Lessons From The Holocaust: A New Generation Speaks Truth To Power at Nassau Community College in Garden City, Nassau County, Long Island, New York.
Nassau Community College and the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) present a conference, "Lessons from the Holocaust: A New Generation Speaks Truth to Power."
The keynote speaker at the conference is Dr. Mitchell Schwarzer, who will talk about "Across the Abyss: Piecing Together My Father's Holocaust Story." Dr. Schwarzer is an architectural historian at California College of the Arts. His address will be about an new invaluable contribution to Holocaust Literature, the diary of 17-year old Renia Spiegel, the close companion of Dr. Schwarzer's father. The journal chronicles their romance against the harsh backdrop of life in Nazi-occupied Poland. Dr. Schwarzer will discuss the impact of their story on his father and family.
There will also be a professional workshop on "The Fragility of Democracy: Then and Now," facilitated by Kevin Feinberg, Senior Program Director at Facing History and Ourselves. Helen Turner, HMTC's Director of Youth Education, will take part in a panel on "The Lessons We Learned: Responsibility, Resistance and Respect."
