Melbourne Courage to Care Volunteer Holocaust Survivor Speaker Professor Henry Ekert has shared his story with many students over the years, and, accompanied by his wife Barbara, has visited St Joseph’s College on numerous occasions. The now-retired Professor Ekert went on to become a children’s cancer and haematology specialist and director of the division of medicine at the Royal Children’s Hospital. During his medical and research career, the survival rate for childhood leukaemia improved from about five per cent to almost 95 per cent, and even in retirement Professor Ekert continues to devote his time to improving the lives of children.
