'Nobody's daughter' spoke up
Ann SZEDLECKI's
Holocaust tale
Survivor told her story until the end
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
Ann SZEDLECKI was a powerful and popular speaker for Toronto's
Holocaust Centre.
"I think you are brave for standing up in front of a bunch of
students to tell your story; it must have been hard to tell us
some of those awful memories from your past," wrote one student
from King City Secondary School.
"I don't think I would last as long as you did. Unlike me, you
never gave up," wrote another.
"It opened my eyes and informed me about something I knew little
about," a third student commented.
And a fourth wrote: "I believe that people like yourself, who
struggled during the war, should speak out and share their stories."
But SZEDLECKI, who died of cancer May 7 at 79 and was buried
on Mother's Day, had to be talked into telling her story. At
14 she was alone in Siberia, sentenced to six months of hard
labour, her brother imprisoned for supposed political crimes,
but she always said she was never in a concentration camp and
therefore really wasn't a Holocaust survivor.
"At first she was a bit reluctant to talk, especially with an
Auschwitz survivor like me," recalled Judy
COHEN, who as co-chair
of the Holocaust Centre's speaker bureau interviewed all potential
speakers four or five years ago when
SZEDLECKI was approached
to tell her story.
"I said 'Ann, you lost your family. The end result is you are
a Holocaust survivor of a different sort. It's good for people
to know there are varied experiences.'"
That accomplished,
COHEN had to then talk
SZEDLECKI out of telling
her story the way she was accustomed to: as an adventure story
of a spirited young girl.
"I think she missed the point of her own suffering," said
COHEN.
"I told her to tell them the absolute truth and put it in an
historical context, otherwise it is just a sad story. As I said
to her 'You didn't enjoy the adventure.'"
SZEDLECKI listened and became a fine speaker, someone who understood
that this kind of storytelling is more educational than cathartic.
"Her story became what it should be," said
COHEN.
But first she wrote it down over the 10 years in which she attended
Toronto author Sylvia
WARSH's creative writing classes at the
Bernard Betel Centre for Creative Living.
"My mother became a whole other person once she muttered the
words 'I am a writer,'" said her daughter, Lynda
KRAAR.
"She was a natural storyteller," said
WARSH, who helped
SZEDLECKI
produce a 200-page autobiographical manuscript. "Look at page
three, starting 'I am nobody's daughter.' It is great stuff."
Her manuscript begins as Ann
FRAJLICH is leaving the Soviet Union
after six years, leaving behind the unmarked grave of her brother
Shoel -- dead at 23 from tuberculosis contracted as a result
of being arrested for cooked-up political crimes, tortured and
imprisoned -- and leaving with only a bag of dried bread, a jar
of melted butter, a few clothes and size 12 shoes on her feet.
She is returning to her hometown of Lodz, Poland, even though
her entire family had died in the Warsaw Ghetto.
"I am nobody's daughter, nobody's sister, nobody's granddaughter,
daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt or cousin," she wrote. "My
past is all gone, it disappeared."
In 1940, her worried parents had sent her off with her brother
to the Soviet Union where they would work for one year to "wait
out, hopefully, the short war," as she wrote. They were transported
to Ridder (later renamed Leninogorsk) in western Kazakhstan,
in Siberia, about 500 kilometres from the Chinese border.
And it was true, she was a bit giddy over what she considered
to be a great adventure, excited to be going to a new place and
to be out on her own. She didn't even mind when she was put to
work painting bathhouses and enrolled in school. But after her
brother was arrested, she was thrown out of the school and ended
up hauling bricks, then later peeling potatoes and washing dishes
in a mining cafeteria.
When she took three days off work without permission to bury
her brother in the frozen spring of 1943, she was sentenced to
six months of hard labour in appalling conditions at a labour
camp. She lugged railway ties to build a new line, shovelled
snow to clear roads, cut down trees and freed logs from a frozen
river, but she was also carrying the grief of her brother's death
and her guilt that she wasn't with him when he died.
After being released she volunteered to work underground in the
mines, loading the ore into wagons. She hated it but, typically,
wrote instead about "the miracle of my survival" in which she
left the pile of ore she was sitting on to boldly ask the foreman
for a cigarette -- and just as he handed her a smoke, the pile
collapsed. "I could've been buried under tons of ore," she cheerfully
concluded.
"I can even go so far as claiming that smoking saved my life."
(The children and students to whom she later told that story
just loved it.)
"Since she was 14, my mother has been invincible," said
KRAAR.
She married soon after the war, a man who was 11 years her senior,
a concentration camp survivor with the numbers forever burned
into his forearm. Abraham
SZEDLECKI was "a wounded, traumatized
and sad guy," according to his daughter and the marriage was
never a happy one, although it lasted until her death.
The couple moved to Canada in 1953 after three years living in
Israel and both went to work in the garment district. He pressed
coats, she sewed on buttons. But it wasn't long before the boss
promoted her to bookkeeping duties in the office and even though
she'd had no experience doing books, she learned fast.
Although Abraham stayed in the factory, she left her job in 1965
when a store out on Albion Rd. became available.
"She took out a loan for $5,000 -- this little Holocaust lady
with Grade 7 education -- when all her Friends were saying don't
do it," her daughter recalled.
For years, her women's clothing store was the most successful
business in the Shoppers World Mall on Albion Rd.
KRAAR --
SZEDLECKI's
only child and travel companion on holidays -- had married and
moved to New Jersey by the time
SZEDLECKI retired in 1990.
