In a meeting with this year's high school Presidential Scholars, he was handed a letter signed by fifty of the students criticizing the White House's detention policies and support for torture in the so-called war on terror. We speak with two of the students." * Mari Oye. Presidential Scholar from Wellesley High School in Massachusetts. * Leah Anthony Libresco.

Le sacrifice de Livio Librescu C'est grâce au courage du professeur israélien Livio Librescu, que le tueur du Virginia Tech n'a pu assassiner une trentaine d'étudiants supplémentaires. Librescu a bloqué l'accès à sa salle de cours, pour permettre à ses étudiants de fuir par la fenêtre. Il en est mort, lui le rescapé des camps de la mort, le jour même de la commémoration de la Shoah. Tags: Livio Librescu Virginia Tech |

Librescu I was reading about one of the Professors at the college who was killed in the terrible massacre in the news today. He blocked the door with his body and took bullets to buy his students time to escape through a window, the man (prof. Liviu Librescu) was a holocaust survivor. I wrote this imagining what may have happened in his head when he decided to sacrifice himself for his students. I know this isn't what he was thinking but what would someone be thinking in those situations? Who knows. Either way the man is a hero and this is my tribute to him and his selfless act, so I'd appreciate NO political discussion in the comments. -James Doyle Tags: Virginia Tech Massacre Tribute Librescu |

Virginia Tech Hero was Holocaust Survivor - Liviu Librescu A Real Hero. Liviu Librescu (August 18, 1930 -- April 16, 2007) was a Romanian-born Israeli professor, whose most recent position was Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Tech, Virginia, USA. His major research fields were aeroelasticity and unsteady aerodynamics. He was shot and killed in the Virginia Tech massacre while holding off the gunman at his lecture hall entrance so his students could escape. Liviu Librescu was born in 1930 to a Jewish family in the city of Ploieşti, Romania. During World War II, his family was interned in a labor camp in Transnistria and then transferred to the ghetto of Focşani. He survived the Holocaust to become an accomplished scientist in Romania. Librescu studied Aerospace Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, graduating in 1952 and continuing with a master at the same university. He was awarded his Ph.D. in Fluid Mechanics in 1969 at the Academia de Ştiinţe din România. From 1953 to 1975 he worked as a researcher at Institute of Applied Mechanics, Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Aerospace Constructions of Academy of Science of Romania. Under the Romanian communist regime at the time, he was unable to move to Israel (make Aliyah). Eventually, the government permitted him to leave, but only after a direct request was made by the Prime Minister of Israel Menachem Begin to President of Romania Nicolae Ceauşescu. Librescu emigrated to Israel in 1978. From 1979 to 1986 he was Professor of Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering at Tel-Aviv University. From 1985 until his death, he served as Professor at Virginia Tech. Librescu received many academic honors during his work at Virginia Tech, serving as chair or invited as a keynote speaker of several International Congresses on Thermal Stresses and receiving several honorary degrees. He was elected member of the Academy of Sciences of the Shipbuilding of Ukraine and Foreign Fellow of the Academy of Engineering of Armenia. He served as a member on the editorial board of seven scientific journals and was invited as a guest editor of special issues of five other journals. According to his wife, no other Virginia Tech professor has ever published more articles than Librescu. Liviu Librescu was among the thirty-two people who were murdered in the Virginia Tech massacre on April 16, 2007. He was killed during a class in the Norris Hall Engineering Building by a student (Cho Seung-hui, 23). Librescu held the door of his classroom shut while Cho was attempting to enter it; although he was shot through the door, he was able to prevent the gunman from entering the classroom until his students had escaped through the windows. A number of Librescu's students have called him a Hero because of his actions, with one student, Asael Arad, saying that all the professor's students "Lived Because of Him". Librescu's son, Joe, said he had received e-mails from several students who said he had Saved their Lives and regarded him as a Hero whilst many newspapers also reported him as the Hero of the massacre. His death came on Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Day, also known as Holocaust Memorial Day. Librescu is survived by his wife, Marilena (née Semian), and his sons Joseph and Lionel. According to the family wishes, the body will be flown to Israel, where he will be buried.
