At 83, Anita Ron Schorr is a grandmother of nine, a resident of Westport, and a devoted advocate for the weakest members of our society. She received an Anti-Defamation League Award for Community Leadership and is widely sought by schools and other organizations as a guest speaker. Anita has also been nominated for the 2012 Movers and Shakers, Year in Review, by the Jewish Ledger. "If someone is bullied or marginalized, she said: "Step in. Be a Hero. Don't stay silent. Speak out." This takes guts, but it is what we must do as people." University of New Haven "She was driven by a relentless need to survive so that she could share her story and ensure that the nightmare of prejudice and violence would never happen again."
