Executive Summary:
Adopt a Gold Resolution Honoring and Commending Sonoma State University On The Occasion Of The 40th Anniversary Of Its Holocaust And Genocide Lecture Series. (Third District)
Discussion:
Since 1983, the annual Holocaust and Genocide Lecture Series has brought outstanding speakers from around the world to Sonoma State University students and the community of Sonoma State. This distinguished series has received numerous accolades and is recognized as the only one of its kind in the United States. The semester-long series is an academic course for students, and each lecture is open to the public. The series has brought survivors, liberators and rescuers to campus, as well as leading scholars in the field. Perhaps the most powerful aspect of this series is the personal eyewitness accounts of Holocaust survivors and, more recently, survivors of the Armenian, Rwandan, Cambodian, and Bosnian genocides. The audience is challenged to face the difficult reality of man’s brutality and inhumanity and bear witness to the astounding human capacity for resilience.
