Greater Lafayette Holocaust Remembrance Committee
Confronting Evil: Engaging Our Responsibility to Prevent Genocide
April 16, 2024 5:30 PM
Fowler Auditorium, Purdue University
Despite the post-Holocaust consensus that “Never Again” would the world allow civilians to be victims of genocide, the reality is closer to “Again and Again.” This presentation is grounded in the belief that preventing genocide is an achievable goal, but only if we have the collective will to do so. Each of us must accept our responsibilities as global citizens – in whichever role and place we find ourselves – to ensure that we prevent genocide from ever taking place, prevent further atrocities once genocide is occurring, and prevent future atrocities once a society has begun to rebuild after genocide. This presentation is part of the 2024 GLHRC Conference, "Preventing Genocide: What Can We Do?"

Purduettes Spring Spectacular
April 20, 2024 7:30 PM
Long Center for the Performing Arts, 111 N Sixth St, Lafayette, IN
The Purduettes were founded in 1942, during World War II, when members of the Glee Club were leaving for service so rapidly that the Glee Club schedule had to be curtailed. Al Stewart, the director of PMO, responded by forming an entertainment group of 13 young women who were chosen and organized as the Purduettes.
Al Stewart took the Purduettes on a tour of the East coast that included a performance at the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York. The Purduettes were a hit and began entertaining audiences nationwide. Stewart originally designed four costumes for the Purduettes including a simple black and white choir gown and the well-known white satin, off-the-shoulder formal gown.
Although Stewart restored the men’s Glee Club as soon as the war was over, the Purduettes had made their mark in history, and the women added a new flare to Purdue Musical Organizations. Even today, the Purduettes remain the choice group for many audiences.

The Weather Station
Solo Exhibition
Brad Stumpf
After a short break for renovations to the space, The Weather Station reopens March 8th with a solo exhibition of oil paintings by Chicago based artist Brad Stumpf.
Stumpf’s still life paintings record daily experiences, memories, and domestic life through a process of creating miniature dioramas from everyday objects. Like stage sets, these tableaux are painted from observation and portray objects the artist crafts from paper and other found materials- often organized on small surfaces, like side tables or drawers.
The Weather Station will bring together a group of Stumpf’s paintings for public viewing during the months of March-April, with a reception planned for Friday March 8th from 6-8pm.
