Forsyth Tech to Host Presentation by Holocaust Survivor, Hank Brodt, on December 15 at Noon

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.
