BLUFFTON, Ohio - Senior Aimee Whitmer (Grand Rapids/Otsego) capped her superb career at Bluffton by being named first team All-Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference for the 2013 women's soccer season. Freshman Abby Karikas (Curtice/Genoa Area) was selected honorable mention All-HCAC after anchoring the Beaver defense in her first season at Bluffton.
The diary of a Jewish German woman who survived the Holocaust convincingly conveys the extent to which the Nazi regime “depended on ordinary Germans to act out its vicious anti-Semitic ideologies and policies,” according to a Bluffton University historian.
The diary of Erna Becker-Kohen further illustrates how “successfully and relentlessly” the Nazis, with considerable help from German citizens, persecuted Jews and isolated them from their neighbors and families, “before they moved on to murdering them,” said Dr. Martina Cucchiara, an assistant professor of history.
Bluffton University running back Eric Fox (Brunswick) was voted as the HCAC Play of the Week for week 9. The junior earned the title after voting took place on the HCAC social media outlets of Facebook and Twitter. Fox leaped, twisted and landed on his feet, scoring from four yards out as the Beavers shut out Anderson 28-0 Saturday, securing this week's honor.
