Sebelius makes appointments to the
Kansas State Holocaust Commission

Governor Kathleen Sebelius has appointed twelve Kansans to the State Holocaust Commission.

“The Holocaust Commission not only works to educate Kansans about the Holocaust,” Sebelius said, “but also promotes equal justice for all Kansans.”

Appointed to serve at the pleasure of the governor are:

Dr. Lauren Cohen, Topeka
Dr. Barry Crawford, Topeka
Dr. Donald Douglas, Wichita
Rep. Lana Gordon, Topeka
Dr. Mary Greenberg, Topeka
The Honorable Sheila Hochhauser, Manhattan
Bruce Levine, Lawrence

Rabbi Herbert Mandl, Shawnee Mission
Ragen Murray, Topeka
Dr. Keith Pickus, Wichita

The Kansas State Holocaust Commission serves to assist in the organization of commemorations in memory of the victims of the Holocaust, to help Kansas strive to overcome prejudice and inhumanity through education about the Holocaust and vigilance and resistance against bigotry and tyranny, and to encourage Kansans to rededicate themselves to the principle of equal justice for all people.
