Rene Pozniak
Team Leader, Youth Delegation

Rene has worked as a Jewish Studies teacher, primarily with Matric students, for 23 years at King David Linksfield Highschool. She went on a course of the Holocaust and Anti-semitism at Yad Vashem, and became totally immersed in these two subjects. After attending several courses after this, she went on the MOTL in 1994 as a participant. The experience totally altered the course of her life, and lead to a passion to ensure that this opportunity become a permanent fixture on the South African Jewish calendar. She is now involved in the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre as an education specialist.
