Dr. Alexander richie, who serves as the convener of our president ial councillors, to lead dr. Gerhardt wineburg and dr. Jeff mcgargy. Alex has been involved with our museum since the first appearance at our 2014 international conference. And in those five years, we have kept her quite busy. Many meetings, committees. And, also, as you heard this morning, leading a lot of our educational travel tours. She she has been has a deep and personal connection to the holocaust, as her fatherinlaw, who im sure shes going to explain more about, was, himself, in auschwitz during world war ii. So to hear the latest in holocau holocaust scholarship and to look at what was going on in june 1944, its my pleasure to ask dr. Richie to come up. Thank you so much. This is, indeed, a topic very, very close to my heart, as most of you know. I live in warsaw in poland, as just heard my fatherinlaw was in auschwitz when a Founding Member of which was an organization to try and save jews from the ghetto. Then
