Akron Public Schools has a new superintendent: Mary Outley. Outley is the second woman to have the job permanently — pending a successful contract negotiation with the board, which she said she expects to go well.

But dozens of their family members died in the Holocaust, the genocide that killed 11 million people, including 6 million Jews.
