Galloway, N.J. - Stockton University at Manahawkin will present “Survey of Non-Jewish Victims of the Holocaust,” on Monday, May 15 at 10 a.m.

The presentation will be given by Stockton University alumnus Steven Marcus, an adjunct instructor in the School of General Studies at Stockton and the director of the Holocaust and Genocide dual credit consortium, a group of high schools which participate in Stockton’s dual credit course in Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

Marcus’ presentation will focus on non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust and explore the concepts of uniqueness and universality. While millions of Jewish men and women were murdered by the Nazi regime, many other victim groups suffered similar fates. Marcus will pose the question as to whether the non-Jewish victims of Nazis should be included in a definition of the Holocaust, or as victims of an evolving Nazi policy.

The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Please call 609-626-3883 to register.
