Jessica Manni, editor of the Setonian, the campus student newspaper, is attending on a full scholarship under the College Editors and Staff Scholarship Program provided by the Center for the Study of Jewish Heroism.
The March of Remembrance and Hope is organized by March of the Living International and sponsored by the Center for the Study of Jewish Heroism. For the past decade, the March of the Living has been one of the leading organizations in teaching the Holocaust and the dangers of racism to Jewish youth. The March of Remembrance and Hope is a new educational initiative that will bring together hundreds of college students of religious and ethnic backgrounds from around the world to better understand the causes of the Holocaust and the violent effects of racism and ethnic hatred.
Students will visit actual sites of the Holocaust where Nazis committed crimes against society and attend a half-day seminar to better understand the loss of the once thriving Jewish community in the area. They will travel on buses with a leader, a survivor from the Holocaust and a Righteous Gentile (a non-Jew who helped save Jews during the Holocaust).
All members of the media are invited to attend the activities listed above. For more information, please contact Noele Creamer, Staff Writer at 724-830-1069.
