Media And The Shoah

Noted local journalist to speak at
Holocaust Memorial Center.

T

hough history has witnessed
many unspeakable horrors,
only once has a highly cultured,
highly technological nation attempted the
"scientific" murder of an entire people —
and nearly succeeded.
Though what happened is still in the
living memory of millions today, millions
of others are growing
up with only a vague
idea of what occurred,
jeopardizing human-
ity's vow of "Never
Again:'
Jack Lessenberry,
head of the journalism
program at Wayne State
Jack
University, will look
Lessenberry
at the media's role in
the German genocide
and what lessons can be learned from it.
He'll talk on "The Media Today — And
Why the Holocaust Still Matters" at 11
a.m. Sunday, April 26, at the Holocaust
Memorial Center, 28123 Orchard Lake Road
in Farmington Hills. Admission is free.
Bagels and coffee will be served begin-
ning at 10:15 a.m. RSVP by email to
specialevents.wayne.edu/guystern-2015

ho is the most influential
Jew in history? That is, of
course, a most debatable
question. This month marks 136 years
since the birth of one person who is a
candidate for the title; especially since his
work affects all of us on the planet today:
Albert Einstein.
Einstein was born March 14, 1879,
in Ulm, Germany. Although one of the
greatest minds in the history of the
world, along with such scientists as Sir
Isaac Newton and Galileo, his early career
was unremarkable. Nevertheless, he soon
established his general theory of relativity
in 1905 — E=MC 2 — which is one of the

most significant, if not the most impor-
tant, law of the science of physics ever
developed. He won the Nobel Prize for
Physics in 1921.
Einstein immigrated to the United
States in 1933 for political reasons as
Adolf Hitler and the Nazis established
control over Germany. He became a U.S.
citizen and remained in America until
he died at age 76 in 1955. Einstein was
working on a speech to commemorate
the seventh anniversary of Israel as
he suffered a fatal illness. His name is
mentioned in hundreds of issues of the
