The couple, now in their 80s, have worked tirelessly with the Borderlines team over the past five years to help spread the message of tolerance. Said Ibi: “Wal and I decided to tell younger generations our stories to warn them about the human capacity for inhuman behaviour. Both of us feel it is important to speak to as many children as we can about prejudice and discrimination and hope they can learn from our experiences.”

Continued Ibi: “Our message is as relevant today as ever, we do not want people to give up their own strong beliefs all we have to do is to remember to respect the beliefs and rights of others.”
