I encourage you to take just a minute to read this extraordinary obituary written by her family. They explain how Lee Russell's experience fleeing her home to escape Nazis, then witnessing the rise of fascism across Europe, inspired her commitment civic engagement.

In particular, this passage:

It reads: By the time she was in her middle-teens, Lee had witnessed fascist takeovers in Italy, Spain and finally in her own Austria. She watched as these states were taken over by totalitarian regimes. This led to a deep appreciation of the United States' constitutional democracy, and a lifelong dedication to being civically informed and actively involved.
