Holocaust Remembrance Series
This May, the Catholic-Jewish Studies Program was excited to invite a new series of speakers to present the annual Holocaust Remembrance Series, in addition to our yearly visit to the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center. Kimberly Jones, a high school English teacher and co-leader of the Olga Lengyel Institute for Holocaust Studies and Human Rights (TOLI) Regional Seminar in North Carolina, delivered a talk on May 3 titled “‘But What Does This All Mean For Me?’: One Teacher’s Journey to Culturally Relevant Holocaust Education in the 21st Century” on the importance of Holocaust education for all people, regardless of background.
Later that week, Rosalie Levinson, Phyllis and Richard Duesenberg Professor of Law and a Senior Research Professor at Valparaiso Law School, spoke on her experience as the child of Holocaust survivors and the impacts of that trauma in a talk titled, “My Parents Never Spoke of It.”
