On Monday, November 11 at 7 p.m. in UMD's Kathryn A. Martin Library Rotunda, the Baeumler Kaplan Holocaust Commemoration Committee is sponsoring a talk to commemorate Kristallnacht (November 9-10, 1938), an event that some consider the beginning of the Holocaust.
Podbielska is a doctoral student at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University. Her dissertation, “The Memory of Rescue in Poland,” examines when, how, and why Polish Holocaust rescuers were officially designated “national heroes.”
