Senator Lesser on the Passing of Rabbi Lazowski

“Rabbi Lazowski survived the Nazi occupation of Poland, carrying his mother’s wish that he live to tell the world what really happened. He spent the rest of his life answering that charge. He wrote sixteen books, spoke to untold thousands around the world, and helped make Holocaust and genocide education the law in Connecticut so that students who never met him would still learn what he survived. I am a better person for having known him, and I know I am not alone in that. Rabbi Lazowski’s life was a moral lesson for our time. My deepest condolences to Ruth, to Alan, and to the whole Lazowski family.”

-Senator Matt Lesser (D-Middletown) on the passing of Rabbi Philip Lazowski

Looney & Duff on the Passing of Rabbi Lazowski

“Rabbi Lazowski survived the unimaginable and chose to spend his life teaching the rest of us how to live. He turned what could have been hatred into forgiveness, and he leaves Connecticut better and wiser for having known him. He left an indelible mark on the State Senate as its chaplain, touching people of every faith and background at the General Assembly. We are heartbroken at his passing and feel a profound sense of loss. We extend our deepest condolences to Ruth and the entire family.”

-Senate President Martin Looney (D-New Haven) and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) on the passing of Rabbi Philip Lazowski, who served as Senate chaplain.
