Denial recounts Professor Lipstadt's legal battle for historical truth against David Irving, who sued her for libel when she declared him a Holocaust denier. The film is now playing in Los Angeles and other selected cities.

Students and Survivors Bake Challah at Pepperdine University

Yesterday  50 Pepperdine students gathered with five Survivor speakers from our community to braid and bake challah. For most of the students, this was their first time hearing from or meeting a Holocaust Survivor as well as their first time making challah.

Sunday Survivor Speaker Series: Bob Geminder
Sunday, October 9 at 2:00 pm

Bob was born in 1935 in Wroclaw, Poland. Upon the outbreak of war, Bob's family was forcibly relocated to Stanislawow, a city then under Soviet occupation. The family's fate worsened in 1941 when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Stanislawow fell under heavy bombing, during which time his 
father suffered a fatal heart attack. His mother soon remarried, and worked with her husband to protect Bob and his brother. The four of them eventually made their way to Warsaw, where after the Uprising, they were sent to Auschwitz. Just before the train arrived, they managed to escape, and hid until they were liberated by Soviet troops in January 1945. Bob's family left Poland for the United States in 1947, where he eventually worked as an engineer and a teacher.
With gratitude to the Joseph Drown Foundation for their generous support of free Holocaust education and school tours.
