Her book Destined to Live: One Woman's War, Life, Loves Remembered is a memoir of her account of her experience of the Holocaust.
In 1967, she gave evidence in a trial in Bremen of Friedrich Hildebrand, the man who had killed her father and brother.
In May 2005, when Germany opened the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin, Wolanski was chosen to speak on behalf of the six million dead.
In her speech she noted that although the Holocaust had taken everything she valued, it had also taught her that hatred and discrimination are doomed to fail.
[2] Wolanski supported Sydney-based programs promoting intercultural understanding, including Courage to Care, which teaches schoolchildren to avoid discrimination, and Together for Humanity, a multi-faith charity which encourages inter-faith tolerance and understanding among schoolchildren.
