The National University Center for Cultural and Ethnic Studies is proud to present The Call of Conscience: A Voice from "The List," an evening with Leon Leyson, the youngest survivor from Schindler's List (the Jewish Holocaust), May 6, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Rex Phebus Veterans Memorial Building, 453 Hughes Avenue, Clovis, CA 93612.
Tickets are free and available at the National University Fresno campus. There is a maximum of five tickets per person.
Leyson was 13-years-old when he went to work for Oskar Schindler's enamelware factory in 1943, at the height of World War II. Schindler, a German industrialist, risked his own life to save more than 1,200 Jewish men, women and children. His story became an Academy Award-winning film, Schindler's List, directed by Steven Spielberg.
Leyson will share his own, heart-wrenching first-person person perspective of life within Schindler's factory, describing the hatred and loss he experienced, along with the compassion and grace of Schindler.
