On April 4, 2019, The American Institute for Contemporary German Studies (AICGS) published Professor Kevin Ostoyich’s newest article, “The Dealer’s Cards: How Gary Sternberg Has Made the Best of Them”, which tells the story of Shanghai refugee, Gary Sternberg. You can read this story at AICGS.org.

Morgan visited with Mr. Sternberg in Henderson, Nevada over Spring Break, after learning Mr. Sternberg’s life story in Professor Kevin Ostoyich’s The Holocaust course. Morgan is currently helping to create an exhibition display devoted to Mr. Sternberg’s life in the Christopher Center as part of the internship/independent study course in the University Archives & Special Collections. Mr. Sternberg will be visiting Valpo from April 24 – April 26, 2019, to share his story with students.
