Kitty Salsberg was born in Budapest, Hungary, on November 14, 1932. During the war, she and her younger sister, Ellen, were hidden with family until December 1944; they were then sent, on their own, to the Budapest ghetto. Orphaned after the war, Kitty and Ellen immigrated to Canada in 1948 through the Canadian Jewish Congress’s War Orphans Project. Kitty graduated from teachers’ college in 1954 and enjoyed a long and fulfilling career, eventually earning her master’s in education.

The Azrieli Foundation is a Canadian philanthropic organization that supports a wide range of initiatives and programs, including Holocaust remembrance and education. The goal is to convey the importance of respect, tolerance, and understanding among peoples of all faiths, religions, and backgrounds. All students are welcome.
