Forsyth
Tech will host a presentation by Holocaust survivor, Hank Brodt of High Point, on Monday, December 15 at noon. The location of Mr.
Brodt’s presentation has been moved to the Auditorium on Forsyth Tech’s West
Campus, 1300 Bolton Street in Winston-Salem, to accommodate the expected crowd,
including nearly 200 students from the Winston-Salem Forsyth County School
System.
Mr. Brodt will share the
inspiring story of how his life was forever changed in “The Holocaust: A
Survivor’s Story,” after having spent time in five different Nazi
concentration camps during World War II.
This presentation is free
and open to the public. The media is invited to attend.
This presentation is being made possible
through support from Guy Blynn who established The Blynn Holocaust Collection
at Forsyth Tech’s Library on Main Campus, which contains a repository of materials
intended to help raise awareness of the Holocaust and its consequences.
Forsyth Tech has been a leader among community
colleges in Holocaust education, offering a course each semester on the topic
within its Humanities curriculum and presenting occasional speakers and
exhibits that are open to students as well as the general public.
Forsyth Tech provides students
with flexible educational pathways to a competitive workforce for the community
and global economy. The college offers associate degrees, diplomas, and
certificates in more than 200 programs of study, including programs that
promote personal and professional development through non-credit courses and
seminars, as well as customized training for business and industry. Forsyth
Tech is the fifth largest community college in North Carolina and serves more
than 35,000 students with approximately 1,500 full and part-time faculty and
staff.
