Atlanta Public Library & Museum present a visit with Michael Rothberg March 25

[March 15, 2013]  ATLANTA -- On March 25, the Atlanta Public Library's Worldviews Book Group -- which has been studying the Holocaust this year -- will present a special evening with Michael Rothberg, founder and director of the Holocaust, Genocide and Memory Studies Initiative at the University of Illinois. Rothberg will discuss the importance of preserving memories of the Holocaust and answer questions about the role genocide continues to play in the world today.

The program will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the North Greens Golf Course in Atlanta. It is free.

A professor at the University of Illinois, Rothberg is a well-known teacher and writer, and this program is a rare opportunity for members of the public to meet informally with an expert whose insights into one of the world's most significant events promise to be informative and thought-provoking.
