HMC To Host Tour,
Talk By Dr. Guy Stern
The Holocaust Memorial Center (HMC)
Zekelman Family Campus will host a
museum tour and special presentation on
Sunday, Jan. 26, in honor of International
Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Admission to the HMC in Farmington
Hills is free all day; donations will still be
accepted.
A museum tour at 1 p.m. will walk
attendees through the museum dedicated
to the memory of the Holocaust.
At 2 p.m., following a short memorial
service, those not participating in the tour
can attend a special presentation by Dr.
Guy Stern, a World War II decorated vet-
eran and director of the HMC's Institute of
the Righteous. Stern will detail his family's
traumatic experience under Nazi rule, his
fortunate escape to the U.S. and his return
to Europe as an officer in the American
Secret Service.

A member of the
famed Ritchie Boys,
Stern was decorated with
the Bronze Star Medal
and cited for his detailed
statistical analysis of
enemy divisions facing
the First Army. The lat-
Guy Stern
ter was of inestimable
value to both higher
and lower headquarters. He is a frequent
speaker to groups across North America
and Europe.
The program is possible through sup-
port from Pam and Ken Bloom and the
David-Horodoker Organization (DHO).
The DHO has a permanent exhibit on
display at the Holocaust Memorial Center
that celebrates and memorializes pre-
World War II life in the Belarus Shtetl of
David-Horodok. DHO members also will
be on site that day and available to speak
with visitors.

its dedication to improving
educational opportunities through
participation in charities such as United
Hebrew Schools, the establishment of
Hillel Houses, and endowments for pro-
grams and scholarships. Of equal sig-
nificance is the community's continued
support for strengthening the State of
Israel. Occasionally, these two philan-
thropic ventures go hand-in-hand, such
as when a group of Jewish Detroiters
played a significant role in the estab-
lishment of Israel's Bar-Ilan University.
Dedicated in 1955, Bar-Ilan
University currently has more than
25,000 students and is one of the lead-
ing universities in Israel. The Jewish
News first reported on the activities of
the local Detroit chapter of the Friends
of the Bar Ilan University, including
