Contact: (Article by Erica Fulton, Communications Specialist-SSU Office of Communications) Holocaust survivor speaks to SSU community
PORTSMOUTH,
Ohio—Each day Holocaust survivor Morris Dach spent in Auschwitz
concentration camp he was told, “The world will never know what
happened here,” but on Thursday, July 26, Dach met with Shawnee
State University students and faculty to continue his efforts to
assure that Nazi soldiers were wrong. Mr. Dach, an
exuberant man whose appearance only slightly hints to his age or
traumatic experiences, stood in front of a packed room in SSU’s
Advanced Technology Center to deliver his story of surviving the
concentration camps at Auschwitz and Birkenau and prisoner coal mine
at Janinagrube. “The one reason I’m here is to tell the truth,” Dach
says. He wants to stand
up to those who would assert that the Holocaust did not happen.
The Columbus businessman has been speaking in front of the
weeklong workshop provided collaboratively by Shawnee State
University, the Holocaust Foundation, and Portsmouth’s B’Nai
Abraham Temple in conjunction with Kent State University and the
Ohio Council on Holocaust Education (OCHE) for almost 12 years.
According to the OCHE, “ ‘Teaching the Holocaust: A
One-Week Workshop’ aims to provide teachers of social studies,
English, history, and related subjects with greater insight into the
Holocaust and genocide.” OCHE Executive
Director Dr. David Brenner explains, “We are teaching teachers how
to teach about the Holocaust.”
He hopes that if nothing else, those who attend the workshops
learn “the necessity of preventing future genocides and the
necessity of confronting events that bear comparison.” Dach, an eyewitness
to the horror of genocide, shares his account of survival during the
Final Solution in hopes that others will learn to love and not hate. Dach was only a teen when his family was sent to live in a
ghetto, a part of the city Jews were forced to live in under German
surveillance. Even
then, Dach resisted what he was told and credits his survival to his
refusal to follow the rules. “I
was a rebel. I think
that is why I survived,” he says with a spirit that comes through
in his voice and gestures. Rebelling against
Nazi forces was almost assured death, but Dach managed to avoid
being caught. Each day
he would venture out of the ghetto to bring back food to his family.
If he were caught, he would have been hanged publicly as a
warning to others. But,
Dach refused to let his family suffer.
He explains, “My parents did not go hungry.
I took care of that.”
Tragically, Dach’s
parents were some of the first from his hometown, Plonsk, Poland, to
be executed by the Nazis. They
were taken away by train and he never saw them again.
Later, another survivor told him that his parents had been
taken to Auschwitz before the crematories had been built.
The Germans tried to gas them with fumes, but they survived
so they were doused with gasoline and burned alive.
“Till this day, I
couldn’t understand the German mentality,” says Dach about the
brutality of the Nazis. Dach was one of the
last Jews to be taken from the ghetto.
In 1941 he was transported to Auschwitz, a notorious
concentration and death camp. Upon
arrival his hair was shaved and a number was tattooed on his arm, a
mark he still bears. “At that moment on
I lost my identity as a man and went by a number,” he says. It was then that he came face to face with atrocities that
according to Dach, “Nobody should see what we saw.” Men were castrated after being tied down; babies were ripped
from their mother’s arms and bashed against walls; death was all
around them. Every day
those who could not work were murdered.
“You could not get sick or you were dead,” Dach says.
Those who went to the hospital never came back.
He explains that you had to get out and work to survive.
He endured the
winter by staying indoors to learn to become a bricklayer. He found that they didn’t punish people for failing
courses, so he failed a few times to stay inside.
When spring came he decided to start working. He could go out and barter with civilians who worked at the
camps for items he would use to bribe guards for extra bread. Eventually Dach was
sent to Janinagrube to mine for coal, but when the Germans began
losing the war, he was sent back to Auschwitz.
As the Russians approached the death camp, the Nazis
constantly told the Jews they would not make it out alive.
Instead of gassing all the prisoners, they sent them out on a
death march. Dach knew
he had to escape. He
and two other prisoners broke from the line and made it into the
forest amongst a spray of gunfire. With no food or
shelter, Dach took another chance and approached a farmer for help.
He was allowed to take bread and shelter in the barn.
Dach remembers sleeping among the goats; “it was
heavenly.” But, when
the farmer became frightened that the Germans would discover him, he
pushed the escapees out with false warnings that the Germans were
looking for them. Dach
and the other men fled to a nearby farm and overpowered the family.
They kept the German family captive for three weeks until the
Russian army liberated them. Dach
tried to live in Europe but found it was still hostile to Jews.
