Film, panel shine light on Holocaust survivors
The award-winning documentary, Last Journey Into Silence, will make its Atlanta debut March 31 at 7 p.m. in the Carlos Museum reception hall.

The film documents the encounters between three women and their mothers—each of whom is a Holocaust survivor and has lived for decades in Israeli mental hospitals—and the difficulties that accompany their relationships.

Writer/director Shosh Shlam and Galina Lirzansky, daughter of one of the survivors, will speak and answer questions following the screening. They also will take part in a panel discussion, Monday, April 1 at 10 a.m. in 110 White Hall.

The film and the panel are sponsored by the Program in Comparative Literature.

Both events are free and open to the public. For more information, contact Cathy Caruth at 404-727-2262 or ccaruth@emory.edu.

Correction
In last week’s issue, Emory Report incorrectly reported that Benoit Mandelbrot, one of the University’s 2002 honorary degree recipients, had received the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in mathematics. ER also incorrectly printed the title of John Boli, professor of sociology. ER apologizes for the errors.
