Conference Proceedings

The Center publishes conference proceedings following each of its conferences. In 2008, Mrs. Ethel LeFrak, a noted New York philanthropist, created The Ethel LeFrak Holocaust Education Conference Endowment Fund, which underwrites publication of The Ethel LeFrak Holocaust Education Conference Proceedings. Copies of the proceedings are available for purchase by contacting ncche@setonhill.edu.

Nostra Aetate Award Publications

The first four and the seventh Nostra Aetate Award presentations were presented during Holocaust Education Conferences. Thus, the awardees’ lectures were published as part of the proceedings. In 2005 and 2008, the award presentations were stand-alone events. Consequently, the Center published honorees’ remarks individually. Copies of these two booklets are available at no cost by contacting ncche@setonhill.edu:

• Fifth Nostra Aetate Award Honoring Rev. John T. Pawlikowski, O.S.M., Ph.D. (April 7, 2005)
• Sixth Nostra Aetate Award Honoring Dr. Eugene J. Fisher (October 23, 2008)