He set out for the United States, where he met his wife of 51
years. Mr. Dach has
since retired a successful businessman in the restaurant equipment
industry. He continues
to speak about his experience, but as he says, “a lot of survivors
try to live in the past, I don’t do that.”
He says that is why he is able to talk to people about the
truth of what happened just 60 years ago.
For
the Shawnee State University community, the truth is now impossible
to forget. Books and
movies can educate, but Morris Dach’s account imprints the
realness of what happened in the not so distant past.

Earns AATP Shawnee State University has been named an
official Authorized Academic Training Provider (AATP) making
it possible for the University to offer the Microsoft Certified
Systems Engineer (MCSE) training program.
This series of courses will help interested residents in the
area prepare to pass the certification tests required to become a
certified systems engineer. Cristy D. Boggs, coordinator of computer enrichment training in the
Office of University Outreach Services at SSU, said the MCSE
credential is one of the most widely recognized and demanded
technical certifications in the IT industry. “Those earning the valued MCSE credential are demonstrating that they
have the skills necessary to lead organizations in the successful
design, implementation, and administration of the most advanced
Microsoft Windows platform and Microsoft server products,” she
said. “It is also very rare for a provider to be located in
southern Ohio. There
are only a handful in this region.” The MCSE certification-training program consists
of a series of four to five week class modules with a pre-test
intensive training session following the final class. Mark A. Yarnell, network systems engineer at SSU, is instructor for the
classes. Yarnell is
certified as a MCSE, MCT, MCP+I, and CCNA. Boggs said that if an individual can complete the training within a
year, his or her marketability increases greatly. “We are limited to 12 spots per class and they fill up fairly quickly.
I receive one or two calls per day from people who have
degrees but want to open up the job market for themselves through
this training,” she said. According to Boggs, individuals who have the MCSE certification can
start out making $40,000-$50,000 per year, and trainers make between
$50-$100 per hour. “If you want to pick the location in the world in which you have
always wanted to live, you will find work there with this
certification,” she said. “Nearly
all schools, libraries, phone and cable companies, and most
businesses have network systems on which they need systems engineers
to work.” To receive registration information or answers to questions about this important training opportunity, call Boggs at (740) 351-3178, or contact her via e-mail at boggsc@shawnee.edu.

Occupational Therapy Programs
SSU OT students Suzanne Brumfield (being seated) and Tiffani Preston demonstrate the proper technique of a wheelchair transfer.
SSU OT instructor Melinda Sissell works with OT student Jennifer Sommer and her daughter on balancing with a bolster.
Debra
Scurlock, director of the Department of Occupational Therapy at
Shawnee State University (SSU) and former director of occupational
therapy at Southern Ohio Medical Center (SOMC), sees a solid
connection between the occupational therapy programs at SSU and SOMC,
and says more and more individuals are realizing the many benefits
of entering the field of occupational therapy. “It
is a partnership. When
I was at SOMC, we took on SSU students and ended up hiring many of
them. And by creating
this liaison with Shawnee State and having their students with us,
we were able to build our programs’ motif—in particular the home
health, industrial rehab, inpatient rehab, and the neurological
arenas,” she said. Occupational
therapy is a vital health care service that uses “occupation,”
meaning purposeful activity, as the basis for treatment of people
with a wide variety of physical, developmental, and emotional
disabilities. Scurlock
said that occupational therapists and occupational therapy
assistants help disabled people of all ages acquire or regain the
skills they need to live independent, productive, and satisfying
lives. “Our
students and graduates work in hospitals, rehabilitation centers,
nursing homes, public and private schools, and home health
agencies,” she said. Occupational
therapy assistants work under the guidance of occupational
therapists. They may
choose or construct equipment that helps people to function more
independently; they may carry out treatment activities for
individuals or groups of patients; and they work closely with
families of patients who are preparing to return home. SOMC,
according to Scurlock, has always had occupational therapy programs
all over the community. “This is
because Shawnee State University produces such good individuals at
the assistant level. Then
when the University started producing graduates at the baccalaureate
level, that gave us another way to continue to develop and promote
OT services in the community,” she said. Nearly all
of the OTA’s that Scurlock hired in her role at SOMC were from
SSU’s program. She
credits the University’s production of OT’s with the better
services that are available in the community, including
rehabilitation and occupation. “When you
look at the industrial program and the types of work OT’s do with
industry and injured workers, in putting them back to work, Shawnee
State University graduates are there, and they are working in the
school systems, hospitals, nursing homes, and homeless shelters,”
she said. SSU OT
students are doing fieldwork all over the country, including
Charleston, WV; Parkersburg, WV; Chillicothe; Columbus; Gallipolis;
Wheeling, WV; Lexington, KY; Houston, TX; Birmingham, AL; Webster,
TX; Chicago; Cincinnati; Charleston, SC; and Washington, D.C.
