Tue 1 Feb. January 11 – April 12, 2011 Fighting the Fires of Hate On May 10, 1933, German university students launched an “Action Against the Un-German Spirit” targeting authors ranging from Helen Keller and Ernest Hemingway to Sigmund Freud. Americans quickly condemned the book burnings as antithetical to the democratic spirit. The exhibition Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings focuses on how the book burnings became a potent symbol during World War II in America’s battle against Nazism, and concludes by examining their continued impact on our public discourse. . 851 N Maitland Ave, Maitland, 32751. 407-628-0555.

No matter how prepared one is, or how open to new experiences, or how much one is willing to be free of all past cultural bonds, India will astound you with its size, its volume and its interminable diversity. Colorful, pungent, boisterous, musical, exotic - India is one of the most intricate and complicated dramas ever to be performed on the world’s stage. Nepal, conversely, is lofty and elevated, spiritual and sacred, nature’s ultimate spectacle. Nothing in this subcontinent is as expected and the only thing that can be anticipated is that the unimaginable will come to be. Buenos Aires. Carla, 877-826-4647. Travel Jewish - [email][events]
