Randwick Ritz

45 St Pauls St, Randwick NSW 2031

Join us and share a glass of wine as we celebrate what would have been Lotte’s 100th birthday. To honour her memory, the Weiss family is hosting a screening of the film My Two Lives, which explores the remarkable story of Lotte, her survival, tenacity, and resilience, despite undergoing incredible trauma. We will also hear of the progress on the legacy projects that the family has dedicated in her honour.

Lotte Weiss was a Holocaust survivor. She never forgot the horrors of her three years of internment at Auschwitz and Birkenau. Yet it is her immense life force that propelled her through the torture and devastation that enveloped her. Her inherent integrity and morality remained steadfast. It was her capacity for goodness, kindness, forgiveness, and love which never faltered throughout the misery and beatings she endured, to give her the strength and the will to survive. This is her story interpreted by artist Thea Weiss
