MEET THE SPEAKERS

Nick Winton, left, is the son of the Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton MBE. Nick’s own journey is one of resilience and leadership. He earned an MBA from Imperial College and built a successful career as an Interim CEO, guiding companies through turnarounds and start-ups in London and New York. Now an international speaker, Nick shares his insights on leadership, resilience, and his father’s extraordinary legacy, engaging audiences from corporate events to schools and fundraisers. An international speaker, his audiences have ranged from corporate workshops and events, schools, community colleges, synagogues, and fundraisers.

Dr. Mordecai Paldiel, right, headed the Righteous Among the Nations Department at Yad Vashem from 1982-2007. Some of his books on rescue during the Holocaust include The Path of the Righteous, Sheltering the Jews, Saving the Jews, Diplomat Heroes of the Holocaust, and Saving One’s Own. He taught at Yeshiva University and Touro College and serves on the Board of the Sousa Mendes Foundation. Thanks to his efforts, there is now a square named for Aristides de Sousa Mendes in Jerusalem. He will explain why Yad Vashem has still failed to recognize Nicholas Winton as Righteous Among the Nations.

Melissa Hacker, who will moderate, is the Executive Director of the Kindertransport Association. She is a filmmaker whose documentary My Knees Were Jumping; Remembering the Kindertransports was short-listed for an Academy Award nomination and shown worldwide. A sought-after speaker, she has consulted on exhibits at the Center for Jewish History in New York, the Illinois Holocaust Museum and at the Vienna Jewish Museum. She is the editor of two Academy Award nominated documentary films and serves on the Governing Board of the World Federation of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Descendants.
