Nov 9 and 11: a play, an exhibition, and two Kirschner talks

Two talks in one week….this is unusual, but here they come.

If you find yourself anywhere near the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, drop in please at James Madison University

I’ll be Visiting Scholar there on November 8 and November 9, giving a talk on Resistance and Heroism:  Mapping the Holocaust Story on November 8, and also visiting with a few literature and history classes.

Jill Vexler’s beautiful exhibit, which originated at the New York Public Library, will also be opening that week.  And I’ll be attending the first performance of Arlene Hutton’s play, Letters to Sala, on November 9, and doing a talkback afterwards with Arlene.

Once again, I will have that weird sensation of watching a play in which I am a character.  But with Arlene’s beautiful and skillful playwriting, and Roger Hall’s direction, I’m sure “Other Ann” is in good hands.

On November 11, I’ll be speaking a lot closer to home:  CUNY’s New York City College of Technology in Brooklyn.

City Tech is marking the anniversary of Kristallnacht and the 65th anniversary of the end of WWII.

The event is at Thursday, November 11, 1 p.m., and I’ll be speaking in the College’s Atrium Amphitheater, 300 Jay Street (at Tillary), in Downtown Brooklyn.

It will be my honor to be there with Nobel Prize winner Günter Blobel, MD, PhD, and Interfaith Committee of Remembrance (ICOR) founder and chairman Jerry Jacobs, and with organizer James Goldman.
