As emigrants, armed only with a piece of paper typed in Romanian, as they had to relinquish Romanian citizenship, she left Romania at the age of 10, with her mother and grandmother for Israel, Cuba, and Canada. Years later, as a doctoral student at Cornell University, she fell in love with a Fulbright scholar from South Africa, Denis Worrall, and followed him to South Africa, a land in the midst of apartheid. She shared her politician and diplomat husband’s passion for transforming the land of apartheid to full democracy. The story embodies the essence of resilience in the midst of challenging times, from the reality of being Jewish in the first half of the twentieth century and the journey to end apartheid in the land Anita made her home. Dr Anita Worrall is an internationally acclaimed educational psychologist and a specialist in children with learning difficulties. She is the founder of Pro Ed Centre and Pro Ed House School in Cape Town. During the last 40 years, she and her colleagues have helped boys and girls overcome their learning difficulties and thus to realize their potential.view less
