Despite all appearances to the contrary, Hilary Ostrov is old enough
to be a grandmother. She lives, quite happily, with her cat, in a suburb of
Vancouver,
British Columbia.
A graduate of the University of Western Ontario, more years ago
than she cares to remember, Ms. Ostrov, a former social services
administrator, now enjoys a career as a computer
educator/consultant. She is also an occasionally published (but
often not)
writer.
Although born in the United Kingdom, Ms. Ostrov is proudly
Canadian - and equally proud of her Jewish roots.
Her life has always been informed by a strong appreciation for the
privileges and responsibilities of living in a democratic society - and by an
acute awareness of the reality of the Holocaust and its anti-semitic
antecedents.
As to why Ms. Ostrov has become involved with Nizkor:
She believes that the voices of the Shoah Deniers cannot be
silenced - nor should they be. But, while their words fall on many
incredulous ears, time has taken its toll on humanity's conscious
knowledge of the Holocaust. There is a chasm - into which the
deniers, masquerading as self-proclaimed voices of reason,
scholarship and doubt, plant their seemingly endless supply of seeds
of vitriolic malice. The myths which the deniers propagate must be
countered by facts.
