(April 25, 2006)–The Baylor University for Jewish Studies hosts the
5th annual Holocaust Memorial Tuesday at several locations on campus.
At 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in Room 133 of the Marrs McLean Science Building,
speakers Amie Coomer, Dr. Chris Van Gorder and Dr. George W. Gawrych
take part in a panel discussion, “Religion and Genocide: Never Again?”
A music recital begins at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Great Hall of Truett
Theological Seminary and the film “The Armenian Genocide” will be
shown at 8 p.m. in room 133 of the Marrs-McLean Science Building.
All of the events are free and open to the public.
“The purpose of holding the event is to remember the Holocaust and
to remember the beauty of the lives of those who were affected –
not just the tragedy,” said Dr. Marc Ellis, director of the Center
for Jewish Studies.
“People should come to inform themselves, to remember and to confront
our own sensibilities in the world today.”
