Hilary Ostrov
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. She invites you to visit her
