April 14 - Socks Project On Tuesday April 14th, LJHS students went to Reliable Hosiery to volunteer sorting through socks to be given to homeless shelters. Reliable Hosiery is located on Avenue du Parc in Montreal. Reliable Hosiery is owned and operated by Herman Gruenwald, Hungarian Jew, Shoah (Holocaust) survivor, and Canadian businessman, philanthropist. Mr. Gruenwald is an accomplished author, AFTER AUSCHWITZ. One man's story. Born into privilege in Hungary, Hermann Gruenwald’s idyllic childhood came to an end in 1944 when he and his family were sent to Auschwitz. During his incarceration Gruenwald’s instinct for survival helped him live through three concentration camps. His story, "After Auschwitz", recounts his experience not only as a witness to history but as a human actor determined to make his way in whatever situation he found himself. The children had the opportunity to meet a WWII survivor; they experienced what it is like working in a factory; organizing and sorting miss-matched socks to be donated to various homeless shelters in the Laval and Montreal areas.
