Jay Alan Goldstein wrote a sympathy message

“I have had the privileged and honor of knowing Mrs. Finder for the past 15 years. She was a frequent visitor to my medical practice, and also gave a superb talk at our Shul, Congregation Berth El of Newton. She always had a warm, caring beautiful smile, and she was a true joy to be around. Although she suffered great loss, both in the Holocaust, and the loss of her daughter, she remained optimistic, happy, and loving. I will miss her greatly. Jay Goldstein, MD”

Anna Romer wrote a sympathy message

“Thanks to Rena, countless students, including my two sons heard a personal perspective on the Holocaust and the experience of being on Schindler’s List. I also worked with Rena and learned from her stories and her humility and warmth. I am so grateful to have had this privilege of knowing Rena. My heart goes out to Rena’s family. Anna Romer”
