Rose De Liema
Rose De Liema, is a Holocaust Survivor who has an unwavering commitment to preserving the memory of the Holocaust and its victims. Rose, who is now 88, speaks to school children, and adults of all faiths and religions.
Rose grew up in Holland in a “happy, peace-loving, good Jewish family.” She married Sal De Liema in December 1942 and in her wedding photo her bridal bouquet concealed the yellow “Jood” stars she and her new husband were forced to wear. Rose and Sal spent some time in hiding before being taken to concentration camps. Rose and Sal De Liema met the Frank family (Anne1, her sister Margot, her father Otto and their mother) in August 1944 at the Westerbork transit camp. (Sal De Liema and Otto Frank were also together in Auschwitz.) The De Liemas had a lifelong friendship with Otto Frank (who died in 1980, at the age of 91). Rose and Sal De Liema (now deceased) were featured in director Jon Blair's 1996 Academy-Award winning documentary Anne Frank Remembered.
Rose (who lives in Orange County, CA) has written a manuscript, “So You Will Remember – A Mother Writes to Her Children,” detailing her experiences in the Shoah. Click here to view the entire 45 page manuscript.

1 Anne Frank died of typhus at age 15 in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in March 1945, just two weeks before the camp was liberated.
Beyond Never Again; Another Great JLI Course
“Beyond Never Again,” is a 6 week course that is at once philosophical and inspirational, gentle and probing, and above all, personally relevant.
The Holocaust forces us to grapple with the existence of evil and suffering. It challenges us to find faith and optimism in the face of devastation and despair. And it humbles us as we encounter heroes of the spirit who fought for truth and decency in the darkest of times. Join us as we explore the ways in which the Holocaust continues to affect our daily life interactions and colors what it means to live as a Jew today.
An amazing new course from the international Jewish Learning Institute, Taught by Rabbi Zalman Kantor, veteran JLI instructor.
