Vilma Sindona Eichholz (1926 - July 15, 1995) was a German-born Canadian Esperantist, teacher, and vice president of the Canadian Esperanto Association. She and her husband, Rüdiger Eichholz, were responsible for the propagation of Esperanto in Canada. ==Life== Eichholz was born in 1926 in a German-controlled area of Silesia. After fleeing Silesia at the end of World War II, she met Rüdiger Eichholz in western Germany and married him. In the early 1950s, the pair emigrated to Canada. They had three children, who they raised as native Esperanto speakers. In 1979, Eichholz travelled to Sri Lanka and published a 12-page booklet about her experiences: ''Impresoj de esperantistino en Srilanko'' ("Impressions of an Esperantist in Sri Lanka") (Ontario, 1979). She was probably the first foreign Esperantist to visit the island nation. Her work there led to the birth of the Sri Lankan Esperanto movement and the Sri Lankan Esperanto Center in Nugegoda, which was founded by her student Daniel Balasingham Jesudason. In the 1990s, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, she taught Esperanto in Kaliningrad, among other places. She died of cancer on July 15, 1995〔Obituary in (Terminoteko 5a jaro 1995, n-ro 2 (12) ), p. 64.〕 in Bailieboro, Ontario. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vilma Sindona Eichholz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