Students in the SSU OT program will do field work for six
months, while OTA students do field work for three months. “We have
them all over the place. It’s
been great because it broadens their knowledge.
They take their knowledge base from SSU which we think is
very developed in OT and take it to these other clinics, hospitals,
and facilities. In
addition, we have a very good passing rate on our national board
exams.” For
the past several years, the National Board for Certification in
Occupational Therapy has sent notification to SSU that the students
in the OT and OTA programs at the University have had a 100 percent
passing rate on the certification examination.
SSU students’ average score has been well above the
national average for both the occupational therapy registered
(four-year program) and the certified occupational therapy assistant
(two year program) examinations. “Such
scores represent exceptional performance from our students and
demonstrate the quality of SSU’s occupational therapy students
against the national standard,” said Dr. Michael Field, interim
president at SSU. There are a
lot of new emerging practices in OT, according to Scurlock. “Working
in homeless shelters, like our students do, allows for work in
wellness-based areas, in trying to help people figure out
lifestyles. It’s such
a holistic view of healthy life, whether it’s from a rehab
standpoint, helping workers go back to work, or helping homeless
people try to establish their lives again,” she said. To further
illustrate its connection to the community, SSU OT/OTA students
recently helped out with a project with the Red Cross called Safe
City—a program that emphasizes safety in the local community. To
become an occupational therapy assistant, an educational program
must be completed. The
majority of these are two-year associate degree programs like the
one offered at SSU. Studies
include basic academic subjects, human growth and development, the
functioning of the human body, and occupational therapy principles
and techniques. The OTA
program requires two, eight-week rotations of supervised practical
experience in a variety of health care settings. Individuals who
are interested in becoming an occupational therapist must complete
an educational program in occupational therapy at either the
baccalaureate or graduate level.
The program at SSU leads to a bachelor of science degree with
a concentration in occupational therapy.
Studies include basic academic courses in the sciences and
liberal arts as well as occupational therapy theoretical constructs
and practices. The
occupational therapy program requires six to nine months of
full-time internships in a variety of health care settings. Both
the OT and OTA programs at SSU are accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American
Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). National
data shows that the starting yearly salary for occupational
therapists is $42,000 while occupational therapist assistants start
out making $32,000. “Not only
do our graduates start out making good money, they advance in their
fields fairly quickly,” Scurlock said. Pointing out
the holistic impact occupational therapists and assistants have on
society, Scurlock said that if a person is the entrepreneurial type,
a self-motivator or self-starter, he or she could start his or her
own business in the field. “With the
background that you get in OT, there are so many things that you can
do. There is a great
skill level and knowledge base that will open up many doors, for
instance, in geriatric centers (adult daily living).
SSU students and graduates work in such facilities.” Scurlock
added that It has been a great experience to see both sides of the
coin—to help SSU promote the SOMC program and SOMC promote the SSU
program. “I’ve
done both. And if you
want to get a great job and have connections with hospitals all over
the U.S., the SSU OT/OTA programs are for you,” she said. For more

University, call the department at (740) 351-3225, or call the SSU

Devotes Herself to Saving Animals
Shawnee
State University student Janine Hansing has taken in 31 dogs
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio-How many people would rescue
one homeless animal from the pound or humane society?
Two…three…four? How
about 31 like Shawnee State University student Janine Hansing? The 19-year-old biology major has
single-handedly rescued 60 to 70 animals that otherwise would have
be euthanasized. Most recently she took in all the animals from the Scioto
County Humane Society when it closed so they weren’t put down.
Added with the animals she has saved from the pound, Hansing
now has 24 dogs and 7 cats that need good homes.
Although Hansing would love to keep all of them, she realizes
that her home is just a temporary place for them.
“I want to get them into a good home
because they obviously weren’t in a good home before,” she said.
Right now, the slew of dogs and handful of
cats make their home in the Hansing family’s 40-acre farm, but
Janine worries that they don’t get enough attention.
She admits that she is closer to her own pets and wants the
rescued dogs to have that kind of attention. “I want them to go to a home where someone
thinks they’re the best dog,” Hansing said.
Of course, the dogs have a large fenced-in area to run around
in and can even cool off in the kiddy pool she has set up for them,
while the cats hide away in the barn. Hansing, who plans to become a veterinarian,
moved to Portsmouth two years ago from Columbus with her father.
