CAHSS Faculty Selected for the Holocaust Education Regional Institute

Gary Gershman, J.D., Ph.D., professor in the Department of History and Political Science in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) has been accepted to participate in the Holocaust Education Regional Institute at the end of May in Durham, NC.  The title of this summer’s program is “Post-War Memory, Holocaust Memorialization and the Implications for the Present,” which is being sponsored in part by Wake Forest, Duke University and the University of North Carolina. Gershman has also attended their summer institute at Northwestern along with two separate fellowships at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC. These programs are important parts of his ongoing development of classes and programs on the Holocaust and Genocide studies, including his study travel class to Poland, Serbia and Bosnia.   David Kilroy, Ph.D., Interim Chair of the Department of History and Political Science notes “this select invitation adds to Dr. Gershman’s already strong credentials as a recognized scholar in field of genocide and holocaust studies.”
