ANNUAL HOLOCAUST AND ARMENIAN GENOCIDE COMMEMORATION
The Aftermath of Genocide:
Maud Mandel, Ph.D.
Maud Mandel, Ph.D., is Associate
Professor of Judaic Studies and History
and Director of the Program in Judaic
Studies at Brown University. Her research
focuses primarily on the impact of policies
and practices of inclusion and exclusion
on ethnic and religious minorities in
twentieth-century France, most notably
Jews, Armenians, and Muslim North
Africans.
Armenians and Jews in 20th Century France
Professor Mandel will address the impact of genocide on
the religious, ethnic, and national affiliations of Armenian and
Jewish survivors in France, the only Western European nation
to provide homes to substantial survivor communities after
the first and second World Wars.
11.
The persecutions of World War I and II seemed to prove that
even modern, democratic nation-states could never really
tolerate ethnic minorities in their midst. Professor Mandel will
explore how survivor communities confronted the ideological
onslaught once the conflicts had ended.

LAKES URGENT CARE
When your health concerns can't wait.
I've heard that this spring is going to be especially worse for allergy and asthma sufferers.
What can I do to help manage my child's asthma?
Early intervention as symptoms progress really makes a big difference. Be on the lookout for nasal flaring. That's when your child's
nostrils kind of move in and out. It's pretty easy to see and that should tell you that she's working just a little bit harder than normal to
breathe. That's a red flag. If you see her starting to get into trouble, get out the inhaler or the nebulizer right away at home and consider
seeing your primary care doctor for an extra treatment. If the flaring doesn't stop and you can't get to your pediatrician, seek attention
at a qualified urgent care.
Make sure that you address environmental issues that can trigger an attack. Some kids with asthma do perfectly fine with dogs and
cats. Some do not because they have a combination of reactive airway disease, asthma and environmental allergies. Any one of those
elements independently might be just fine and kids can tolerate it, but when you add that all together it can be a one, two, three punch
that really puts them over the edge.
Whoever is managing your child's asthma is likely going to provide you with a roadmap of things that you should do on a regular basis
and things that you can do when you start to notice specific symptoms. Understanding the combination of things that can trigger an
attack in your child is another way to help prevent them.
Keep a log so that when you notice that your child has a particular problem, you may see some commonality between
the attacks. Is it something that they ate? Perhaps a new food allergy is triggering an attack. These are all possibilities.
It doesn't mean that they happen in every child, but if you pay attention, you'll find clues that can help you possibly
prevent asthma events from getting worse and having to go to an urgent care or an ER.
