cTtjp Saily (Jar Uppl Events to Recognize Holocaust The Reading of the Names and a speech by a Holocaust survivor will highlight the week of remembrance. By Lauren Beai Assistant University Editor By offering students a chance to learn about the past, organizers of this week’s Holocaust Remembrance Week say they are hoping students will take away lessons about humanity for the future. “The purpose is twofold,” said Lisa Wald, co-chairwoman of Holocaust Remembrance Week. “In one sense, it’s backward-looking, remembering the past But it’s also about what can we get out of that what can we learn for the future.” The Carolina Union Activities Board and N.C. Hillel are sponsoring five days filled with activities and events. A highlight of the week will come Tuesday, when Jewish artist and Holocaust survivor Nelly Toll speaks about her experiences and artwork. Toll lived in hiding as a young child in Poland during the Holocaust, expressing her experiences through writings and watercolors. Some of Toll’s depictions - titled “Believing in a Better World” - are now on exhibit in the Student Union.

HILLEL Toll will also read the first names dur ing the fourth annual Reading of the Names beginning at noon Wednesday. For 24 hours, campus organization members. University officials and com munity leaders will take turns reading the names of Holocaust victims in the Pit. “In 24 hours, pretty much everyone on campus walks through the Pit,” Wald said. “You’re walking along and it’s a beautiful day and you’re laughing, and suddenly you hear these names. It kind of jars you, it kind of hits you.” Deborah Long, co-chairwoman of the week and CUAB member, said reading for 24 straight hours gave a sense of the number of victims. “It kind of gives you a perception on just the magnitude of this genocide,” she said. “Reading for 24 hours, with hundreds of people involved, only puts a dent in the picture.” The Reading of the Names and Toll’s visit are two highlights in the schedule of events that kick off today with a lun cheon with local Holocaust survivors. The luncheon will bring together 30 University students and administrators with a vari ety of Holocaust survivors from Raleigh and Chapel Hill -a woman who calls herself a “rescuer” because of her role in the French underground movement, a second-generation survivor and a man who experienced Kristallnacht. The week of events will culminate with Chain of Life, a fund-raiser for Kosovo refugees that Long said would end the week on a hopeful note. As part of the Reading of the Names, participants are asked to make a paper link that is joined with others and hung in the Pit. On Friday, students and oth ers will be able to add to the chain by giving a small donation toward an N.C. organization that aids Kosovo refugees. “It kind of unites memories of victims of the Holocaust with helping the victims of Kosovo now,” Long said. “This is a lit tle more optimistic, really bridging the gap between the past and the future.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

Spring Senior Week, sponsored by the Senior Class, will kick off at 7 p.m. tonight with an “Evening on the Hill,” a three-course meal at the Carolina Club that includes performances by the Clef Hangers and the UNC Gospel Choir. “Since approximately 250 people bought tickets for the dinner, we should get a good turnout (for all of the week’s activities),” said Senior Class President Danya Ledford. Favorite professors and senior superlatives voted on by seniors will be honored at an awards ceremony Tuesday at the Alumni Center. Journalism Professor Chuck Stone will speak during the ceremony. Senior Shawn Thompson said he planned to attend the “Last Blast” Wednesday at the Bell Tower. The event includes a barbeque lunch, prize give-aways, sumo wrestling and Bell Tower climbing. Thompson said he planned to take advantage of the free food on Wednesday but would not climb the Bell Tower. “It’s a little bit too high for me,” Thonfpson said. “But I’ll take pictures of other people who are (climbing).” Senior Play Day on Thursday at the Union Circle will feature a moonwalk, four square games, food and prizes.
