Braunstein, Stavisky present resolution to QCC center for work on behalf of Comfort Women.

State Assemblyman Edward Braunstein, D-Bayside, and state Sen. Toby Stavisky, D-Whitestone, presented Queensborough Community College's Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives with a resolution on Wednesday.

The elected officials, who were joined by Assembly members Ron Kim and Charles Lavine, honor the center for its ongoing work on behalf of Comfort Women, who were women and girls who were forced into prostitution by the Empire of Japan, beginning in 1932.
