WWII Liberator to Speaker at the Freedom Center

As we reflect on the legacy of Dr. King, I am pleased to share that The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education will host an evening with World War II liberator and civil rights activist, Dr. Leon Bass on Tuesday, February 26, 6:00 p.m. at The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. Dr. Bass will discuss his experience as a liberator and his dedication to fighting racism and prejudice, wherever it exists.

 

At age nineteen, Dr. Bass help to liberated Buchenwald concentration camp. He saw the horrors of the Holocaust while also serving in a segregated military. After the war, Bass went on to receive his doctorate from Temple University and taught for many years in the Philadelphia school district. He has presented his story to audiences throughout the United States and across the world. To learn more about Dr. Bass, please visit http://drleonbass.com/.
