Trainor Letter to the Editor

To the Editor: 

When I taught at MTSU no one knew I was Jewish. I was the only one in 20,000 students. My gratitude to Bobbie and Alex (world class artist) Limor, Felicia Anchor, our beacon of light and inspiration, Delilah Cohn, just a wonderful, great docent, for spectacular work with the Nashville Holocaust Memorial. 

 

It seems a little lonely at the Holocaust Memorial. We need the MTSU students (January, page 20) to infuse new blood and show our community we are alive with enthusiasm. 

 

How many readers have seen our Holocaust Memorial in all its eternal intrinsic beauty? 

 

Take a walk and see the inimitable art, stone tablets. 

 

Shalom, 

Cynthia Trainor 

Second generation Holocaust survivor 

Lecturer and artist
