With sadness, we say goodbye to Eva Olsson, an extraordinary Holocaust survivor whose courage, wisdom, and kindness touched countless lives.

Over the years, Eva shared her powerful story with educators at GETCA, reminding us of the importance of compassion, standing up against hatred, and never forgetting the lessons of history. Her words inspired thousands of teachers, who in turn carried those lessons into their classrooms and communities.

Eva's legacy will live on through the people she inspired and the lives she changed. We are grateful for the time she spent with us and for the wisdom she so generously shared.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Thank you, Eva. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. ❤️
