SHU students, you are the last generation of people who will be able to speak to a Holocaust survivor. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity, and I encourage you to blog your responses. Karissa did an excellent job responding to Dr. Mortensen's visit -- her post is an excellent model of a thoughtful, weighty blog entry. And thanks to Jen, who noted that the Trib's article on the holocaust conference called SHU a college.
PittsburghLIVE.com - Education conference to explore Holocaust
Since the Trib's article came from a press release supplied by SHU, I don't see a particular ethical problem with reproducing the schedule below:
These talks will be held at Cecilian Hall, on the college's campus in
Greensburg:
Jews and Judaism."
School?"
with Holocaust survivor Judy Meisel, filmmaker Laura Bialis and curriculum guide
co-author Kathleen McSharry.
Educational and Theological Challenge in the Third Millennium."
Guidelines for Owning the Intercultural Experience of Studying and teaching
about the Holocaust."
Other events are a gallery talk about the paintings of Anna Walinska with
curator Rosina Rubin, from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday in the campus's Harlan Gallery,
and a Kristallnacht Remembrance Service with Holocaust survivors Meisel and
Marga Randall, 4 p.m. Monday in St. Joseph Chapel.
All events are free. For more information call 724-830-1033, or check the
college's Web site at www.setonhill.edu.
