A few years ago, on vacation to Budapest, a day was spent visiting the beautifully restored Dohány Street Synagogue. Particularly striking were the many plaques and markers that carried the Stern name. Loss...of family, a community and a familiar way of life., It enabled me to put into focus the memories ad burdens that must have been carried forth by survivors such as George. Yet he bore them with pride, resilience and a debonair manner. Rest in peace.

It was my great honour to interview Mr. Stern for 2 articles for the Jewish Tribune, a few years ago. As I am myself the child of Hungarian Holocaust survivours, I was touched by his sincerity and warmth as well as by deep commitment to his family and also to Jewish military veterans. I am saddened to hear of his passing and am sending my condolences to Judy and the family. Mr. Stern was a remarkable human being. He will be missed.
