The York Diversity Forum will host a talk by Dr. Robert Bernheim, Ex. Director of the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine on December 11, from 10am to 12 noon, at the York Public Library. He will address issues of tolerance, development of educational programs to promote tolerance and reduce bullying, and creation of ethically literate populations. An active voice against intolerance and hate based activities, Dr. Bernheim has spoken to civic groups and published letters in Maine newspapers about the need for open dialogue, discussion, and involvement and commitment at the local level, to promote safe, diverse communities.
Dr. Bernheim is a graduate of Bowdoin college, holds a PhD from McGill University and has taught Holocaust History, Modern German and European History, Jewish History and Military History at Middlebury College, and the University of Vermont.
Since 2003, the York Diversity Forum(YDF) has addressed issues of diversity in the community. Our mission is to be a visible, peaceful, active voice and resource that promotes understanding, acceptance and respect for people of all races cultures, religions, sexual orientation ages and abilities.
