The Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives
As a supplement to the KHRCA's newest exhibition - The Jacket from Dachau: One Survivor's Search for Justice, Identity, and Home, Mary Maudsley, JD will discuss the history of reparations during and after the Holocaust. Mary Maudsley is an adjunct faculty member in the Holocaust and Genocide program at Stockton University. A retired trial attorney, she specialized in ethics matters, discrimination issues, and state and local government litigation.
Located on the campus of Queensborough Community College CUNY, the KHRCA officially launched in 1983, as a research and teaching project of the QCC history department. Today, the Center has its own 9,000 square-foot building with permanent and rotating exhibition spaces, a 6,000 volume library, and a collection of hundreds of artifacts and archival materials related to the experiences of local Holocaust survivors and their descendants.
The mission of the KHRCA is to use the lessons of the Holocaust to educate current and future generations about the ramifications of unbridled prejudice, racism and stereotyping. Each year the Center offers a wide array of rich public programs and special events to support our mission.
