Subject: Oct 21 Breaking the Silence Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 15:30:01 -0500 Message-ID: <D48A6EB6D9D4DB469DE4AE97AFE8220701479C68@COKE.uwec.edu> From: "Kaldjian, Paul J." <KALDJIAN@uwec.edu>
Dear Colleagues,
As I presented at the SFPJ meeting last week, we will be bringing
another set of Israeli young people to campus to give a presentation on
October 21. These two are in their early 20s and are organizers of and
participants in the exhibit that opened last year in Tel Aviv called
Breaking the Silence: the Combatants' Story. The event was reviewed
internationally -- I am sending you a couple of links and reviews from
the NYTimes, the Washington Post and the Guardian.
The two Israelis will not be bringing the exhibit itself, but will use a
DVD to show images and testimonies from the exhibit, will talk about
their own experiences, and then discuss them. They are traveling the US
from Coast to Coast, and will be coming to us from Chicago. I have an
auditorium reserved on Campus (the one in Schneider). I have not
finalized things, but I am thinking of having two presentations -- one
in the afternoon for students (3:00ish?) and another in the evening
(7:00ish?) for the Eau Claire community. Any thoughts? I will try and
finalize the times next week, so that we can formally begin the
promotion and publicity. For now, I wanted to get the date and
background to you. Please share throughout the community to anybody you
feel would benefit from a heads-up: Veterans for Peace, Women in Black,
faith groups, etc.
I am requesting money from a couple of sources on campus, but am still
searching for another few hundred dollars -- any suggestions for sources
of support?
I expect this to be an exciting event.
Thanks,
