Renee Leona Duering

I lost my mother, born January 7, 1921 in Cologne, Germany, to Alzheimers April 9, 2018 at 4:24 am. She was remarkably strong, courageous, forward thinking, highly intelligent, a trail blazer and Holocaust survivor of Auschwitz, Ravensbruk, three death marches, settling in Palestine after the war to see her dream of the creation of the state of Israel materialize. She is with her beloved Fritz Kramer, brother Rudy, mother Ester and father Leonhard Duering and Tante Lina now. I, her only daughter, Nomi Harper, will miss her all the days of my life. She leaves behind a legacy and blood line of grandsons: Gabriel P. Grantham born 1976, and Benjamin L. Harper born 1982; two great grandchildren: Sophie Mae and Brent Grantham. She was a remarkable woman who accomplished many triumphant accomplishments and will be missed by many who loved her.
