\u201cLast summer I had a chance to visit the National Holocaust Museum while attending a national meeting of physics teachers in Washington, D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million\u00a0 Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.\u201d\u00a0 However, additional millions of non-Jews were also persecuted and murdered.\u00a0 And I believe that an attempt to understand the Holocaust should include the other similar events in history and their underlying causes.\u00a0 Most historians indicate that there wasn\u2019t a single cause or simple explanation.\u00a0 The museum is not an answer, but a question, \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
My presentation will include pictures taken at the museum and other information I learned about the museum.\u00a0 The experience was overwhelming.\u00a0 I\u2019ll also include some of my personal beliefs about the causes and solicit ideas from the audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cNever Again Needs You NOW\u201d is a phrase the museum uses in soliciting donations.\u00a0 \u201cWhen the world is in turmoil, this Museum fights back using its most powerful tool: education. It is urgent that we teach people about the consequences of hate and antisemitism and empower them to stand up to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Gilbert Kuipers teaches physics and math at Valley City State University.\u00a0 As far as he is aware, his ancestry wouldn\u2019t have made him a target in Nazi Germany, but he is a card-carrying member of three of the organizations whose members were generally on the arrest lists.\u00a0 They wore the inverted red triangle in the concentration camps to distinguish them as political prisoners.<\/p>\n
The public is cordially invited<\/p>\n
All Lectures are at the Barnes County Historical Society Museum and held in conjunction with Valley City State University.\u00a0 They are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n
