PSC Hosts Holocaust Survivor in Free Presentation Nov. 12 PENSACOLA, Fla. – Holocaust survivor Allan J. Hall brings the horror of genocide to life in a free presentation at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, at Pensacola State College’s Hagler Auditorium, Building 2, Room 252, on the Pensacola campus. The public is invited to come at 5:30 p.m. for a reception prior to the program. As a young child, Hall and his family survived the Holocaust by hiding in Poland. Hall recounts his family’s experiences of walking 200 miles to escape the invading German army, hiding, fearing discovery, surviving and then living under Soviet domination after the war. Eventually he came to a new life in America. Despite the unimaginable fear and dread in his childhood memories, Hall tells his story in the hope of extinguishing prejudice and eliminating genocide. Hall holds degrees from the University of Florida and Georgia Institute of Technology. He has been a professor at Southern Polytechnic State University in Atlanta and University of Florida. Currently, Hall resides in Miami where he is active as a lecturer on behalf of the Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial. Hall’s presentation is sponsored by the James M. Kobacker Endowment through the Pensacola State College Foundation. Additional sponsors are PSC Dept. of History, Languages and Social Sciences; PSC Black History/Multi-Cultural Committee; University of West Florida and the Pensacola Jewish Federation. While he is on the PSC campus, Hall also is sharing his story on the “Aware!” television program that will be aired on WSRE TV at a later date. For more information, call 850-484-1428. |
