Additional Information
You are invited to come and hear Clarice Wilsey as she shares the story of her father and his experience at Dachau Concentration Camp in 1945. Clarice's father was born in Oconomowoc and graduated from UW Madison medical school. What he encountered at the Dachau camp as part of the liberating army haunted him and he wanted no one to forget the atrocities of the holocaust. She speaks to students/families all across the country in his honor and to keep the memory of the holocaust alive.
