Summer 2020 Remote Research

In my summer project, I worked with Steve Goldberg and two other Duke students to chronicle the life of Holocaust survivor Abe Piasek in a project titled My Friend Abe. The goal was to ensure that his life and the horrors of the Holocaust would not be forgotten nor repeated. Our work consisted of listening to interviews and talks that Abe gave, surveying historical records, reading articles about him, and polishing a presentation for a lecture series. The final deliverable was a beta website describing his life and giving options to donate or schedule a talk.
