Kurt Wallach was 7 when he and his family fled the Nazis in Magdeburg, Germany, in 1933. What ensued was a three-year journey that led to a new beginning in the United States.
Wallach wants to ensure his experience and those like his are remembered. For their struggle as well as their triumph.
That’s the impetus behind a $20 million gift to Florida Atlantic University its largest gift in school history to create the Kurt and Marilyn Wallach Institute for Holocaust and Jewish Studies housed in FAU’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters.
“We speak for those who cannot speak, and we remember all the victims including our family members who perished needlessly,” Kurt Wallach said. “No one should ever be subjected to such horror. We hope that through the education we can provide that lives will be saved and history will not be repeated.”

Kennedy McKinney (center, with the red dress) is the founder of The Paradigm Press, Florida Atlantic University s first Black newspaper. We launched the program because of the lack of coverage that the Black community was receiving from the FAU s official student newspaper.
The Paradigm Press is Florida Atlantic University’s first, Black-led newspaper. The online paper covers unique triumphs and challenges of student life in Boca Raton, and the niche, trending topics within FAU’s multi-ethnic Black community.
Kennedy McKinney is the founder and editor-in-chief. The journalism major says the paper is already making an impact on campus. So, for instance, we had some fees that were being incurred for the housing lawn, which was an area that the Black community used for almost every event. This new fee caused many organizations not to be able to use the lawn, McKinney said.

Scientists who have studied monarch caterpillars say that when they don t get enough milkweed to eat, they butt heads or knock each other out of the way.Florida Atlantic University
Some people are hungry when they ve missed a meal or eaten too little of one. Some people get hangry. That s when your blood sugar dips too low and makes you seriously irritable. (Hangry = hungry + angry.)
Humans aren t the only animals who feel hangry. New research from scientists at Florida Atlantic University shows that monarch caterpillars do, too. When these normally gentle, two-inch-long insects don t get enough of their main food - milkweed - they turn into jerks. They butt heads. They lunge at each other. They knock each other out of the way.
