For almost 40 years
beginning in 1945, Lotta Hitschmanova (1909-1991) was the executive director of
Canada’s oldest overseas relief and development agency, the Unitarian Service
Committee of Canada (USC Canada). Well-known throughout Canada, she inspired financial
campaigns which enabled USC Canada to undertake development programs in countries
throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
John Buss’
portrait reveals the personal touch which Dr. Hitschmanova brought to USC Canada’s
programs during her regular fact-finding visits to countries such as India.
