WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT

Holocaust Horrors Teach Lessons for Today 

Doug Cervi was horrified when he saw the shirts seeming to glorify the Holocaust worn by some rioters at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

An adjunct professor at Stockton University and executive director of the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education, Cervi said during a Holocaust Remembrance event on Jan. 26 hosted by the Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center at Stockton that teaching about the Holocaust is more important than ever.

“This is the most important subject I will ever teach,” said Cervi, who also taught history at Oakcrest High School for 41 years, where, he said, he did occasionally have students who believed the Holocaust never happened.
