This is a 6-day symposium held in Boone, NC by the Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies at Appalachian State University. Topic: The Holocaust as Global History Ms. Wallig's note: This has been an incredible experience, and it is quite difficult to pinpoint one "ultimate take-away." Something that has come up again and again throughout this experience is that nothing about the Holocaust was inevitable. There were always choices for bystanders, collaborators, and perpetrators to make another (better) choice. We need to celebrate the good choices made by those who aided Jewish people during the Holocaust, and we also need to recognize that no one nation made all of the "right" choices during this time. We all have more work to do. And we must remember--all of it, and all facets of it.
