IN TRIBUTE TO EMMA LAZAROFF-SCHAVER

"EMMA LAZAROFF-SCHAVER DAY"

STATE. OF MICHIGAN

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, 1985

Emma Lazaroff-Schaver is a distinguished concert singer, a dedicated artist and an internationally
known humanitarian, who has devoted her life to the service of the Jewish people throughout the
world, particularly in Israel and the United States.

Emma Lazaroff-Schaver has successfully harmonized her two chief interests — a love of mankind
and a love of music. She has been a distinguished operatic concert performer and guest soloist
with major symphony orchestras throughout the world. Through her encouragement of young
musicians, artists and writers, for whom she endowed scholarships, she has enriched the cultural life
of many communities both here and abroad.

Emma was one of forty Je'wish activists who founded the Harry S. Truman Center for the
Advancement of Peace in Jerusalem. She was presented the Eleanor Roosevelt Humanities Award
by the late Golda Meir.

EMMA! One picture forever engraved in the communal memory of American Jewry are the
photographs we all saw of yourself in U.S. Army uniform bringing the first rays of sunshine, comfort
and hope to the tens of thousands of our brothers and sisters who had survived the concentration
camps. In your mission to the DP camps at the end of World War II, the Military called you
"Entertainer," but to the survivors, you were an angel, an unreal messenger from the new world,
the world of hope, peace, freedom and rebuilt lives.

EMMA! We would fill all the pages of this newspaper if we were to try to enumerate the buildings
you have built, the schools you have established, the children you have helped and the untold
humanitarian, musical, cultural, educational, literary, medical and religious institutions that you
have supported throughout the length and breadth of Israel and here in the United States.

In the world of benevolence and good deeds to mankind and to Jewry, one stands alone . .
EMMA LAZAROFF-SCHAVER.
