In Yad Vashem the memorial to the victims of the Holocaust in Israel there is a profound section that identifies and praises Gentiles and other non Jews that heroically aided the victims during the Holocaust. I have had the pleasure of knowing Sid Lehmann a remarkable human being.. . He carried with passion his sense of justice and never tired doing battle with anyone who opposed a fair shake for everyone. Sid Lehmann an extrordinary lawyer who in his lifetime has aided and enhanced the lives of literally thousands of others in his commitment to those in Public Service. This brilliant man gaveevery ounce of his energy to insure that everyone gets a fair shake. Amazingly despite his iron clad convictions he always evidenced respect for those on the opposite side of the fence. Sid is dying and soon his physical presence will leave us but I will always treasure this wonderful man who has had a major positive influence on my life. If I had a hall of fame for people whose lives have made the world a better place this righteous Jew would be at the head of the list. I will miss Sid but I will carry all that he taught me every day of my life.
