Unmute
EAU CLAIRE (WQOW)- Wednesday marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and a group of UW-Eau Claire students and staff are remembering those lost, through research that helped uncover a victim s story.
A documentary was recently completed in partnership with other universities showcasing several students and staff who traveled to Lithuania in 2017 in search of the grave of Matilda Olkin, a Jewish Lithuanian poet who died during the Holocaust. One professor who led the trip says it was important to take students to the site not only to immerse them in the culture and research but help others remember lost victims and prevent further tragedy.
