Divided We Fall - Directed by Jan Hrebejk.
During World War II in Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia, a childless couple, hide in their tiny apartment, a young Jewish former neighbor who has escaped from a Nazi death camp, despite the danger to their lives. Their domesticity becomes tense when their friend, a collaborator, keeps dropping by for meals. We’ll see how people have to make unorthodox choices to protect their friends while they save their own lives.
Discussion after the film will be led by Sue Dye. Admission: $5 donation requested to cover the cost of coffee, soda, and popcorn.

Conversation with the Leader: Back to Basics
Wednesday, May 7

Room 514
Felix Adler made few institutional proclamations, focusing his considerable energies instead on a unique and inseparable joining of individual and social ethics. But in the above quoted advice he puts forth the formula that guided the Ethical Movement through its formative stages: What are the social wants, what are our capabilities, and how can we best give expression to our ethics toward social reform? How can we best make our strengths count in a world in desperate need of moral anchorage? All members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
