Carnegie-Stout Public Library in Dubuque will host "Lessons of the Holocaust" presented by Brad Wilkening at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 22. This event is free and open to the public, and everyone is welcome to attend.
During his presentation, educator Brad Wilkening will use historical accounts and survivors' stories to show why the genocide of World War II is more relevant than ever, and how this terrible period in human history should be used to build a more compassionate and kind world today.
Brad Wilkening is an Iowa native and Augsburg College graduate with a background in teaching and coaching across the state. He developed a high school Holocaust course after attending a program at the Illinois Holocaust Museum, and later deepened his expertise at Columbia University in New York, and with the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous in New Jersey. Since joining the Iowa Commission on Holocaust Education in 2014, he has shared his Holocaust presentation with schools and libraries statewide.
