It is a big honor to bestow on a person. He was ever ready to take blame on himself and bestow praise on others. I would ask that you bestow defenses upon them to thwart his inevitable attack.
The meaning of bestow is confer or present (an honor, right, or gift).
One famous child survivor of the Holocaust was Roman Polanski - he survived the Warsaw Ghetto as a child and then avoided being caught by the Germans and killed by pretending to be a Catholic - but he never converted to Catholicism.
Some questions to ask him would be: did forgive the perpetrators? How did he feel living under a false name? And a discussion topic would be: how could have more children like him been saved?
