The story of Cilla Rotblat presented by her Granddaughter, Dalya Wittenberg
Dalya Wittenberg
A post-graduate of languages and International Studies, Dalya works as a Civil Servant in the Department of Health & Social Care’s Global Health Group. She is also the creator of the blog and podcast ‘A Fine Balance: Work-Life Balance Confessions’, about how people juggle their work with everything else in life.
Dalya began sharing the story of her grandmother, Cilla Rotblat, following a visit to Poland. Being there in person had a profound impact and instilled in Dalya a responsibility to preserve the memory of her grandmother’s journey of survival. Though her grandmother would make light of her suffering, to Dalya her story was both remarkable and heroic.
Dalya recognises the importance of maintaining a human connection to Holocaust education so it can be applied to the modern day. In sharing her grandmother’s story, Dalya hopes to inspire other grandchildren to connect with their grandparents’ history, especially while they are still alive to answer questions.
