In Fond Memory of Hannah Ziegellaub

Regrettably, Prevention Institute founding board member, Hannah Ziegellaub, 61, died May 29th, 2006 in New York City of complications from multiple sclerosis.  Born in New York City, Hannah spent much of her childhood abroad, in France, Austria, Israel, and Germany, while her father worked with Jewish relief organizations after the war.  Fluent in English, German, and French, Hannah was a consummate visual artist, an activist passionately committed to social justice, and a long-time personal friend of many at Prevention Institute.  A painting of Hannah's hangs prominently in the center of Prevention Institute's meeting space.  She was a true inspiration to us all and will be greatly missed.
