I had the great fortune of taking a course about the Holocaust Dr. Tec taught at UConn Stamford Branch in 1985. Apart from her incredible scholarship and knowledge, Dr. Tec´d warmth, dynamic personality, and enthusiasm for her students´ learning infused each lecture she gave. I have very fond memories of the discussions she and I had about my professional goals, and I´m forever in her debt. Msy her memory be a blessing.
