Relevant Religion Series

A Wednesday Evening Lecture Series on West End

with Jay Geller

Associate Professor of Modern Jewish Culture | Vanderbilt University

What’s in a name … or a date … or a number?

What are the meanings and implications:

• When someone speaks of the Holocaust, another of the Shoah, and a third of the Final Solution?
• When someone traces the attempted destruction of European Jewry back to the first century beginnings of Christianity, another to the 20 April 1889 birth of Hitler, and a third to the June 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union?
• When someone refers to The Six Million, another to an estimated 5,693,851, a third to around 11,000,000, and a fourth to maybe 250,000?

Let’s talk about it…
