A former official at the national holocaust museum will visit USI this week. WNIN’s John Gibson has a preview:
The university is welcoming Judy Cohen, the former Chief Acquisitions Curator at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Cohen’s presentation “My Dearest One: A Wife’s Final Goodbye” explores newly discovered artifacts and documents that deepen the understanding of the genocide.
They include what officials call a “one-of-a-kind letter” written at Auschwitz moments before a woman was murdered.
The presentation includes other unique archival materials that illuminate the experiences of her husband and child.
Cohen’s visit is part of the third annual Edward D. and Regina Rechnic Holocaust Series at 7 p.m. Thursday.
The presentation in the USI Performance Center is free and open to the public.
