Meagan Blais<\/strong> and Taylor Mitchell<\/strong>, two Keene State College seniors majoring in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, spoke on \u201cStudying the Holocaust: What is at Stake?\u201d at a February meeting of the Rotary Club of Keene. It was the same presentation they gave at the first-ever Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges’ (COPLAC) Undergraduate Research Conference last October at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts.<\/p>\n

Their talk, with supporting PowerPoint presentation, focused on the lessons and insights they gained from a Holocaust Studies Travel Seminar they took in June 2010 to Holocaust-related sites in Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n

“The presentation, a finely tuned balance of knowledge and passion,” noted Holocaust and Genocide Studies Professor Paul Vincent<\/strong>, “had a powerful impact on the Rotarians.” After their talk, a representative of the Dublin School<\/a> (Dublin, NH) who was among the Rotarians, approached Meagan and Taylor to ask if they would offer their presentation at a Dublin School assembly. The students created the public presentation as part of their requirements for an independent study in Holocaust and Genocide Studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
