[Off Topic] David Faber, Holocaust survivor, to lecture at UCSD tonight 8-10pm

I know this is last minute, and I'm sorry I didn't put it up sooner, but I thought I'd share this anyways, if anyone wanted to come:

HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR AND AUTHOR DAVID FABER TO SPEAK MONDAY EVENING, MAY 14, AT 8 PM IN PETERSON HALL 110.

Dear students,

I would like to invite you to a very special lecture tonight. For the past three years, Mr. David Faber,
Holocaust survivor, author, San Diego resident, and internationally honored speaker has been giving a
two-hour talk to my Humanities 5 class. There are very few Holocaust survivors left, and in a few years
there will be none: to see and hear Mr. Faber is a chance of a lifetime that no one after you will ever have.


Mr. Faber is no scholar, and in a sense he is just a regular person who got caught up in one of the most
horrific chapters of history. Yet he is also a brilliant, impassioned speaker, who always moves his
audiences. He spends all year traveling to speak across the country, and he never charges a fee for his
lectures-he simply wants to bear witness to the reality of the Holocaust and transmit his message of
tolerance to a new generation.

As an adolescent in Poland, Mr. Faber watched while the Gestapo brutally tortured his brother to death; he
hid in a secret room while his father, who was caught outside, was grimly axed to death; and he was later
saved by the falling bodies of his mother, sisters, cousins, aunt, and uncle as they were machine-gunned in
their living room. Then he went to the concentration camps, surviving seven of them, including Auschwitz,
Buchenwald, and Bergen-Belsen.

If you come to tonight's talk, you will never forget it. It is something you will be able to tell people
about in 50 years-and that's exactly why I bring Mr. Faber to campus.
After his talk Mr. Faber is always delighted to meet students, display his memorabilia, and sign copies of
his book, Because of Romek. A Holocaust Survivor's Memoir.

Please come. I promise you an unforgettable experience.


We had to read his book this weekend. It's very sad and incredibly powerful.
