SUNY Alfred Professor Emeritus Otto Berliner, award-winning author of “The Cobbler of Normandy,” will be among the local Holocaust survivors to offer testimonials at today’s Yom HaShoah Commemoration in the Flynn Campus Center. The college community is encouraged to recognize the unusually “quiet” atmosphere in the Flynn Campus Center today and take a moment to listen to the names of those lost in the Holocaust during World War II, light a candle in remembrance and learn about local survivors through their personal testimonials or the “I Told You, Now You Tell the World” photographic essay now on display in the Flynn Campus Center Atrium.
Now in its 18th year and sponsored by the Holocaust Genocide Studies Project, the schedule for this day-long remembrance event is as follows:
9:30 am – Opening Ceremony and Candle Lighting in the Flynn Campus Center Atrium
10 am – 2 pm – Call of the Names of Holocaust Victims
10 am – Sam Rind, Holocaust Survivor Testimony, Flynn Campus Center Forum (3-130)
11:30 am – Otto Berliner, Holocaust Survivor Testimony, Flynn Campus Center Forum (3-130)
1 pm – Warren Heilbronner, Holocaust Survivor Testimony, Flynn Campus Center Forum (3-130)
3:30 pm – Closing Ceremony, “A Tribute to Those We Have Lost”
