This thought-provoking presentation brings Holocaust education closer to home by exploring the stories of North Carolinians whose lives intersected with events in N**i Germany from 1933 to 1945. Attendees will learn about the barriers created by American laws and customs, the courage and resilience of Holocaust survivor Gizella Gross Abramson, and the journeys of the Gilde and Marx families as they sought refuge in the United States.
The presentation will also highlight the creation of the Gilde-Marx Holocaust and Genocide Studies Collection at the Catawba Valley Community College Library.
This event is part of R-CCC's Americans and the Holocaust exhibition programming and is free and open to the public.
