Holocaust Survivor – Sid Cyngiser

On Wednesday, April 29th, we’re hosting a city-wide Holocaust Memorial Service.  I’ve gotten to know our guest speaker, Sid Cyngiser and, frankly, his stories are amazing!  You’ll want to attend this service, for sure.

A story about the service made it into the Calgary Herald this weekend, you can read the story (sans photo) here.

I was so impressed by Sid’s story, that I recently painted a portrait of this gracious friend:

  1. Thanks for hosting the Holocaust Remembrance Service and for making available Sid’s address on your church’s website. I know Sid too, from the years that I served with him on the board of the Canadian Council of Christians & Jews-Alberta Region back in the 1990s, he’s an incredibly resilient, inspirational, human being. Nice painting. Shalom.
