Obituary July 13, 2012

Professor Goldwasser taught at MCCC for 47 years.  He taught philosophy for 39 years and served for many years as the Social Science chairperson.  He loved to challenge students to think critically about current day issues as well as ancient ideas and ideals.  Ultimately, he brought his own ideals to action through the Holocaust/Genocide Resource Center on the West Winsor Campus, as its Director for many years.

Through film, literature, music and lectures, he passionately promoted human dignity and denounced prejudice, racism, tribalism and oppression.  He went to great lengths to demonstrate global examples of genocide and often invested his own money to ensure that the best materials were available to our students, the school children and educators throughout the county who used the center, as well as Mercer’s own faculty and staff.  Though Professor Goldwasser was retired, he was still a consistent presence on the campus.
