Abstrakt: The article describes my long journey as a Jewish-born hidden child who was handed over to a Catholic family before the Krakow ghetto was eliminated in 1943. My father survived and I was reunited with him. We traveled to Germany in 1950 and were accepted as Canadian refugees in 1952. After an undergraduate and graduate program at McGill University, I was married in an Episcopalian/Anglican ceremony. My good fortune continued when I joined a research group at the National Research Council in the 1960s. The group worked on computer graphics and computer animation and won a Technical Academy Award for technology for the animated short Hunger/La Faim.
