Hi Rosina: Dr. de Zayas also spoke at the University of Waterloo on Monday, March 22. The professor who introduced him said he initially thought the lecture hall that was booked would be too large. As it turned out, all 200 seats were filled and more chairs were brought in for people standing at the back. There were some German studies students but much of the audience consisted of local people who were victims of the expulsions. Here's a link to the article that appeared the day of the event. http://news.therecord.com/article/687051 Kathy Plourde ----- Original Message ----- From: <banat-request@rootsweb.com> To: <banat@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2010 3:02 AM Subject: BANAT Digest, Vol 5, Issue 86 > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
