Kleinmann Family Foundation
Eleventh Annual Cégep
Holocaust Symposium
March 29 - April 2, 2004
Vanier College is proud to offer the following schedule of speakers,
films and events for the week of March 29- April 2, 2004. This year's theme
explores aspects of youth - how the Holocaust robbed people of their youth, how
young people then responded to persecution, threats and adversity, and how
young people today see their future in the light of their education in the
lessons of the past.
Please note: Any teacher who wishes to bring their class to any of these
events should contact Neil Caplan by email or by telephone at ext. 7152 to
ascertain whether sufficient seating exists or can be arranged.
