Today’s Untold Story of Central Minnesota is Part 2 of Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack’s interview with Professor Jud Newborn in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. St. Cloud State University’s Center for Holocaust and Genocide Education will host Newborn in Ritsche Auditorium on Wednesday, January 24 at 7:00pm for his presentation titled “Speaking Truth to Power: The White Rose Student Anti-Nazi Resistance–and Heroes in the Fight for Human Rights Today.”
Newborn will also be at the University of Minnesota at the St. Paul Student Center Theater on Thursday, January 25 at 7:00pm with the same lecture.
While Part 1 of our interview dealt mostly with the history of the White Rose movement in Nazi Germany, Part 2 touches Newborn’s personal connection to the Holocaust and his work in Poland during the Solidarity Movement in the 1980s; plus, we talk about trends within our current day political culture as well as modern “White Rosers” who are defying tyranny right now.
Jud Newborn’s book, “Sophie Scholl and the White Rose” has also just been rereleased as a 75th Anniversary Edition in honor of the execution by guillotine of the members of the White Rose in 1943.

For the longest time, the White Rose movement was a ghost, lost within the history of World War II, but the lessons learned from this non-violent, University of Munich student resistance group resonate today within all those who stand up for freedom and a kinder humanity despite the risk to themselves.
Jud Newborn’s book, “Sophie Scholl and the White Rose” has also just been rereleased as a 75th Anniversary Edition in honor of the execution by guillotine of the members of the White Rose in 1943.

In the final installment of the Untold Stories of Central Minnesota for 2017, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack talks with Leslie LaCuyer, Executive Director for the Central Minnesota Arts Board. The CMAB has just wrapped up another round of awarding Project Grants to various arts organizations around the central Minnesota area, and the impact of these 23 Legacy funded events and programs will be felt both on our city streets and out in our local cornfields.
From dance to poetry, from elementary aged children to senior citizens, and from dinner theater to festivals that celebrate our common roots, the work that the Central Minnesota Arts Board is promoting through their use of MN Arts and Cultural Heritage funding is diverse, poignant, and probably coming to a community organization near you!
