Programs honor International Holocaust Remembrance Day

The Martin Springer Institute at Northern Arizona University is presenting two programs in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Jan. 27.

• Film: 'Into the Arms of Strangers'
  1 p.m. Friday, Jan. 27, Liberal Arts Building (#18), room 301. Free.
  In the months before World War II, an extraordinary rescue operation aided the youngest victims of Nazi terror. The Kindertransport effort transported 10,000 children from German-held lands to foster homes and hostels in Great Britain. Most never saw their parents again.
  
  This Oscar-winning film features archival footage and gripping remembrances by the child survivors, rescuers and parents of the heroic Kindertransport. Guest Ruth Dixon, a Sedona resident who experienced the Kindertransport firsthand, will also speak.
• International Holocaust Remembrance Day Program
  7 p.m., Friday, Jan. 27, Ashurst Hall (bldg. #11). Free.
  Candle lighting commemoration, Holocaust survivor testimony and readings from I Never Saw Another Butterfly, a book of poems and pictures drawn by the young inmates of the Terezin Concentration Camp.
