The College of Arts and Letters continues its semester-long series, Commemorating 70 Years: The Liberations of Auschwitz and the End of the World War II Remembered, with guest speakers Harold Minuskin and Anne O’Byrne.
On Tuesday, March 31, Holocaust survivor and author Harold Minuskin will speak about his experiences and book My Children, My Heroes – Memoirs of a Holocaust Mother. As a Jewish child in Poland, Minuskin and his family survived by escaping into the forests and joining the Jewish resistance fighters. The event will be held at 6:30 p.m. in room 120 of the Liberal Arts building.
On Thursday, April 9, Anne O’Byrne will present “Genocide: A Crime Against Natality,” which explores anti-miscegenation laws, African enslavement in America, solitary confinement and other topics through the lens of natality, which holds that individuals are thrust into the world without the opportunity of choice.
