Standing Room Only for Holocaust Memorial Lecture

Cohen Center director Henry F. Knight formally announced new name of The Cohen Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies during his introduction of Gerda Weismann Klein, this year’s featured speaker at the center’s annual Holocaust Memorial Lecture on September 21. The center will now offer an annual lecture on genocide awareness and supports the only BA in Holocaust and Genocide Studies in the United States. Amanda Warman, director of Campus Safety, reported that the standing-room-only crowd that spilled out of the Mabel Brown room was the largest in that room since Angela Davis gave the Sidore lecture in the fall of 2001.
