Dear All
Advance notice of two events at De Montfort University in November. (Part of
a general cultural events week - contact the university for a brochure on
0116 250 6199)
Disability & the Holocaust: A History Revealed
7pm, November 18th, Phoenix Arts, Leicester (0116 255 4854)
During the holocaust, Dr Josef Mengele, the infamous doctor of Auschwitz,
conducted notorious 'scientific ' experiments on thousands of victims of the
Nazi regime. Amongst these were the members of a Hungarian Jewish family of
actors and musicians, all people of short stature. Fifty years later this
story is revealed in the award winning film Liebe Perla. Chaired by Dr Simi
Linton, the programme will consist of an introduction, screening and panel
discussion about a lost history, that of disabled people in Nazi Germany,
and consider its relevance for contemporary society.
Disability Studies: Research Seminar
11am, November 19th, Clephan Building De Montfort University (0116 250 6199)
Disability Studies is explored and examined in this seminar by Simi Linton,
who is a long time disability rights scholar and the author of Claiming
Disability.
All are welcome! There is a charge for the first event (£3 I think), the
