"ETERNAL TREBLINKA" COMING TO UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA

On Wednesday November 5 at 6:30 pm at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Animal Activists of Alachua will be hosting a presentation by historian and Holocaust educator Dr. Charles Patterson, author of Eternal Treblinka.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

     On Wednesday November 5 at 6:30 pm in the Rion Ballroom of the Reitz Union at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Animal Activists of Alachua will be hosting a presentation by historian and Holocaust educator Dr. Charles Patterson, author of a book called Eternal Treblinka. The book, which draws its title and inspiration from the writings of the Nobel Prize winning Yiddish author Isaac Bashevis Singer, focuses on the connections between Hitler's Final Solution and the industrialized slaughter of animals.

     Eternal Treblinka explores many of the ideas first suggested by Singer and focuses on one main thesis: because humans and animals are similar in so many ways (both can feel physical and emotional pain), cruelty to either cannot be eliminated without doing away with cruelty to both.

     Please join Animal Activists of Alachua for Dr. Patterson's intriguing and important talk on November 5 at 6:30 pm in the Rion Ballroom of the Reitz Union. Visit AAA's webpage for more information at www.animalactivists.org

     In addition, Dr. Patterson will be holding a book signing at Goerings Bookstore (Westgate location) on West University Avenue on Tuesday Nov. 4 at 8pm.

     Copies of Eternal Treblinka are on sale at the UF bookstore in the Reitz Union and at Goerings.
