The community is invited to attend programs offered by the College of
Saint Elizabeth during the 20th annual College of Saint Elizabeth Week of
Holocaust Remembrance in the week of November 9th, 2009.  On Monday
evening, Nov. 9th (7:30- 9:15 p.m.), New Jersey residents George Greene
(Caldwell, NJ), who was a child in Vienna, Austria during Kristallnacht,
and Fred Heyman (Morristown, NJ), who was a child in Berlin, Germany at
that time, will share their Kristallnacht experiences on this 71st
anniversary of that day/night.  On Wednesday evening, Nov. 11th (7:3 -
9:15 p.m.), there will be an Interfaith Dialogue Program with three
outstanding theologians (Rabbi Irving "Yitz" Greenberg, Fr. John
Pawlikowski, and Dr. Henry "Hank" Knight) who will speak about
post-Holocaust theology in a dialogue "Challenges and Opportunities in
Interfaith Dialogue Today".  These programs are free and open to the
public; dessert receptions following the Monday & Wednesday evening
programs. There also will be an art exhibit of Jersey City artist Aileeen
Bassis' Holocaust Books, and opportunities to sit in on classes taught by
College of Saint Elizabeth faculty that Week.

In its 1994 law mandating education about the Holocaust and genocide in NJ
schools, the Legislature stated that New Jersey is proud of it diversity,
but upset when acts of intolerance and racism take place here; they
indicated that education about the Holocaust and other genocides was
needed.

It would be our honor to have members of the NJ history community come out
to join us for these special programs.
