just Jewish history. It's a terrible con-
demnation of Western civilization."
Very few of the students at the
Dearborn campus are Jewish, and
Bolkosky's classes are frequently their
first exposure to the Holocaust.
One of these students, Christine
Schmidt of Allen Park, who is Catholic
of Irish-German descent, is on track to
become the first doctoral candidate in
Holocaust studies in the United States.
After graduating from UM-D in
1998, she received the newly endowed
Rose Scholarship in Holocaust Studies
at Clark University. The scholarship,
along with university subsidies, will fully
fund five years of study.
"I was as proud as I could be,
Bolkosky said. "It is almost as if it were
one of my own kids."
The project of archiving survivors'
oral histories becomes more urgent as
the years pass, he said.
"It's the only way people of the next
generation who have never had any con-
tact with Holocaust survivors will be
able to grasp the real horror of what
happened," Bolkosky said.
"My concern now is, we almost lost
these stories once, I'm afraid we'll lose
them again." fl

The Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit has invited a
variety of groups to take part in Super
Sunday, Oct. 10, at the Max M. Fisher
Building in Bloomfield Township.
The telephone solicitation is the
kickoff for Federation's Annual
Campaign.
Invited participants include new
Americans, members of Federation's
Quarter Century Club, participants in
Miracle Mission III, Neighborhood
Project volunteers and parents whose
children went to Israel with the Teen
Mission. Miny other individuals and
families will participate as well.
The Federation campaign raises
funds to support 60 agencies in
Detroit and around the world that
care for the vulnerable, rescue the
impaired and revitalize Jewish life.
Last year, more than 400 volunteers
made telephone calls on behalf of the
campaign. Proceeds help thousands of
less-fortunate people locally, national-
ly, in Israel and in other countries.
Nancy Glass will co-chair Super
Sunday with Brent Triest.
For information on volunteering or
contributing, call Leonard Milstone,
