Nova Southeastern University recently issued the following announcement.
Ceremony Returns to In-Person Event at NSU’s Alvin Sherman Library
The poignant, powerful stories of Holocaust survivors continue to inspire us to be better to each other and open doors to lessons for the future.
For its eighth year, Nova Southeastern University (NSU) and the Holocaust Learning and Education Fund, Inc. are hosting the Holocaust Reflection Contest Student and Teachers Awards Ceremony. This important statewide contest allows middle and high school students across the Florida to study the testimonies of Holocaust survivors in an enriching way. The contest provides a creative opportunity to honor and remember the millions of victims that perished in the Holocaust.
The event, which is by invitation only, is scheduled for Sunday April 3rd from 10 a.m. – noon in NSU’s Alvin Sherman Library, 5100 Ray Ferrero Jr. Blvd., Fort Lauderdale (NSU’s Fort Lauderdale/Davie campus).
This year nearly 2,000 student submissions ranging from artwork, poetry, and film creations were received. The awards ceremony will move from virtual back to in-person. In addition, NSU is very pleased to welcome the Consuls General from Israel and Germany who will speak at the event, as well as Dr. George Hanbury, the President and CEO of NSU.
Additionally, a number of Holocaust survivors are scheduled to attend.
This is an AWESOME story and photo opportunity – every day we lose more and more Holocaust survivors, so events like this are vital to ensure this genocide doesn’t fade from the public consciousness.