When one of her dogs was hit on the road, she went to the
pound and rescued two dogs. “When I saw all those dogs in the pound I
cried. I wanted to take
them all home with me,” she said.
After she found homes for those two dogs, she went back and
rescued two more and has kept it up ever since.
Hansing pays to have the animals spade or neutered,
administers all the vaccinations herself except for rabies, which is
done by a licensed vet, gives them heart worm prevention, and treats
them for mange or any other condition they have.
Hansing says she has learned a lot from all
the work she has done with the animals, which has been good practice
for her future career. However,
in order for her to continue, she has to have help from the
community. “I’ve spent my entire life savings and
I’ve run out of money,” she explained.
“My dad has been nice enough to lend me money, but he is
hoping that I can get the city to help more with donations or stop
doing this.” Hansing is selective in placing the animals. She won’t adopt the dogs to anyone who is going to keep
them tied up or won’t give them the care they deserve.
She prefers homes where the dogs will be mostly inside or
where there is a fenced-in yard.
She wants people who are looking for a companion pet.
Many of the dogs she rescues have been neglected or
mistreated and need a home that is going to provide them with a
happy and healthy life. For Hansing, who attends SSU full-time and
normally works a part-time job, caring for such a large number of
animals is getting to be too much. “Ideally it would be nice to have my dogs
and two rescued ones at a time so I can work with them more,” she
explained. Currently, Hansing has one full-breed
Newfoundland, a black lab, some blue tick/rottweiler mixed breeds,
border collies, hounds, and other mixed breeds that are available
for adoption. “I like to get the mutts.
I think they’re better dogs,” she added jokingly. The animal enthusiast names every dog and
calls out all 24 of them with little hesitation-an impressive feat
considering she has saved 60-70 animals in the last two years. Hansing says she has no problem adopting the
animals for free, but prefers if a donation can be given so that she
can continue to help other animals. Hansing added that those who
can’t adopt still could help by making donations of dog food,
trashcans to keep the food in, kitty litter, and medical supplies.
Those who are interested in adopting or donating can call

Students Experience Life in Venezuela
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio--Shawnee State University (SSU) professor of Coll,
who is originally from Venezuela, explained, "Although we [SSU]
do not have a foreign language requirement, we have the incentive of
travel to study the language. If
students know they might have that opportunity, they would be more
inclined to learn. "Coll
explained that after one year students have the basic tools to
travel to a Spanish-speaking location.
Venezuela was actually a special choice for Coll, who had to
arrange the tour herself because there are no educational package
tours to the country. "I
always wanted to share my country with students," Coll said.
"In such a small territory you find all different
geographic areas." While
in Venezuela, Coll and Eric Fields, Amanda Flavin, Erica Fulton,
Brian Mitchell, Kevin Mitchell, Patrick Preston, and Shelby Preston,
all students at SSU, as well as Angela Dengle, an adjunct Spanish
professor at SSU, visited a mixture of sites that allowed them to
experience the variety of the country.
The majority of their trip was spent at Margarita Island at
La Posada de Aleja, a student-run hotel created by La Universidad de
Oriente. Located in a
fisherman village the hotel assists students from the local
university who are studying hotel and tourist management in getting
hands-on experience in their field.
La posada allowed the SSU students to interact with native
speakers more so than in most educational tours, where contact with
Spanish-speakers is usually limited to the tour guide.
Eric
Fields recalled, "The first night our group spoke as much
Spanish as we could at the time and asked all the questions that
were possible about their school, life, and Venezuela that we could
get across." Kevin
Mitchell said he met a student from the university and found out
that they had very much in common. "We
were about the same age, both in college, and we enjoyed the same As
part of the ecotourism aspect of the course, a movement to allow
tourism to natural habitats without damaging the environment,
students also visited La Restinga, a natural habitat for oysters.
On a very special excursion, the group chartered a plane and
traveled into the rain forest to Canaima.
They flew over Angel Falls, a natural wonder of the world,
and hiked into the forest and under a waterfall.
Patrick
Preston recalled, "One by one in single file we all made our
way under the falls, a raging river going over our head.... It was
an experience of a lifetime, my best memory of the entire
trip." Coll
hopes by offering more travel opportunities to students, they will
see the importance of visiting other places.
Amanda
Flavin said there is something about being in a foreign country that
does something to a person. "It
is almost like no matter what you do...the country becomes part of
you and ...you are a different person when you leave," Flavin
said. Coll
hopes to offer other such enriching travel opportunities to students
next summer quarter when she plans to return to Venezuela and also
visit Spain. She
encourages students who are interested in the trips to begin
studying the language this fall quarter at SSU.
