"Embers from the Ashes: a Girl's Holocaust Diary"
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
7:30 PM
Aronoff Center for the Arts, 5/3 Bank Theater
Corner of Main & 7th Street
Cincinnati, OH 45202
"Embers from the Ashes: a Girl's Holocaust Diary," written by Kalman Kivkovich and directed by Tom Manning; a world premier staged-reading performance sponsored by Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative and Cincinnati Arts Association. The play is loosely based on a recently found journal. A 14-year-old Israeli girl discovers having a sister who had perished in the Holocaust. Decades later, in 2006, she learns that a Polish woman had found her sister's notebook, but kept it a secret for 61 years. A flashback takes us to 1942, Nazi-occupied Bedzin, Poland. We stay with a family who faces foreseeable destruction. We witness the struggle of an adolescent coming of age in the foreground of formidable evil. It echoes the voices of a million and a half Jewish children who didn't live to tell their stories.
Tickets are $7 and can be purchased in advance at the Aronoff Center Box Office: 513-621-2787. or online at

Tickets are limited.

We are proud that we can now offer additional options: our international MBA program and our undergraduate communications program (which also will be launched in October 2007).
We would be grateful if you would join our efforts to promote this exciting new program throughout the Jewish world by promoting it in your community.

University of Devner Graduate School of Social Work - Certificate in Jewish Communal Service
To work effectively as a professional in the Jewish community today requires unique skills, as well as knowledge of, and sensitivity to, Jewish culture. While some professionals may have an informal understanding gained from personal experience, few receive graduate level training that focuses comprehensively on the issues, areas of knowledge and competencies needed for Jewish communal work. Based upon the concept of Tikkun Olam (“repairing the world”), the Certificate in Jewish Communal Service (CJCS) will provide students with knowledge about the social, historical, political and religious dimensions of the Jewish community and will teach critical skills needed to work successfully in this field.
Offered in collaboration with the University of Denver Center for Judaic Studies, the CJCS adds two specialized courses and several leadership seminars to the MSW curriculum. It also includes a field internship offering opportunities for practice within Jewish communal organizations and/or congregations.
For more information about the Certificate in Jewish Communal Service, contact Lorie Bohm Klumb (303-871-7462 or lklumb@du.edu), program coordinator.
