Book of Memories
This Book of Memories is a tribute from the South Asian Council for Social Services to those who were lost on September 11, 2001. The South Asian community, including Indo-Caribbean communities, was one of the hardest hit. Our tribute includes profiles of forty people. The Book of Memories is a grateful celebration of their lives and legacies.

“Every time I saw my brother, whether it was early in the morning or late at night, he would be smiling. I don’t think I have ever seen my brother angry”

“Sometimes we get angry that he sacrificed his life. But I don’t think I would have liked him to run away from that sick person.”

“I loved her for her wit and intelligence”

“He was a source of inspiration to people and a truly unforgettable person. Sure, he is in Heaven”

“We will miss your laughter […]. You are always by our side”
