Bridges Academy: The Holocaust — Religious Questions

Location

Degheri Alumni Center, 120

Free

Historical events change things. Whether a world event like 9/11 or a personal event like the loss of a family member, we know that often an event marks the before and after of time. “Before that event, I thought … But now, after that event, I think …” The Holocaust of the Jewish people during World War II is one of those time-altering events. Both Jewish believers and Christians are called to reassess their traditional beliefs about God and about humans in light of Auschwitz. Explore these kinds of questions in a morning of reflection with Dr. Tobie Tondi, of the Department of Theology and Religious Studies.
