Holocaust Film
Must Be Seen
The BBC on Twitter asked its "one big
question" on the 70th anniversary of
the liberation of Auschwitz: "Is the time
coming to lay the Holocaust to rest?"
On the same night, HBO aired a
documentary, Night Will Fall, that was
hidden from the world for 70 years. We
saw thousands of dead and the almost
dead, many of them our Jewish ances-
tors, strewn on the ground, thrown into
mass graves, and heard the testimony of
those who lived through the Holocaust
and those who witnessed this barbarity
for the first time.
Even with the famous Alfred
Hitchcock hired as a director of the
concentration camps footage, politics
still silenced the horrific truth the world
barely knew. British politicians were
concerned that Brits would feel sympa-
thy for Holocaust survivors and push
the government to accept thousands of
Jewish immigrants — and so the movie
was shelved.

Are You An Activist
Or Just A Slacktivist?
The Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic
Studies at Wayne State University
announces a lecture by Professor Howard
Lupovitch, director of
the center and associate
professor of History at
Wayne State University.
The lecture is titled
"Activism, Not
Slacktivism:'
"Slacktivists rehash
problems;
activists

solutions,"
said
Lupovitch
Lupovitch.
He will also the examine the complexity
of prioritizing between specifically Jewish
This is the kind of apathy that allows
genocide and terror to flourish.
Today, we read about the horrors in
Syria, anti-Semitic violence all across
Europe, and Islamic terrorists randomly
killing Christians, Yazidis and Muslims
— and yet the U.N. only criticizes Israel.
And we watch our own president, des-
perate to negotiate with Iran, refusing to
admit that terror and Islamic extremism
are linked.
The BBC is not alone in its desire to
forget about the Holocaust and pretend
that the horror and hatred that's flour-
ishing around the world is better left
unreported.
That's why we must watch Night Will
Fall, never let the Holocaust "rest" and
pay attention, no matter how painful, to
the "Never Again" horrors that still hap-
pen again and again.

causes and other causes, and the challenge
for Jews outside of Israel of engaging the
policies of the State of Israel.
Lupovitch's talk will be the second in a
series of text-based lectures on the theme
"Being Jewish in the 21st Century: New
Challenges, New Opportunities" and is co-
sponsored by Hillel Day School, Miriam
and Fred Ferber, and the Cohn-Haddow
Center. Each lecture's content is indepen-
dent of the others.
The lecture is free and will take place
7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11, at Hillel Day
School, 32200 Middlebelt, Farmington
Hills. Childcare is available free of charge.
RSVP is appreciated but not required.
