It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of our dear friend and committed Council Representative, Uri Chanoch, z”l.
The funeral will be held today, Thursday, September 3rd, at the cemetery in Kfar Shmaryahu at 6PM.
Uri served as a Council Representative of WJRO, and as a Board member of the Good Will Foundation in Lithuania.
Uri, a survivor of the Kovno Ghetto, and of Dachau, worked tirelessly as an advocate for survivors. He dedicated his time to a long list of organizations, and fought for the restitution of private-property for Lithuanian survivors through his work with WJRO and the Good Will Foundation.
Below is a letter written by Julius Berman, President of the Claims Conference, illustrating Uir’s story and dedication.
May his memory be a blessing. We extend our deepest condolences to his family.
Abraham Biderman, Co-Chair
Gideon Taylor, Chair of Operations
Nachliel Dison, Acting Director General
