WHO:
    3 Survivors to be interviewed.
    3 Holocaust historians to lecture:
    - Dr. Lawrence Baron, Professor of
      History, SDSU; Director of the
      Lipinsky Institute for Judaic Studies
    - Dr. John K. Roth, Russell K. Pitzer Professor
      of Philosophy at Claremont McKenna College
    - Karen Jensen-Germaine, senior researcher
      with Steven Spielberg’s Survivors of
      the Shoah Visual History Foundation

OVERVIEW:
    This multimedia presentation will feature
    interviews with three eyewitness survivors
    of Nazi concentration camps and prisons,
    presentations by three Holocaust scholars, and
    a historical exhibit on the subject of
    Jehovah’s Witnesses during the Nazi era.

    For educators, attendance at this special event
    will provide historical detail and valuable
    teaching aids that explain the role of these
    "other victims" of Nazism.  For all, the event
    will provide a powerful example of ordinary people
    who followed their conscience in the face of
    overwhelming peer pressure, intolerance, and hate.

VIDEO:
    The program will include a showing of the
    classroom edition of the documentary "Jehovah’s
    Witnesses Stand Firm Against Nazi Assault."
    The 28-minute documentary recounts the
    persecution of a small, historically unique
    religious group that refused to support Hitler’s
    regime.

    The "Stand Firm" film has been recommended by the
    Association of Holocaust Organizations and by
    San Diego City Schools.

EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS:
    Copies of the documentary video and a classroom
    study guide will be provided at no charge the day
    of the October 8th event to educators who request
    them in advance.

ABBREVIATED PROGRAM FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS:
    Admission: Free. Seating is limited.
    Where: Backdoor (in the Aztec Center at SDSU)
