As a college student in the late 1970s, Alice Malavasic assisted with the development of the first course about the Holocaust to be taught at Columbia College in South Carolina, and her professor has not forgotten about her help.
Holocaust Remembered, a special supplement from The Columbia Holocaust Education Commission (published this month in The State of South Carolina), contains an article by Dr. Selden Smith.
Dr. Smith was Malavasic’s history professor at Columbia. He and Dr. Carl Evans, a religion professor at the University of South Carolina, invited her to join them at an Emory University conference on how to structure courses as it had been Malavasic’s suggestion that Dr. Smith develop a course about the Holocaust. “He knew I had been studying the holocaust for awhile and that I was interested in pursuing a degree in holocaust studies,” Malavasic said.
Dr. Smith’s article — The beginning of Holocaust education in the Midlands — can be found at http://www.scribd.com/doc/218617853/Holocaust-Remembered.
