I am pleased to announce and invite all to attend the study day, Greeks and Jews during World War II, on April 14, 2015 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the Beck Rooms at Seton Hall University’s Walsh Library.
Through film, theatre exercises, stories and portions of their moral courage workshops, Isaac Dostis and Diana Sunrise Dostis will offer three sessions, which include “The Holocaust in Greece,” “The Righteous of All Nations” and “How We Might Prevent Another Holocaust.”
Isaac Dostis is a writer and film maker with a special focus on the tragic era of the Shoah (Holocaust) in Greece, and Diana Dostis is an award winning actress and member of the Actors Studio in New York City. Isaac and Diana are co-authors of three books: Ten Gold Medals: Glory or Freedom (2014), Greek Salad (2014), and Ioannina, My Ioannina (2015). They are also co-recipients of the Raoul Wallenberg Award and the Axelrod Award for Holocaust Educators, sponsored by New Jersey State Department of Education’s Commission on Holocaust Education. You can learn more about the Dostis’ films, books, workshops and plays, which have been presented in the United States, Canada, Israel and Albania, by visiting www.act1presentations.com.
