Lecture by CGS Distinguished Alumnus David Wluka
David Wluka (CGS'66, CAS'68, GRS'70) is founder of the Nowy Dwor Jewish Memorial Project and is a recipient of the CGS Distinguished Alumni Award. The son of a Holocaust survivor, Wluka visited his father's Polish hometown, Nowy Dwór, and discovered that Nazis had destroyed all trace of the town's Jewish heritage including its cemetery--using the caskets, sand, and bones for concrete and the matzevot (headstones) to fortify the roads for their tanks. Wluka established the Nowy Dwór Jewish Memorial, a nonprofit foundation devoted to restoring the cemetery and the Jewish heritage of Nowy Dwór. The foundation sponsors an annual tolerance essay contest at the local high schools. On April 9, Wluka will deliver a message of peace and tolerance for our times. All are welcome.