"They were close, closer than I could imagine," said Masha
AMI,
KRAAR's best friend since they met at camp when they were 11.
"I could see they were not only mother and daughter but Friends."
The Friendship was always volatile, however, as both were strong,
talented and stubborn women who liked to do things their way.
As SZEDLECKI and her husband had long been leading separate lives
although continuing to share their Bathurst Manor area bungalow,
she threw herself into volunteer work.
She had always been involved with her Masada chapter of Hadassah-Women's
International Zionist Organization, but she began driving for
the Kosher Meals on Wheels program and serving on a committee
managing funds provided to survivors through the Jewish Material
Claims Against Germany Inc.
She kept up her writing and her talks until the last year of
her life.
Her husband, suffering from Alzheimer's, moved into a care facility,
but she stayed where she was determined to be, in her own home.
KRAAR said she kicked into overdrive, often staying for weeks
to care for her weakening mother in her home.
SZEDLECKI died in her home listening to show tunes and singer
Theodore Bikel.
And as far as
KRAAR is concerned, her mother's story isn't over.
She's writing a show about her mother's life. One song is finished,
which KRAAR, an amateur musician and publicist, performed in
a small club in New York City recently. It was part of Mamapalooza,
a celebration of mothers.

I Remember -- Peter
JENNINGS
By Peter DESBARATS,
Saturday,
August 13, 2005, Page S11
Most of the public recollections of Peter
JENNINGS have cited
his generosity, particularly when it came to other journalists.
I experienced an outstanding example of this.
It was near the end of the 1980s. I had been the journalism dean
at the University of Western Ontario since 1981. A large part
of this job, and similar positions in academia, was raising money.
Someone came up with a brilliant idea -- we would gather together
a dozen of the top Canadian journalists from home and abroad
for a public celebration of their talent. It would be truly a
"Gathering of the Giants."
From the outset it was evident that we would need the support
of the "giant of giants," Peter
JENNINGS.
Clearly, he had achieved
that status among Canadian journalists working in Canada, in
the United States and elsewhere. He was in a class by himself.
So I flew to New York to have lunch with him. This had been surprisingly
easy to arrange, despite the fact that our paths had not previously
crossed. There is a camaraderie among journalists that I had
experienced on assignment in many countries and Peter was a prime
example of this.
We enjoyed an unpretentious lunch in the ABC network's cafeteria
and chatted about mutual Friends before I made my pitch. After
a minimum of discussion he agreed to be one of our giants. The
rest soon followed: the two other Peters,
MANSBRIDGE and
GZOWSKI
the two Barbaras,
FRUM and
AMIEL;
Morley
Safer from 60 Minutes,
Lloyd ROBERSTON of CTV, Allan
FOTHERINGHAM,
Sydney
Gruson of
The
New
York Times, Jeffrey
SIMPSON of The Globe and Mail, Henry
CHAMP of CTV, Robert McNeil of
PBS and Richard
GWYN of the Toronto
Star, for a total of 13.
Months later, after a tremendous amount of work by my committee
in Toronto, we were approaching the big night at Toronto's Metro
Convention Centre. There had been a few minor bumps along the
way, but Peter
JENNINGS was still on board. By this time I had
learned to appreciate how unusual this was.
Peter gave me to understand that ABC wasn't particularly keen
on anything that highlighted his Canadian background and citizenship.
I also got the impression that his prominent role in this fundraiser
was unusual and probably would not have been undertaken for a
journalism school in the United States.
In the final weeks I began to worry about some major news event
conflicting with our gathering and taking Peter to some far-flung
but newsworthy corner of the world. He couldn't guarantee that
this wouldn't happen but simply repeated that he would make every
effort to attend.
My nightmare came true when the destruction of the Berlin Wall
in November, 1989, unleashed a whole series of European events.
I can't remember exactly which one conflicted with our gathering,
only that it was significant enough to make me almost abandon
hope. But Peter arrived on schedule in a private plane from New
York, stopping for our event in Toronto before flying immediately
that night to some European capital or other.
I watched him on the screen the following night in amazement,
not so much for his profound professionalism but for his amazing
Friendship and generosity.
But there's more. After our Oscar-type celebration of the 13
giants on the convention centre's main stage -- complete with
video highlights of their careers and mini-interviews by 13 awestruck
journalism students -- and after a lavish buffet supper ("food
from the news capitals of the world"), the entertainment consisted
of a mock newscast anchored by Peter
JENNINGS,
Lloyd
ROBERTSON
and Peter MANSBRIDGE.
The rest of the 13 were in a nearby studio
supposedly reporting from Washington, London, Moscow and other
impressive datelines.
Peter gave my script for this tomfoolery his full attention,
reading it carefully beforehand, underlining certain parts and
rehearsing under his breath. The other two anchors quickly rose
to the challenge, providing our audience with a hilarious display
of competitive news delivery as they worked shamelessly to milk
laughs from their appreciative audience.
The only restriction placed by Peter on this unique performance
was that no one in the control room would make an unauthorized
pirate tape of it. And as far as I know, no one did, because
I'm sure it would have turned up by now.
We raised about $80,000 for the journalism school that night
and I always felt that I had never thanked him properly. So thanks,
Peter. You stood for everything that was thoughtful, professional
and generous about journalism at its best.
Peter DESBARATS, a former Global television anchor, was dean
of the graduate journalism program at the University of Western
Ontario from 1981 to 1996.
