FSU PROFESSOR TO
GIVE HOLOCAUST LECTURE THURSDAY
Nathan Stoltzfus, associate professor of history at Florida State
University, will be the featured speaker at Gannon University’s Holocaust
Remembrance presentation.
Stoltzfus’ lecture, titled,
“Resistance of the Heart: Intermarriage and the Rosenstrasse Protest in
Nazi Germany,” is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 25. The event
will be held in Zurn 104 and is free and open to the public.
The presentation is part of
Stoltfus’ award-wining history of a successful public protest by non-Jews
to save their Jewish spouses in Nazi Germany. Stoltzfus will examine why
Hitler gave in to these protestors and allowed Jews to survive at the
height of World War II and the Holocaust.
Gannon University is
sponsoring the presentation as part of the larger Northwestern
Pennsylvania Holocaust Remembrance Network. From March through May, the
Network will sponsor events exploring a range of Holocaust-related issues.
For more information on
Stoltzfus’ presentation or other events sponsored by the Holocaust
Remembrance Network, call ext. 7237.
