<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">During World War II, a group of poets, artists, and historians in the Warsaw Ghetto buried thousands of documents attesting to their suffering and resistance as Jews under Nazi rule. Professor
James Diamond, Chair of Jewish Studies at the University of Waterloo, will give a talk on a recovered manuscript of weekly sermons delivered in the Ghetto by a Hasidic rabbi desperately trying to preserve his faith in the face of unimaginable loss and pain.
It is a rare testament to one human being’s struggle with the incomprehensible evil of the Holocaust.<br>

<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In the Children's Best Interests</span></em>. After the dust settled at the end of WWII, 700,000 displaced persons remained in the American occupation zone in Germany. Among them were 40,000 unaccompanied children
- children orphaned or separated from their families by the war. Without legal guardians, these children had no one to protect or advocate for them. For the agencies responsible for their care, they were a complex problem which took years to sort out. Their
story still resonates today.<br>
