Judges join academia for Holocaust lecture



 A Young Boy Who Fought the Nazis.”The Kings County courts and local colleges have long enjoyed a cooperative approach to educating the youth of Brooklyn. Court employees and judges often attend conferences, speak at seminars and host children, teens and young adults at the courthouses. 

 A Young Boy Who Fought the Nazis.”

 

Shannon Taylor, a court attorney at Brooklyn Criminal Court, organizes many such programs through his nonprofit Not Just Blacks And Jews In Conversation. A recent event this year brought two Kings County Supreme Court justices out to Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn, to speak at a Kingsborough Community College Criminal Justice Program.

 

Mike Taylor and his younger sisters (from left), Eva, 10; Rifka, 8; and Malka, 5. The girls were hidden in separate convents during World War II. Coincidentally, Rifka and Eva were hidden in the Chateau Chambeaux, where, unbeknownst to him, Shannon Taylor visited on his honeymoon. Mike Taylor lost his eldest sister and his parents, who were killed in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
