Richard K. Lowy is an internationally acclaimed producer/creative director, known for crafting award-winning experiences that brought audiences unforgettable moments with legendary artists and thought leaders such as Van Morrison, the Doobie Brothers, Harry Connick Jr., Diana Krall, Malcolm Gladwell, William Shatner, Chris Hadfield and George Foreman. His expertise extended beyond entertainment, orchestrating world-class events like the APEC CEO Summit, with seven world leaders, twenty-one ministers of state, and two hundred CEOs.

Yet, after learning of his father’s history, Richard embarked on what would become the most profound and personal project of his life. He dedicated himself to the painful but imperative task of preserving his father’s harrowing Holocaust experiences. Immersed in the depths of this history, Richard became the driving force behind Leo’s Journey: The Story of the Mengele Twins, a documentary narrated by the incomparable EGOT-winning Christopher Plummer. The documentary can be viewed here.

Doing so led to something both extraordinary and unexpected—the reunion of his father with a long-lost campmate, reconnecting threads of history that had been severed for over fifty-six years. His journey, culminating in this book, the story of Kalman and Leopold, transcended any of his previous achievements. Richard’s career was the foundation that allowed him to honour their legacy and share this vital historical testimony with the world.

Richard has presented around the world including Cape Town, Johannesburg, Tel Aviv, Scottsdale, Seattle, Vancouver and most noteworthy the Canadian Museum for Human Rights on the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz on January 27, 2020.
