Helen Meatte, her husband, and their two children moved to Jacksonville in 1987 from St. Louis, Missouri. She is a retired teacher who taught art and art history at the Bolles School. She currently volunteers with Art with a Heart at Baptist Hospital, serves as a docent at the Cummer Museum, and helps Catholic Charities set up apartments in the Jacksonville area for immigrants from all over the world. Eight years ago, while participating in a writer’s workshop, Helen began to examine her family’s Holocaust survival stories. This led her to join the LJD Jewish Family & Community Services’ Speakers Bureau, a group of speakers who meet with students, civic groups, and local businesses as part of the JFCS Resist Hate, Repair the World initiative.
