The Kohlmeier Mikulencak Scholarship in Honor of Arthur Poznanski is made possible by the generous support of Bernhard Kohlmeier and Lisa Ann Mikulencak. The purpose of this endowed scholarship is to provide support for students studying topics related to Holocaust, Genocide Studies, and/or Crimes Against Humanity. Awarded in honor of Arthur Poznanski (1927-2009), a Holocaust survivor, the scholarship is for someone who embodies Poznanski’s tremendous spirit. Poznanski was a teenager in Nazi Germany, wounded while escaping a train to a death camp, saved by the fortuitous placement of a spoon in a pocket, and lived in the U.K. dedicating his life to his community and to educating youth about discrimination and bigotry.
