About Janet:
Born Gustawa Singer in 1935 in Nowy Targ, Poland, Janet and her family enjoyed a comfortable and stable life until the Nazi invasion in 1939.
A clinical social worker, Janet will recount how at just seven years old, she witnessed her mother being transported to the death camp at Belzec, and her father being assigned to forced labor. Janet witnessed unimaginable danger and the love, courage, and dedication of a few extraordinarily righteous citizens who saved her life.
Janet feels it is her mission to spread messages of how to live one’s life, overcoming hatred with resilience, grace, dignity, love and forgiveness by sharing her personal story of survival. Janet feels strongly about letting people know the horrors she went through so that future generations will make sure it will never happen again.
Janet documented her story in her forthcoming memoir, 'Becoming Janet: Finding Myself in the Holocaust.'

Let us unite to send a clear message against hate and intolerance. Never Again!
