Dedication

Dr. Geoffrey P. Megargee (1959-2020) was a mentor and friend of the Kupferberg Holocaust Center for many years. His status as one of world’s leading Holocaust and World War II historians never prevented him from taking the time to support small organizations such as ours, including generously sharing his extensive scholarship, fact-checking our exhibits, and mentoring our staff. It is for all these reasons that we humbly dedicate this exhibit to him.
