Remembering Community Leader Nesse Godin, z"l
Nesse Godin, a Holocaust survivor who dedicated her life to sharing her story, passed away on March 5th, leaving a profound void in our community. Surviving thanks to the protection of women who perished in the same concentration camp, Nesse made a solemn vow to ensure the world never forgot the atrocities of the Holocaust. An active member of various community organizations, including Federation, she embodied hope and spirit and left a lasting impact on all who knew her. May her legacy and memory be for a blessing.
