Stan and Barbara Rabin Distinguished Professor in Holocaust Studies

In 2006 Edward and Wilhelmina Ackerman made the lead gift to transform the Holocaust Studies Program into the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies. The following year, a donation from the Edward and Wilhelmina Ackerman Foundation established the Stan and Barbara Rabin Distinguished Professor in Holocaust Studies. The professorship supports the scholarly, educational and community outreach activities of an internationally recognized scholar of Holocaust studies and the related aspects of European and American history, including literature, culture and politics that form the context of the Holocaust.
