Holocaust Survivor-Owned Businesses
Galloway, N.J. 鈥 鈥淧rofiles of Local Holocaust Survivor Owned Businesses in South Jersey,鈥 is an
opportunity to learn about some of the contributions of the more than 1,400 Jewish
Holocaust survivors who settled in the region after World War II.
The event will be held via Zoom at 7 p.m. April 19 and showcases part of a two-year research project coordinated by the Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center at 淫性视频.
Student George Quinn, who received a 淫性视频 Board of Trustee Fellowship for Distinguished Students, will show photographs and tell stories of some of the survivors and the businesses they owned. Quinn, of Egg Harbor Township, is a Political Science major at 淫性视频 who has been accepted to a fully funded doctoral program at Rutgers University.
Hundreds of students, under the direction of Michael Hayse, Associate Professor of Historical Studies, have researched Holocaust survivors who came to Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland counties to start new lives. The students found these Jewish settlers established more than 300 poultry farms after the war ended in 1945. When farming declined, they remained in South Jersey and started other businesses.
Others associated with the project will join Quinn during the presentation.
Two Professional Development Hours are offered by the Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust
Resource Center for educators who attend.
