In Memory of Herb Hochhauser

Dr. Herbert Hochhauser passed away on January 1, 2019 at the age of 83.

He was the director of the Ethnic Heritage and Jewish Studies Programs at Kent State from 1980 – 1999. In addition to his academic career he produced numerous films about the Holocaust and won seven Emmy awards from the National Academy of Television, Arts and Sciences for these documentaries. Those awards will be displayed in the library for a time and thereafter will be found in the office of the Director of the Jewish Studies Program in Bowman Hall.

"We are grateful for his dedication and many contributions to the Kent community. May his memory be for a blessing. As the current Director of the Program I aspire to keep his legacy alive." -Chaya Kessler
