Stripped of family, friends, pos- sessions and freedom, she lived to tell her story, a story she tells eloquently and power- fully in One Survivor Remembers. A Polish Jew, Gerda Weissmann lived six years under German rule. It was a time when Jews were stigmatized, discriminated against, harassed and beaten. Their houses of worship were burned; their places of business, looted. They were driven from their homes, imprisoned in ghettos and forced to work in slave-labor camps. And they were murdered — some where they lived, town by town, person by person; others in death camps, where millions were gassed in an assembly-line process that mimicked the great factories of industrialized Europe.

    Title Summary Review Between Shades of Gray Bluefish

    Title Summary Review Sepetys’ first novel offers a harrowing and horrifying account of the forcible relocation of countless Lithuanians in the wake of the Russian invasion of their country in 1939. In the case of 15-year-old Lina, her mother, and her younger brother, this means deportation to a forced-labor camp in Siberia, where conditions are all too painfully similar to those of Nazi concentration camps. By Ruta Sepetys: In 1941, fifteen- Lina’s great hope is that somehow her father, who has already been arrested by the Soviet secret police, might find and rescue year-old Lina, her mother, and them. A gifted artist, she begins secretly creating pictures that can—she hopes—be surreptitiously sent to him in his own prison brother are pulled from their camp. Whether or not this will be possible, it is her art that will be her salvation, helping her to retain her identity, her dignity, Lithuanian home by Soviet guards and her increasingly tenuous hold on hope for the future. Many others are not so fortunate. Sepetys, the daughter of a Lithuanian and sent to Siberia. refugee, estimates that the Baltic States lost more than one-third of their populations during the Russian genocide. Though many continue to deny this happened, Sepetys’ beautifully written and deeply felt novel proves the reality is otherwise. Hers is an important book that deserves the widest possible readership. *William C.

    Exhibition Preview

    Exhibition Preview Big blue skies, rugged canyons, loyal horses, damsels in distress, ruthless gunslingers, savage Indians and handsome but tormented men wearing cowboy hats. Yep, that just about describes the premise for many western films and televisions shows of Hollywood’s golden age. This exhibition peels back some of the history, mythology and popular culture layers to reveal the Western genre as ongoing narrative source for scholars, artists and film makers. The artworks, memorabilia, music and historical displays celebrate the nostalgia tied to the western genre and expose the facts and fiction about morality, race relations and economics in a complicated story that is the history of the American West. Featured Artists: Dick Ayers, Thomas Hart Benton, Charles Braden, Brose Brothers Productions, Anne Coe, Rita Consing, Dwayne Hall, Luis Alfonzo Jimenez, Richard Lillis, Lon Megargee, Ed Mell, Douglas Miles, Mark Newport, William Clinton Schenk and Fritz Scholder. Thank you: ASU Art Museum, ASU Center for Film and Popular Culture, Rolf Brown, Michael Collier Gallery, Michael Ging, Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, Phoenix Film Festival, Tempe History Museum and Dr. Larry and Holley Thompson. The following slides highlight some of the contemporary Arizona-based artists in the exhibition. Rita Consing, Phoenix Rita Consing The Lone Ranger and The Lone Ranger 2, 2017 acrylics on canvases Consing is a Philippine American artist. Her father was an artist and the family spent a lot of time traveling the world. She was exposed to a lot of different cultures and recalls being influenced images of Ninjas, Samurais and Bruce Lee in Asia while enjoying the American comic books and western reruns like “The Lone Ranger” in the West.

Faith Under the Fedora: Indiana Jones and the Heroic Journey Towards God Abstract This essay explores how the original Indiana Jones trilogy (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade) work as a single journey towards faith. In the first film, Indy fully rejects religion and by the third film he accepts God. How does this happen? Indy takes a journey by exploring archeology, mythology, and theology that is best exemplified by Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces. Like many people who come to find faith, it does not occur overnight. Indy takes a similar path, using his career and adventurer status to help him find Ultimate Truth. Keywords Indiana Jones, Steven Spielberg, Hollywood, Faith, Radiers of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Author Notes Chris Yogerst teaches film and communication courses for the University of Wisconsin Colleges and Concordia University Wisconsin.
