TOPIC: Human Rights
As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights celebrates its 60th anniversary, events in the Balkans, Sudan and Myanmar continue to challenge its idealism, while raising new questions about the prospects for humanitarian interventions.

She decides to step into the lives of others around her to help them out.

Film: Angels of Austria
7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Filmmaker Judy Faust presents her documentary, "Angels of Austria:  The Church that Reached Out to Holocaust Survivors" on International Holocaust Remembrance Day

The film chronicles an Austrian church's attempts to reverse centuries of anti-semitism in their hometown by inviting Jewish Holocaust survivors formerly of Wiener Neustadt to return for a Week of Reconciliation in 1995. Judy Faust accompanies her mother, Trudy, and together they embark on an emotional roller coaster ride of grief, compassion, and healing. Christians and Jews explore their painful pasts while creating historic milestones they hope will mark an era of friendship and understanding. But how will Judy's mother forgive the descendants of the Third Reich when she hasn't even forgiven herself for not saving her father?
Q & A with Judy Faust to follow screening.

PORTRAITS OF IMPRESSIONIST ARTISTS
Renoir, Degas, and Cassatt
 Join Judy Schurgin, a longtime lecturer at the Wayland Public Library, to view and discuss the many works of these three influential Impressionist artists. Step into the world of color and gaiety with this series devoted to three late nineteenth century Impressionist artists who painted in France. Auguste Renoir produced gorgeous shimmering light filled paintings of parks, bathing establishments, dance halls, dancers, women and young children. Edgar Degas captured the spirit of modern life by creating scenes of practicing ballet dancers, people sitting in cafes, horses racing, musicians performing, women at their toilettes, and laundresses washing clothes. Mary Cassatt, the first American female artist to exhibit with the French Impressionists, depicted women in a variety of roles, including caring for children, attending the opera, drinking tea, writing letters and communing with nature. All three artists were very diverse and worked in a variety of media.

PORTRAITS OF IMPRESSIONIST ARTISTS
Renoir, Degas, and Cassatt
 Join Judy Schurgin, a longtime lecturer at the Wayland Public Library, to view and discuss the many works of these three influential Impressionist artists. Step into the world of color and gaiety with this series devoted to three late nineteenth century Impressionist artists who painted in France. Auguste Renoir produced gorgeous shimmering light filled paintings of parks, bathing establishments, dance halls, dancers, women and young children. Edgar Degas captured the spirit of modern life by creating scenes of practicing ballet dancers, people sitting in cafes, horses racing, musicians performing, women at their toilettes, and laundresses washing clothes. Mary Cassatt, the first American female artist to exhibit with the French Impressionists, depicted women in a variety of roles, including caring for children, attending the opera, drinking tea, writing letters and communing with nature. All three artists were very diverse and worked in a variety of media.

The Floating Admiral: The 20th Century Mystery Novel
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Offered by Michael Halpern and Arlene Weiland
Beginning in the 1920's and 30's, the British became the sovereign masters of the mystery novel. The impulse driving the flourishing of the genre in England was the challenge to formulate the most ingenious murder possible, while allowing "fair play" so that (in principle) the astute reader could deduce the identity of the murderer. But as with any iconic genre, change came to the classic British mystery as well. By reading selected mysteries from different eras, and even from different countries, we will follow the evolution of the genre into a form that would be scarcely recognizable by its original practitioners.

ON THE FRINGE OF THE HOLOCAUST
George Brawerman
George grew up in Belgium and spent the war years under German occupation. He will recount some of his experiences as a target of Nazi persecution, with emphasis on what it feels to be in hiding, in constant danger of being caught. He will also address, from his own perspective, the apparent acceptance of many Jews to be led to slaughter without offering any resistance.
Upon arriving in the United States in 1949, George embarked on an academic career as a biochemist at Columbia, Yale and Tufts Medical Schools. After retiring, he pursued his interests in writing and photography.
