Margate, N.J. 鈥 Area Holocaust survivors and their families got a preview of the 淫性视频 Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center鈥檚 鈥淗olocaust Survivors of South Jersey Project鈥 at an intergenerational brunch hosted by the Milton & Betty Katz Jewish Community Center on June 12.
Associate Professor of History Michael Hayse said the project started in 2020 when
the Holocaust Resource Center staff realized there was not a central database to track
the Holocaust survivors of South Jersey.
鈥淎 database will be an important resource for future generations looking to learn about our local history,鈥 Hayse said.
Holocaust Center Executive Director Gail Rosenthal said the project, which will publicly launch in September, includes the work of center staff Irvin Moreno-Rodriguez and Matthew Assad along with some 300 graduate and undergraduate students at 淫性视频 who have interviewed Holocaust survivors and their families and help set up the interactive database.
The project documents the life stories of Jewish Holocaust survivors who lived in
Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland counties. The center has, to date, identified 1,474
survivors, and continues to update and expand the database.
Holocaust Center staff and students attended the event, which also gave Holocaust survivors and their families the opportunity to review their data for the database, and add new information.
鈥淲e are still hearing from people who are just learning about the project,鈥 Rosenthal said.
The brunch was co-sponsored by the Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center and the Sam Azeez Museum of Woodbine Heritage of 淫性视频 in Woodbine.
