(Brad Davis/The Register-Herald) Simone Lotven Sofian, Ph.D., holds up an enlarged photo of her late mother taken when she was a teenager in the early 1940's prior to speaking about the plight of Jews in France during the Holocaust Sunday afternoon inside WVU Tech's Carter Hall. What's difficult to see in the photo is a yellow star of David on her dress and the scene of the photo, a public park that was forbidden to Jews during that time period. Her mother would later join the French resistance and survive the war.
