Alma Drucker escaped from Austria as a teen on her own, her family joining her later. In the States, she preserved much of the best of the Europe she fled. Genteel, well-read and classically cultured, opera was her life-long passion. Devoted to family and friends, she never forgot their important days, and respected their lives’ choices, regardless how different they were from her own.
Israel and her synagogue were at the center of her life. After her son made aliya, she visited his family annually. Remarkable in today’s world, she thought only rarely about her needs, and took care of her husband during a difficult, extended illness.
ATZUM’s Alma Drucker Free Loan Fund helps continue her devotion to sustain a kinder, more gentle, caring society.
