Reclaiming your birthright

After losing much family in the Holocaust, Frank Lowy left his birthplace. He became a multi-billionaire and a philanthropist, but kept returning to Fiľakovo, a town in southern Slovakia, looking for traces of family. He restored the cemetery and, on the site of the demolished synagogue, erected a memorial to its lost Jewish community. As this community, including his father who perished in the Holocaust, had supported the town’s football team, so did he. Sir Frank Lowy has been knighted by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, and he holds the highest civilian honor of Australia and Israel, and the Gold Plaque of Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of Slovak Republic. When Slovakia apologized for the tragedy unleashed on its Jews, something in Frank relaxed.
