Baruch dayan emet. May his memory be a blessing.
I was lucky enough to meet him in 2017 at the re-dedication ceremony, after one of the glass panels was smashed by a vandal. We need to keep the memories alive, even as we lose more and more of the survivors’ generation. Baruch dayan haemet.
A true hero of Newton and all of Greater Boston!
May God comfort his family and his memory be a blessing to all.
He was a wonderful man, an example for every one of us. He told his inspiring story in an incredibly powerful book, From Broken Glass, which like Mr. Ross, I will never forget.
It is all of our jobs to keep Mr. Ross’ experience alive and pass it down to our children. May his memory be a blessing to his family.
