Luc Albins­ki

Luc Albins­ki is a sec­ond-gen­er­a­tion holo­caust sur­vivor whose moth­er escaped the War­saw Ghet­to in 1942 and was hid­den in an orphan­age out­side War­saw for the remain­der of the war. She mar­ried a Catholic and Luc was brought up as a Catholic, only learn­ing about his Jew­ish ori­gins in his ear­ly twen­ties. Since then, he has spent much time research­ing the fate of his Pol­ish-Jew­ish grand­moth­er, Hali­na Rot­stein, a doc­tor in the War­saw Ghet­to, who decid­ed to accom­pa­ny her patients to the Tre­blin­ka death camp. Human rights and devel­op­ment issues have been key issues of inter­est for Luc who spent time in Bosnia dur­ing and after the war and has, since 2006, led an invest­ment com­pa­ny, Van­tage Cap­i­tal, focused on invest­ing in mid-sized busi­ness­es in a dozen coun­tries in Africa as well as on pro­mot­ing the use of renew­able ener­gy in South Africa. More recent­ly, Van­tage Cap­i­tal has start­ed an edu­ca­tion busi­ness focused on Cen­tral Europe includ­ing, until recent­ly, Ukraine. Luc lives in Johan­nes­burg and is an active mem­ber of the Johan­nes­burg Holo­caust and Geno­cide Centre.
