Pollock Holocaust & Genocide Studies Collection

Credits

In producing a site such as "The John and Molly Pollock Holocaust Collection", many individuals and institutions have contributed to make it possible.

Our credits begin with sincere thanks to John and Molly Pollock. Without the generous donation of their book collection on the Holocaust to Centennial College, we would not have been able to create this website and share the books and the history with others.

We also express gratitude for the work of the late Jerry Goodis who, in his capacity as Special Advisor to the President, was instrumental in working with President Richard Johnston to bring the Holocaust book collection from the donors to Centennial College.

Advisory Committee:

To help guide the use of the collection, President Richard Johnston invited Rabbi Gunther Plaut to act as Honourary Chair of the John and Molly Pollock Holocaust Collection Advisory Committee. Committee members include:

Volunteer Support:

• Joseph Koenig, Member of the John and Molly Pollock Holocaust Collection Advisory Committee, was actively involved in various ways, contributing content, providing commentaries, and preparing translations from "Der Giftpilz" and selected articles from "Dresdner Nachrichten".
• Len Rudner, Canadian Jewish Congress Ontario Region, provided editorial suggestions.
• John and Molly Pollock donated their time for a video interview included on the site.
