A third-generation Holocaust survivor on the UW-Stout faculty will share his family’s story in a free public presentation Wednesday evening (Jan. 26) at the university. Jacob Hellman, a lecturer in UW-Stout’s English, Philosophy and Communication Studies Department, will speak from 5 to 6 p.m. in Ballroom A of the Memorial Student Center. It will also be possible to attend virtually. Thursday is the 77th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp. It is also International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day of memorial for the six million Jews and 11 million others killed by the Nazi regime and its supporters during World War II. “My family’s story enriches UW-Stout’s story,” Hellman said. “I want to spread a message of tolerance to everyone and add to our university’s tapestry and diverse community.” To read more, and for the link to attend the program online, please click on the headline.
