Have you seen these displays on bulletin boards around campus? The History & Memory of the Holocaust class is honoring Yom Hashoah, which started today at sundown and continues through tomorrow, a time to reflect on and remember the Holocaust. Find one of the displays in Hirt, Preston, or Zurn, and learn more. (or visit averillearls.com/holocaust to start exploring on your own)
