From the Daily Headlines e-mail of the University of Arkansas:
2. THE HOLOCAUST REMEMBERED: MORAL BANKRUPTCY
The Arkansas Holocaust Education Committee invites educators and students to their annual conference to be held November 14 at the Jones Center in Springdale. This year's theme is The Holocaust Remembered: Moral Bankruptcy. The deadline for registration is November 3, and the fee is $25, which includes lunch and snacks.
Each year the committee presents a conference to prepare teachers and students to more fully understand the impact of the Holocaust and apply it to educational curriculum in our schools. This year, national experts will examine how government-sponsored theft and economic policies caused the holocaust tragedy in Nazi Germany and occupied territories. The Jones Center is located at 22 W. Emma Ave., Springdale. If you are interested in attending please contact Barry Brown (575-2975; 750-4004; bbrown at uark.edu).
Here's a fuller announcement that seems somewhat unlike the first:
