facing History and Ourselves in Brookline. It was a profound pleasure to meet and speak with you afterwards, and although brief, I feel making this connection has started my creative wheels turning and hopefully will soon give birth to a presentation of my own. You are so fortunate to have the video footage of your dad sharing his testimony and memories. I was so moved to hear from his very lips the personal account of what he endured and his triumph of survival and subsequent victory in beginning anew in America. I have no video testimonial. I do, however, have deeply ingrained stories and countless photos of my father’s survival in the overcrowded yet openhearted city of Shanghai, China that I am anxious to share once I have the words and the flow of an organized presentation. I deeply appreciate your words of encouragement and I can only hope that someday I might be as eloquent and passionate a speaker to bring my father’s story to life and be the living tribute he so richly deserves.” Fondly, Debra Butansky, Second Generation
