P AGE 4 N OVEMBER 2014 SPECIAL ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS by John Keeny Sunday, November 16 10am in the Chapel Our church is privileged to host Charlotte Bonelli. She is the Head Archivist of the American Jewish Committee in New York. Ms Bonelli is the author of the acclaimed Exit Berlin and is in Columbus for a series of lectures and appearances at Ohio State, King Avenue, and Jewish organizations. Her visit is sponsored by the Melton Center for Jewish Studies, the Department of History at Ohio State, and King Avenue. Exit Berlin is unique in that it presents the conversation between American and German Jews in the late 1930 s and early 1940 s as the situation in Germany deteriorates. Usually the American voices are not documented. It tells the true story of a young, immigrant Jewish woman s effort to save her extended family when she has essentially no resources in America. On Sunday, November 16, at 10am, we shall hear her presentation at King Avenue on The Importance of the Family during the Holocaust. Obviously this is a special opportunity for our church. Her book will be on sale in the milling area on November 9. Also her lectures to the OSU History of the Holocaust class on Monday, November 17, at House 1 at the Gateway Theater, at 1:50-3:10pm; and at the Jewish Community Center, 1125 College Avenue 43209 at 7pm are open to the public. Visit www.exitberlin.org for more details.
