Lead Memorializing

PHILIP SLOMOVITZ ED TOR EMER TUS

S

hocking examples of
an emerging prejudice,
that goes so far as to
embrace the Nazi
virus, has embraced counter
campaigns of condemnation
of every attempt to justify
bigotries. While the poison-
ous hatreds gained a mea-
sure of attention, they also
created overwhelming repu-
diation.
The rejection of the sym-
bolism of the Nazi crimes is
evidenced in the documenta-
tion of them in recent schol-
arship. Their totality and
impressiveness contain a
growing sharing in Mich-
igan schools and universities
by teachers and students.
Our state's leadership in
memorializing the Holo-
caust leads us to Northern
Michigan University in
Marquette and to the in-
spiration provided by its
head librarian, John F.
Berens. The medium for
creating and popularizing its
aims is the Lydia M. Olson
Library.
The roots for the
memorialization were
planted decades ago by
Michigan philanthropist and
Upper Peninsula Jewish
leader, Sam Cohodas. They
continued uninterrupted
and are now expanding and
supported by his nephew,
Willard Cohodas, who gives
weight to the commitment
together with his family. He
has just made public a vast
Holocaust bibliography
under the title The Holo-

caust, Olson Library, Nor-
thern Michigan University
First Edition. It is presented

to the university in honor of
Lynn Cohodas Stahl and
Nancy Cohodas Oberman,
daughters of Lois and
Willard, the sponsors of the
project. Announcing the
noteworthy documentation,
Dr. Berens stated that five
other northern Michigan
universities are par-
ticipating with the en-
couragement of scores of
high schools. The univer-
sities are: Bay de Noc Col-
lege, Escanaba; Gogelic
Community College, Iron-
wood; Lake Superior State
University, Sault St. Marie;
Michigan Technological
University, Houghton; and
Suomi College, Hancock.
The objectives of this

created an admired commu-
nal cultural status. Ap-
pearance of the latest vol-
ume of works perpetuates
creativity with Jewish-
inspired poetry and prose
interspersed with humor --4
and wit.
Under the guidance of
Norma Goldman, the jour-
nal's creative contributors
draw upon experiences and
their traditional Jewish
lessons of life in this country -4
as well as legacies from
nations where they attained
the wisdom that makes their
-4
journal universal.
The 36th volume of the
Writers' Journal gains new
attention as a book bound for
permanence as a communal
treasure and as a_gift as a
result of the new publishing
format by the Alexander
Hamilton Life Insurance
Company. Kathy Nagler
Bobrow, of the ad-
ministrative firm of Simons
Michelson Zeve, designed -1 4
the very professional Statue
of Liberty cover, which has -4
now become the symbol for _4
the journal.
The character of the entire
project retains the
dominance crated for it

Michigan-inspired commit-
ment are defined as:

(1) to provide Northern's
students, school children,
and the public of the
Upper Peninsula with a
record of information
about the Holocaust;
(2) to promote both an
awareness and an under-
standing of the event and
its significance for all
people, now and for the
future. More broadly, the
goal of the collection and
its donor is to promote
tolerance for diversity
and an appreciation for
the contributions of every
culture to the develop-
ment of humankind.

In a personal comment on
the objectives of his gift,
Willard Cohodas stated,
"With all that is going on in
Germany today, I feel we
must make every effort to
see that the youth of our
country don't forget what
happened in Germany and
Europe in the 1930s and
1940s."
Attainment of these aims
by northern Michigan uni-
versities and high schools
has become among the most
effective forces in
memorializing the Holo-
caust and assuring commit-
ment against its repetition.
