Abstract
The Holocaust Human Rights Center of Maine opened in 1985, and numbers 1,300 members. The center sends speakers to school and college classrooms throughout the state, provides a lending library of Holocaust materials, organizes a summer seminar for teachers and students, and has assembled a resource guide for elementary school teachers. Sharon Nichols, executive director of the center, in 1995 received three death-threat letters from a group calling itself the American Liberation Movement. Details: profiles of some of Maine's Holocaust survivors, including Jerry Slivka, 81, and wife Rochelle, 75, of Portland; Emil Landau, 71, of Damariscotta; Judith Magyar Isaacson, 71, of Auburn; and Charles Rotmil, 64, of Portland.
