Wallenberg Author Morris Wolff to Appear at Henry Ford Centennial Library

On Thursday, August 2, 2012, attorney and author Morris Wolff will present “Exploring Raoul Wallenberg in History and Literature” at the Henry Ford Centennial Library. Wolff’s presentation is part of a weeklong celebration of what would have been Wallenberg’s 100th birthday. In 1983, Wolff filed an historic lawsuit against the Soviet Union on behalf of the family of Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who rescued tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews in 1944. Wallenberg then disappeared, most likely at the hands of Soviet authorities.

The event is free and open to the public and runs from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Following his talk, Wolff will be available to sign copies of his book “Whatever Happened to Raoul Wallenberg?”. The book will be available for purchase.

The event is co-sponsored by the Dearborn Public Library, the Holocaust Memorial Center, the Mardigian Library, and Voice/Vision Archive at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The Henry Ford Centennial Library is located at 16301 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn, Michigan.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2012 Mardigian Library Student Satisfaction Survey. 748 responded to our survey. 53% of respondents were from the College of Arts Sciences & Letters, 19% from the College of Engineering & Computer Science, 17% from the College of Business, and 11% from School of Education.

We learned some intriguing details about how you and your fellow students interact with the library. You told us the ways you learn about the library are from our website, campus orientation, and friends or classmates. It was interesting to discover which devices you most frequently use to access library resources: personal computers or laptops, our computers in the library, or smartphones. Detailed results will be posted in a few months - after we analyze the feedback.

The Mardigian Library hosted its first website in 1996. Were you one of the site's creators? Did you wonder if websites were just a fad? By 2000, the library launched a new and improved website for the campus. Do you remember using this one? Any memories of 2006 redesign?
