Saturday (1/27/24) was International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Gratz has spent at least the last 44 years remembering the Holocaust.
Established in 1979 by Nora Levin (1916-1989), and maintained by a dedicated volunteer staff, the Holocaust Oral History Archive at Gratz College is one of the earliest Holocaust oral history projects in the U.S. documenting a wide range of experiences during the Nazi era and Jewish life in pre-Nazi Europe. Holdings include interviews with over 900 survivors, rescuers, liberators, and other witnesses to the persecution and extermination of the Nazi era.
Survivor audio transcriptions can be found here: https://hoha.digitalcollections.gratzcollege.edu/holocaust-oral-history-collection-items/

Commencement is around the corner: September 10th!
Let's learn about recent Master of Jewish Studies graduate Naomi Wittlin. ๐ฉโ๐๐
"The Gratz MAJS program opened my eyes to a wide variety of Biblical and modern texts, to historical issues in Jewish life, and to strategies for reading about and better understanding Jewish culture and religion around the world today. The discussion forums in my courses were engaging because of their depth and breadth of issues. I especially enjoyed the strong relationships I formed with professors and the new friendships I found with fellow students."

Meet recent graduate Rebecca Charhon.
She earned her M.Ed. in Jewish Instructional Education.
"Having such a strong variety of courses and extremely knowledgeable professors accessible to me were the most critical parts of my success during my studies. By taking courses directly related to the work I was already doing as an educator (such as courses on teaching Israel Education and working with Jewish adolescents), made my Masters Degree in Jewish Instructional Education even more meaningful to my life."
Congratz, Rebecca! ๐

Commencement is on September 10th! ๐ Have you met recent Gratz graduate Gigi Diller Bizar? She is the proud recipient of a master's degree in Holocaust & Genocide Studies.
"Gratz changed my life. I engaged in the most meaningful discourse about the ramifications of Genocide. I learned the history of the Holocaust in a very in-depth manner that helped me gain a much more wide-reaching understanding. I learned about things I had never thought about before and am encouraged to keep learning. I am forever grateful to my professors and colleagues for the inspiration to continue fighting for a better world."
So proud of you, Gigi! Congratz! ๐

Let's learn about recent Master of Education ๐ graduate Catherine Helen Franke. ๐ฉโ๐
"I have been inspired by what I've been learning and have incorporated many of the principles and some of the texts into my own curriculum development. Some of the courses I've taken have changed the way I do things in the classroom. Apart from this, it has been wonderful to be part of a community driven by civil rights and the belief that our youth deserve honor, respect, love, and celebration."

The countdown to our September 10th commencement is on! ๐Learn more about recent Master of Jewish Studies graduate, Irvin Krick.
"I am retired from the Army. My wife and I moved to eastern NC and keep some chickens and ducks. This is a work in progress and we are discussing whether to expand and how this should happen. I have always liked studying history and always wanted to teach history, but up until recently have needed to be educated in other fields for work. When I started learning about my family history, I discovered that I have Jewish heritage and was strongly motivated to learn about Jewish history. During this time, I recognized a lot of gaps in my knowledge and had many questions. Studying at Gratz has illuminated what I thought I knew, bringing vague events into sharp focus. The complex dynamics underlying historical events emerged for me through the well-chosen readings in the curriculum. Through this I feel much rewarded. My education at Gratz has provided me with a sturdy foundation from which to introduce Jewish history and experience to students from varied backgrounds. The school also helped me receive a scholarship (Belle & Sydney Druitt Memorial Scholarship). For anyone that would like to study Jewish history I would highly recommend Gratz College."
