Members of the MCC family and community are invited to remember and honor Holocaust victims and survivors today at MCC’s
23rd annual Yom HaShoah Commemoration
NEVER AGAIN: HEEDING THE WARNING SIGNS
Thursday, April 11 beginning at 9:30 am; concluding at 3 pm with a viewing and discussion of the film Schindler’s List
R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center
Hosted by the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Project
Yom HaShoah (or “Holocaust Remembrance Day”) gives students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to meet, hear from, and reflect on the testimony of local Holocaust survivors. Each year, we lose more survivors, and the chance to hear these stories directly from those who experienced the horrors of the Holocaust is being lost, as well. Today and always, the lessons of the Holocaust (including issues of ethics, psychology, the creation of narratives, etc.) are extremely relevant in a variety of disciplines and courses.
Please join us as we honor and remember.
