Name Instead of Numbers International Travelling Exhibition


King's History Department is hosting Names Instead of Numbers, an international travelling exhibition in the Student Life Centre from November 5th - 14th. Explore a collection of biographies of former prisoners from across Europe who were deported to Dachau concentration camp between 1933 and 1945. The exhibition features 20 biographies from the Dachau Remembrance Book project, which was compiled by students and researchers on the basis of interviews with camp survivors and their relatives. The display banners include original documents and pictures. 

There will also be a film screening of The Ninth Day and a roundtable discussion on November 5th, 6-9pm in the Kenny Theatre. Join us for a Forum on Rights and Citizenship in War and Peace on November 11th, 5:30-8:30pm in the Student Life Centre.

Library Display 
The Cardinal Carter Library has a new display promoting the international travelling exhibition Names Instead of Numbers. The library display contains books from Montreal's Azrieli Foundation Series of Holocaust Survivors Memoirs, books written by Jewish Holocaust survivors who settled in Canada.

Submissions
Have an event at King's? Doing something extraordinary in the community? Send us an email or pop by Wemple 143A. Submissions are due Wednesday at noon.

Sincerely,
King's Communications Team

Advent Drive for Young Families

Imagine what it would have been like for Mary and Joseph: to be young, in a foreign land and with no place to give birth. Then imagine what an honour it would be to provide them with necessary provisions and refuge. For Advent, our faith community will be welcoming donations of diapers, clothing, sleepers and other items needed for the care of infants. Please bring your unwrapped and new gifts to honour the Christ-Child. Donations can be left at the side altar under the statue of St. Joseph. Your gifts will be given to the London Crisis Pregnancy Centre, to assist families who struggle with the financial obligations of raising a child.

 

Step Into Christmas

Step Into Christmas is our Christmas initiative in conjunction with our outreach program at the St. Joseph's Hospitality Centre. We invite you to fill shoeboxes with socks, gloves, hats, toiletries and other items for those who are in need. These boxes will be distributed to people during our December visit at the St. Joseph's Hospitality Centre. Shoeboxes can be left at Mary's altar, to the left of the main altar any time between now and December 10, 2014.
