Warschauer, Heinz, 1913-1981 : Heinz Warschauer, full-time Director of Education of Holy Blossom Temple, Toronto, between 1947 and 1976, was born and educated in Berlin, Germany. His university studies were discontinued in 1935 as a result of Nazi racial laws. In his youth, he was a leader in the German-Jewish youth movement in Berlin. He served as a youth representative on the Council of the Centralverein deutscher Staatsbuerger juedischen Glaubens, the German-Jewish anti-defamation organization. He wrote several articles published in the Berliner Tageblatt and book reviews for Der Morgen and C-V Zeitung. After a 1936 visit to Palestine he wrote some columns entitled "Juedische Jugend Baut Auf" (Jewish Youth is Building Anew) about Kibbutz life and German-Jewish immigrant youth in Palestine.

From 1936 until 1939, Heinz Warshauer taught at Judische Anlernwekstatt, a vocational school for Jewish teenagers in Frankfurt am Main. He was interned at Buchenwald, a Nazi concentration camp, following Kristallnacht ("Crystal Night") in November 1938. In 1939 he entered England as an agricultural trainee and served as superintendent of a Youth Aliyah Training Camp near Ashford, Kent. Howewer, as a refugee in Great Britain he was sent to the internment camp at Sherbrooke, Que. in 1940. Upon his release from internment in 1942 he pursued studies in modern history, M.A. and social work, B.S.W. at the University of Toronto.
