Slippery Rock University will host its annual Holocaust Remembrance Program with a presentation by guest speaker Judy Batalion from 3:30 to 5:15 p.m. March 22 at the Miller Theater in the Performing Arts Center.

Batalion, a bestselling author, will present a talk based on her book, "The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos."

The event is free and open to the public.

In addition to Batalion, there will be a formal announcement renaming SRU's Holocaust Remembrance Program in honor of Richard Martin, the late SRU political science professor who started the program at the university in the 1990s. There will also be a Holocaust-related musical performance with flutist Kathy Melago, professor of music, and pianist Glenn Utsch, an assistant professor of music. Melago and Utsch will perform a piece composed by Dick Kattenburg, a Dutch Jewish composer killed in the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz.
