University Temple United Methodist Church, 7:00 pm
1415 NE 43rd Street, Seattle
October 4th
University of Washington
Sieg Hall, Room 134 - 6:30 pm
Miko Peled is the son of the highly revered and influential Israeli General Matti Peled, architect and leader of the 1967 six-day war. His family was deeply steeped from the early 1900s in the Zionist concept of creating a Jewish state in Palestine. After the war, General Matti Peled made a plea for the "conquered" areas to be returned for the sake of security, equality, human rights and peace to the people from which it was taken stating that without doing so Israel would never have peace or security.
Miko Peled will speak about his personal journey and study of Israeli state archives to unveil and dispel the many mythical and commonly accepted "truths" about the history of the Palestine/Israeli struggle since 1947.
RSVP on Facebook. For more information please contact
Sponsors include: Jewish Voices for Peace, Mideast Focus Ministry at St. Mark's Cathedral, SUPER UW, The Palestine Task Force of the Church Council of Greater Seattle, Kadima, Episcopal Bishop's Committee for Israel/Palestine, Palestine Solidarity Committee, American Friends Service Committee.

Saturday, October 20 · 2 pm · Plestcheeff Auditorium, Seattle Art Museum
Free concert-with-commentary. On October 10th, Seattle Art Museum launches Elles, a landmark exhibition organized by the Centre Pompidou in Paris that explores how pioneering women artists have helped shape the major movements of modern and contemporary art. MOR's musical program features Letter to Warsaw, a musical portrait of one woman's intimate first-hand account of life in the grip of the Holocaust. American composer Thomas Pasatieri's powerful song cycle sets six texts that poet/cabaret artist Pola Braun wrote while in the Warsaw ghetto and in the Majdanek concentration camp, where she perished in 1943. It opens a window to the emotional life of all women trapped in the web of Holocaust tragedy, and tells a story reminding us that each victim of the Holocaust was an individual, not a statistic. Music sample here.
