Outcasts (40 page)

Yitzhak Livnat first came to the closing ceremony of the Students Without Boundaries program in 1997 after hearing of the program from his sister, Hedy. Since that time he has become an ardent supporter of the program and sponsors many of the students from Karpatalja. Each year, all of the participants are told what he went through when he was fourteen. He is a member of the board of directors of the Rakoczi Foundation of Canada, which is the sponsoring organization of Students Without Boundaries.

Bela Aykler and Yitzhak Livnat have both been granted the Officer's Cross of Merit from the Republic of Hungary for their outstanding business accomplishments. Neither has been acknowledged for their support of the education of Hungarian youth worldwide.

In addition to the citizenship from their adopted countries, Aykler and Livnat have requested the return of their Hungarian citizenship. Both applications have been denied.
