In some ways, 55-year Ridgewood resident Frank Schott has managed to keep his story of surviving the Holocaust quiet.
He has had a long, successful career in the New York City financial district and was a Board of Education (BOE) trustee for several years. Many of his neighbors still do not know about his experience in the Holocaust.
Last Sunday night at Ridgewood’s Interfaith Holocaust Remembrance Service, as he has for the past 27 years, Schott once again paid homage to his past, lighting a candle at West Side Presbyterian Church.
