Description:
|
A secret plot under the
terror of Nazi occupation is
the presentation by
researcher and author Sam
Kason Tuesday, February 28,
at 7 p.m. in Albion
College's Bobbitt Visual
Arts Center. Kassow's
presentation, "The Secret
Archive of the Warsaw
Ghetto," is sponsored by the
College's Holocaust Studies
Service Learning Project.
Professor of history at
Trinity College, Kassow is
author of "Who Will Write
Our History? Rediscovering a
Hidden Archive from the
Warsaw Ghetto." His book
tells the story of a
clandestine group of Jewish
scholars who chronicled the
sufferings of Warsaw Ghetto
residents in the last days
before the Ghetto's
destruction. Thousands of
pages of these documents,
buried in milk bottles and
tin cans, continue to
provide historian with
invaluable information.
This presentation is free
and open to the public. For
more information, contact,
Albion College's Ford
Institute at 517/629-0368.
