Dr. Martina Cucchiara, associate professor of history at Bluffton University, will present the Colloquium, “Life and Death in the Shadows: Hiding Jews in Nazi Germany and Occupied Europe during the Holocaust,” at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, December. 2 in Centennial Hall’s Stutzman Lecture Hall.
Cucchiara’s topic was inspired by the Bluffton University student play “The Diary of Anne Frank.” In July 1942, Anne Frank and her family went into hiding in the Netherlands under Nazi occupation. After more than two years, in August 1944, the Germans discovered their hiding place and arrested the family along with four other Jews. Only Anne’s father, Otto Frank, survived the Holocaust.
