‘The Holocaust is always inside you’: Pinchas Gutter and Mariette Doduck, new Order of Canada winners, won’t stop educating

JL;DR SUMMARY Pinchas Gutter and Mariette Doduck, both Holocaust survivors, discuss their surprise and gratitude at being awarded the Order of Canada, reflecting on their lifelong dedication to Holocaust education. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
