Here is an update on activities related to the US Holocaust

Memorial Museum's Insights Series from last Thursday night,

when Harriet McBryde provided the Disability Rights

Perspective on the US Holocaust Memorial Museum's exhibition

" Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race " about Nazi medicine

and eugenics, as part of the Museum's Insights Series:

1) C-SPAN: Sunday Night, March 19 at 7 pm ET:

C-SPAN will broadcast the interview with Ms. by

USHMM Director of Oral History Joan Ringelhheim - who was

thought provoking, wise, and very respectful of the

disability perspective. Ms. was just being her usual

brilliant self, but the impact was stunning!

Be sure to tune in!
