Hear her voice again
"That voice was part of my growing up in Elmira, Ontario. I first learnt anything about the Third World from her."
Who can forget Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova’s distinctive Czech accent (and her unique uniform and cap) during those TV and radio ads in the 50s, 60s and 70s?
For many Canadians, USC’s address – 56 Sparks Street, Ottawa 4 – became the most recognizable address in the country. To hear her voice again in one of her public service announcements (PSAs), or in the film made about her life, please click on one of the following:
- Watch the new TV PSA (2009).
- Watch one of her old TV PSAs.
- Listen to one of her old radio PSAs.
- Learn about her in the 1989 documentary, “Soldier of Peace.”
