A special traveling exhibit, “Nazi Persecution of Homosexuals,” will be in the Atrium Conference Room at the Young Student Center from Jan. 4 to Feb. 9, 2010. The exhibit is from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. and is co-sponsored by several campus and community groups.
After taking power in 1933, the Nazis persecuted homosexuals as part of their so-called moral crusade to racially and culturally purify Germany. This exhibit explores the Nazi campaign against homosexuals in Germany and its important lessons for us today.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. Teachers who bring their classes can arrange for an orientation and discussion of the exhibit from the Educational Outreach Coordinator of the Cohen Center for Holocaust Studies, Thomas White.
Please contact Karen Cangialosi, 358-2578, to let us know if you’re bringing a class for a visit.
