Oh, come on!

The last LeFrak lecture is tonight...and it's on the Holocaust. I read the description:
"The LeFrak Forum's "Religion and Modernity" lecture series continues on Monday, April 12 with a lecture by Professor Ruth Wisse of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University, at the Kellogg Center, 8:00 pm, in the Lincoln Room. Professor Wisse's lecture is titled: How God Survived Auschwitz: The Testimony of Yiddish."
Sounded like it mostly was going to be some fun linguistics stuff, very scholarly. And now I'm holding a page of Holocaust poetry in my hand, trying to not read it but knowing I'm about to be assaulted with emotional lecture.
Dagnabit.
