Max left his mark on me and thousands of young people | Opinion
President and CEO Mary Pat Higgins hugs Holocaust survivor Max Glauben after cutting a ribbon for the new Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum opening in downtown Dallas in September 2019.For me, personally, and for everyone involved with the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, Max Glauben was a guiding light, inspiring us to redouble our efforts to combat prejudice, hatred and indifference.
“After I picked him up from the airport, I asked him if he would mind speaking to the students on our alternative campus. These are kids who are suspended from regular school because of a behavior issue. Because of the suspension, they were not allowed to attend Max’s evening presentation. Their teacher told me that after watching his DVD, the students had a discussion for over an hour. They were upset that they did not know about the Holocaust.
So, I am not going to attempt to do justice to the legacy of Max Glauben in these lines. Instead, I would like to share some of the letters our museum has received. These are quotes from students across Texas who were fortunate to hear Max speak. “Since I heard you speak, it has opened my eyes to treating myself and everyone around me much better. You have made a huge impact in my life.”
“To witness your father being killed must have been extremely painful. … Even after that, you served in the Korean War and then fought cancer. At the very least, you deserve to just relax but you came on your own time to speak to us. I am very thankful that you came to talk to us about what happened to you so that what happened can never happen again.”
Max lived a full and amazing life. His legacy will live on forever in the hearts and minds of all of the students, teachers, friends, family and the greater community he so faithfully served and inspired.
