In producing a site such as "The John and
Molly Pollock Holocaust Collection", many individuals and
institutions have contributed to make it possible.
Our credits begin with sincere thanks to John
and Molly Pollock. Without the generous donation
of their book collection on the Holocaust to Centennial
College, we would not have been able to create this website
and share the books and the history with others.
We also express gratitude for the work of the
late Jerry Goodis who, in his capacity as
Special Advisor to the President, was instrumental in working
with President Richard Johnston to bring
the Holocaust book collection from the donors to Centennial
College.
Advisory Committee:
To help guide the use of the collection, President
Richard Johnston invited Rabbi Gunther Plaut to
act as Honourary Chair of the John and Molly Pollock Holocaust
Collection Advisory Committee. Committee members include:
