Speakers

Kathy Kacer

YA Author

Kathy Kacer's parents were both survivors of the Holocaust. Her mother survived by hiding during the war, while her father endured concentration camps. Growing up, their stories deeply inspired her, leading to her decision as an adult to write and share these stories with young readers, ensuring that future generations would never forget that period in history.

Born and raised in Toronto, Kacer holds a Master's degree in psychology and worked with troubled teenagers and their families for many years. However, her lifelong dream was to become a children's author. In 1998, she left full-time work to pursue this passion. Her first book, The Secret of Gabi's Dresser, is based on the true story of her mother, Gabi. Since then, Kacer has written numerous books about real people who lived through the Holocaust.
