In 1979, Samuel sought a new life in the United States, where his exceptional skills in mathematics and economics propelled him to noteworthy achievements in finance, fashion, and healthcare. Yet, his most significant contributions transcend his professional accomplishments. Samuel has devoted himself to ensuring that the Holocaust's horrors and its lessons remain a perpetual part of our global consciousness.
As the Chairman of the Holocaust Remembrance Association (HRA) in New York, Samuel has supported thousands, cultivating bridges of understanding and connection between Ukrainian and American communities. His mentorship extends to many students from varied backgrounds, including Bill Tingln, an African American who visited historical sites like Bogdanovka and Babi-Yar, reinforcing the importance of empathy, compassion, respect, inclusion, and tolerance.
As we celebrate Samuel’s birthday today, we commemorate more than just a survivor of the Holocaust; we celebrate a life that is a paragon of justice, hope, resilience, and dignity. Happy Birthday, Samuel. Your incredible life story and unwavering commitment profoundly affirm the human spirit’s ability to surmount adversity, enlighten minds, and uplift hearts. We invite everyone to join in homage to this remarkable man whose legacy encourages us to face challenges, share knowledge, and foster positive transformation in the world."
