The Homewood Public Library will host a special event in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
"On the Possibilities & Limits of Forgiveness" will be held in the Large Auditorium beginning at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 28.
A panel will be answering the question raised in Simon Wiesenthal’s book The Sunflower: You are a prisoner in a concentration camp. A dying Nazi soldier asks for your forgiveness. What would you do?
The panel consists of Ann Mollengarden, a survivor’s daughter and researcher for the Alabama Holocaust Education Center; Chris Berdy, a 2G survivor and a lawyer interested in post-war justice and working to bring stolen artwork back to its rightful Jewish owners; Rabbi Weinbaum of Chabad and Rabbi Friedman; and The Rev. Katherine Harper, Associate Rector for Pastoral Care & Liturgy at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. Each participant will answer the question about the possibilities and limitsof forgiveness in light of their own life experiences.
