Children in the Holocaust movie screening

Co-produced by Roman Kent and narrated by Liv Ullman, Children in the Holocaust is an examination of the plight of Jewish children in the Holocaust, from the viewpoint of those children – now adults – who survived. The survivors tell of groups of terrified children being caught smuggling food into the Warsaw Ghetto, the intense anti-Semitic air that permeated pre-war Eastern Europe, and most painful of all, their experiences in the concentration camps.

All-Campus Mindfulness: Weekly Meditation in Mead Chapel

12:15 PM ET

Sponsored by:: Charles P. Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life

In light of the seemingly constant news regarding natural disasters, violence and political unrest around the world, we are instituting a weekly quiet half-hour for anyone in the campus community to come together for lightly guided meditation or quiet reflection during this time. Led by the dean of spiritual and religious life and invited guests.

No experience is necessary. Please enter quietly. All are welcome.

May we be together in both the tumult and in quietness, committing ourselves to the change that the world needs.
