I took multiple semester-long university courses on the Holocaust at both the Holocaust Center of Northern California in San Francisco and University of Judaism in Los Angeles, taught by internationally known and published researchers in the field. Both facilities are the largest repositories of Holocaust information on the West Coast, with the Holocaust Center in San Francisco being a West Coast hub of Holocaust studies and research. I am a trained and certified Holocaust Educator through the Holocaust Center of Northern California and have conducted seminars (and published essays) at the Center itself, University of Judaism, and University of Southern California. I have attended lectures by numerous survivors in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Jerusalem, and participated in extensive guided visits at the camp at Dachau, Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, and the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. A friend of mine's mother is the director of Simon Wiesenthal's Documentation Center in Vienna.

I've studied this topic extensively. What I have said is true. I wish it weren't. But it is.
