On February 10th, the Perils and Possibilities of Diversity in Education Initiative sponsored the Second Holocaust Remembrance event. This initiative was co-convened and is an on-going collaboration between the Educational Studies Department in the College of Education and Human Services and the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights (CGHR) at Rutgers University. Focused once again on the intergenerational need to 'never forget,' this session provided participants with the opportunity to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust.
Dr. James Daly of the Educational Studies Department welcomed Seton Hall University students and students from Rutgers University and two Newark high schools and teachers and administrators from the area. Addressing the group were Dr. Maureen Gillette, Dean of the College of Education and Human Services at Seton Hall; Dr. Alexander Hinton, Director of the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights and Nela Navarro (who served as the event facilitator), the Associate Director and Education Director for CGHR.
Fran and Zoe then discussed their thoughts and responses to the need for this type of inter-generational dialogue. Comments from a panel followed questions from the audience. The panel included Dr. Daly, Dr. Giuseppe Fazari of the Department of Sociology, Anthropology Social Work and Criminal Justice at Seton Hall, and Igor A. Kotler, President and Executive Director of the Museum of Human Rights, Freedom and Tolerance, in Millburn, NJ.
