Yom HaShoah Sedarim: April 18, 2012
With the generous help of the Community Grants Fund of the Columbus Jewish Foundation, we will conduct two Yom HaShoah Sedarim (plural of seder). Modeled after the traditional Passover meal, the seder will be a narrative telling of the Holocaust. Participants will be taken back 70 years to the time of the Third Reich through story telling and symbolic food. This will surely be a night to remember for all who are involved. The content of each seder will be the same.
These events will include dinner and discussion.
Seder 1 will be held at Arps Hall room 274 and begins at 6:30 pm
Seder 2 will be held at OSU Hillel and begins at 6:30 pm

Combating Holocaust Denial: April 24, 2012
What is Holocaust Denial? Why do people deny the Holocaust? What do we do about it? Come learn the answers to these questions and more from Professor Deborah Lipstadt.
Professor Lipstadt is an American historian at Emory University and a leading scholar on the complex subject of Holocaust Denial. In the '90's, a Holocaust Denier sued her and her publisher for identifying him as a Denier in her book Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory. He sued her under British libel law, which is quite different than American law. Rather than than the denier proving she was wrong (as he would have in the US), she had to prove she was right. In 2000, they went to court where Lisptadt's defense proved that he intentionally falsified documents to come to a conclusion in which the Holocaust did not occur. History on Trial recounts this historic court case. You can learn more about Holocaust Denial on this website.
Professor Lipstadt's presentation is made possible by the Melton Center for Jewish Studies at Ohio State and the Campus Outreach Lecture Program of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, supported by the generosity of the Jerome A. Yavitz Charitable Foundation, Inc. and Arlyn S. and Stephen H. Cypen.
The event is free to students, brought to you by your Student Activity Fee, and $10 for community members on a first come first serve basis. Tickets are now available at OSU Hillel.
This event includes a lecture and dinner in the auditorium at Hillel.
Doors open at 6:00 pm and the lecture will begin at 6:30 pm.
