Two Who Survived.
Aug 19, 2021 12:00 PM
Two Who Survived chronicles the true story of two children from different worlds: a city boy and a country girl. When the persecution of Jews began in the late 1930s, both were plucked from their homes and thrust into concentration camps. They were stripped of everything and forced to navigate a truly incomprehensible, volatile, dangerous and unpredictable world. Despite their exposure to the horrors of the Holocaust, they endured and carried on with a determination that shaped them forever. Follow the lives of Max and Rose as they learned to adapt to a reality beyond belief and emerged stronger than ever. When they were finally liberated from their concentration camps, they navigated a new world individually before finding each other to form what each so tragically lost: a family. Max Schindler (1929-2017) From Cottbus, Germany, Max and his family were deported to Poland and sent to a forced labor group in 1942. Over a three year period, Max was sent to six concentration camps. Despite these horrible beginnings, Max and Rose found each other and have been engaged in Holocaust activities for much of their lives. They are members of the ’45 Aide Society and involved in The Butterfly Project, whose mission is to educate students about the Holocaust. Rose has also been the president of the New Life Club, a local San Diego organization of Holocaust survivors. They have been interviewed extensively by the news media and their video testimonies are included at the USC Shoah Foundation Institute – the organization founded by Steven Spielberg. Max and Rose have earned many awards as well. They were honored to receive the Jewish Heritage Month Local Heroes Award from KPBS television in 2016. Rose was named one of the Cool Women of 2015 by the San Diego Girl Scouts, as well as a Woman of Valor during the 24th Annual Lipinsky Family Jewish Arts Festival. She was awarded an honorary high school diploma from La Jolla Country Day School in 2018, and awarded an honorary Master of Business Administration by the California International Business University in May 2019. A sought-after speaker, Rose continues to recount her story regularly at schools and events. About the Writer M. Lee Connolly is a wife and mother of three grown children who she hopes will be an agent for change in the world. Mrs. Connolly is a lifelong learner who spent over 30 years working as an Occupational Therapist serving the elderly. Her lifelong passion of learning people’s “story” came full circle when she met Max and Rose Schindler. Lee met the pair when they were guest speakers at her daughter’s English class in Southern California, where the 10th graders were studying the Holocaust. The Schindler’s presentation moved Lee to write this book for the world to hear. This began a 3-year process to bring this book to you. May it touch you as it touched her. More information on her Rose’s story and the book can be found at https://twowhosurvived.com/ or on her YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChEfb4XTHNwpP8XwI2MH29Q. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the meeting for $20.

Rotarian from E-Club San Diego Global, speaking about her experience as a Peace Corps volunteer
Nov 18, 2021 12:00 PM
Bio: Maureen Venti Duncan After college I made the best choice of my life: I joined the Peace Corps. I was sent to Brazil which became a country I have stayed connected to throughout my life. I spent my 20s in Oakland teaching special education and unwed mothers. My 30s were spent raising my children and changing careers, writing computer-based children’s reading programs, which was a revolutionary idea for the times 1980’s. During my 40s and 50s: I became a systems analyst, working with government agencies – health and human services, probation, and the courts. But I made a u turn and came back to teaching, this time, teaching vocational programs: computer information systems and business and managing welfare to work grants with Peralta Community College in the SF Bay Area I moved to San Diego in my 60s to help one of my sons start his own business and shortly after arriving, joined a local Rotary Club. A Rotary opportunity came up to get a GUTS (Grant for University Teachers Scholarship) and I found myself back in Brazil but this time in the Amazon. Then Rotary gave me another “gift, an invitation to be a Cadre for Central and South America. Cadres do evaluations on large Rotary grants, over $100,000. I have been on over 15 evaluation projects in Honduras, Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia. I have enjoyed all the evaluation excursions but fell in love with the students at one vocational high school in Guatemala. I vowed to create my own District grant, helping 16 of them start their own businesses while finishing high school. It was a great success, but Covid hit, and it has been a struggle to keep them in school, 15 of them did graduate and I was able to support, through District grants and friends ‘donations, five of these students to further their education at the college level, albeit on-line. We, they, struggle and overcome obstacles every day; the pandemic and economy is still a disaster in Guatemala |
