The Farkas Center's annual Courage and Spirit event serves to educate and build community through highlighting eyewitness accounts of survivors of the Holocaust and other human rights atrocities from across the globe. This event engages students through the power of personal testimony, connecting to the world around us and emphasizing human dignity.  It is held each year in the spring, around the time of Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) commemorating the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
