Conrad Weiner, a Holocaust survivor, will share his story during a talk at 4 p.m. on Thursday, April 25, in the English Chapel at Ohio Northern University.
Weiner is a survivor of the forced labor camp Budi in Transnistria. After a brief occupation of the region by the Soviet Army in 1941, Romanian authorities in alliance with German forces started a massive campaign of annihilation and deportation of Jews to Transnistria.
At 3 1/2 years old, Weiner was forced into a labor camp. After a brief occupation, he and 300 other survivors of the camp were liberated and repatriated to Romania.
The talk is part of the Holocaust Day of Remembrance at ONU.
Last week it was daffodils. This week's new kids on the block are tulips, particularly the redish-pinkish variety. These beauties took over prime real estate in the railroad park, nearby last week's and now faded daffodils. See the next photo.

This scenario plays out all over the world, day after day. Things didn’t turn out as you had hoped.
Maybe you tried really hard to master a new skill or information, but didn’t pass the required test.
Maybe you asked a girl out and she turned you down. Maybe you entered a contest for a cruise, but didn’t get chosen.
Maybe you simply wanted to get from the office to your car without papers blowing everywhere. Somewhere along the way, things didn’t turn out as you had hoped.
