City of Greeley News

Join a free history presentation to hear about lesser-known aspects of the Holocaust at noon, Thursday, April 27, at the Active Adult Center, 1010 6^th Street.

The presentation in basement meeting rooms 2 and 3 is free and open to the public. No reservations are required.

University of Northern Colorado History Professor Joan Clinefelter, Ph.D., will discuss the gap between what people have heard about the Holocaust and what actually happened. For example, the facts are:

• The mass murder of Jews started in the summer of 1941 rather than in 1933 when Hitler became German Chancellor.
• At the end of the war, more Jews lived in Germany than before the war started.

In Holocaust 101, Clinefelter will shed light on these and other Holocaust topics.

Clinefelter has taught at the University of Northern Colorado since 1995.  Her areas of expertise include Modern European History, 20^th-century Europe, and modern Germany. She has written numerous articles about Nazi Germany and teaches a history course about the Holocaust.
