AJR mourns passing of Rudy Kennedy
“The Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Rudy Kennedy. Rudy was an inspirational campaigner who was determined that proper recognition and compensation be given to former slave labourers. His perseverance helped pave the way for the DM10 billion Foundation: Remembrance, Responsibility and Future, established by the German government and industry in 2001. Until his recent poor health he was an active member of the Umbrella Group committee of organisations representing and supporting Holocaust survivors and refugees in the UK. He will be greatly missed.” Andrew Kaufman, AJR Chairman.
