Annual Hornstein Lecture: Never Again, Yet Again - A Personal Struggle with the Holocaust and Genocide - Apr 10th!


The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education would like to invite you and your students to attend “The Annual Hornstein Lecture: Never Again, Yet Again: A Personal Struggle with the Holocaust and Genocide” on Sunday, April 10, at 10 a.m. at Wise Temple. 

Stephen Smith, the executive director of the Shoah Foundation Institute at the University of California, will speak on his personal journey as a Christian who confronted anti-semitism and the Holocaust, and the ways in which it has changed his life. He will ask in what way the 52,000 testimonies of Holocaust survivors in the Shoah Foundation archive can act as a powerful conscience for our age, whether their voices will be sufficient to curb the ongoing tide of violence, or if there is a role we all can play to reduce human suffering.

As part of the Racial Awareness Program, we invite you to explore these challenging questions with us. Gaining insight into the Holocaust has enormous implications for modern day genocide, and can help to bring about peace and justice in the world today.

For more information or to RSVP, please contact Frances Donohue at 513.487.3055 or fdonohue@holocaustandhumanity.org. Wise Temple is located at 8329 Ridge Road, Cincinnati, OH 45236.

Sincerely,
 The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education
