O’Shea, author of “Women on the Row: Revelations from Both Sides of the Bars,” didn’t set out looking for cormections with women on death row. She wanted information about them - who they are and the ways in which they live from day to day. “I was writing a sociological reference book,” said O’Shea “a fairly safe, fairly emotionless endeavor.” However as she got to know the incarcerated women she was studying, what became clear to her were not their differences, but how in so many ways she and the women in prison were the same. O’Shea is the only person to have contacted every woman currently in United States prisons with a death sentence. “Women on the Row,” is O’Shea’s honest, startling and sometimes raw, sometimes radiant exploration of the places where doing heavy time and being free overlap. Neither a treatise against the death penalty, nor an apologia for female innocence, her book focuses on the interconnectedness of women’s lives. The author creates memorable composite portraits of ten death row women based on her conversations with them from information given to her, telephone calls and letters exchanged. O’Shea, a nun for 25 years, is a social worker who does research on female offenders, particularly women on death row. She is a teacher, writer, activist and lecturer. - more A member of the State System of Higher Education O’SHEA TO SPEAK AT EDINBORO Page Two She has also published “Female Offenders: An Annotated Bibliography,” and “Women and the Death Penalty in the United States: 1900-1998,” and is currently working on “Hymns of the Revolution,” a novel based on her memoirs of Chile, 1965-1973. -- O’Shea will share her experiences interviewing women on death row in the U.S. prisons.

This year’s program, “Jewish Trauma - Christian Tragedy,” will discuss the impact of the Holocaust on Jewish-Christian relations and will feature distinguished professor of Holocaust and genocide studies Dr. Franklin H. Littell. Littell, an ordained Methodist minister, is the distinguished professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. During Littell’s illustrious career, he served as a college professor, author and organizer of conferences and meetings as well as spending ten years in post-war Germany as the chief Protestant religious adviser in the American Zone. Littell’s pioneering book, “The Crucifixion of the Jews,” was the first Christian response to the Holocaust. It brought about a breakthrough by encouraging an entire new generation of younger theologians and scholars to rethink the meaning of the Holocaust, anti-Semitism, the survival of the Jewish people and the restoration of Israel. He has written over two dozen scholarly books and more than 1,000 major articles. In 1970, Littell fovmded the Annual Scholars’ Conference on the Holocaust and the Churches, the oldest continuing interfaith scholarly meeting of its kind in the world. No American theologian has done more than Littell in creating educational awareness of the Holocaust and strengthening the cause of liberty and individual responsibility in a democracy. - more - A member of the State System of Higher Education HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE ACTIVITIES Page Two • His continuous effort on behalf of human responsibility is a voice of conscience for people around the world. In addition to Littell’s keynote address, a remembrance service will be held at the Newman Center on Thursday, April 19, at 7 p.m. followed by “Man with a Mission,” presented by Les Banos. Banos, a Hungarian-born American, successfully infiltrated the German Secret Service as part of the Hungarian resistance during World War II. Although he was of Jewish descent, he was raised by his Lutheran aunt which kept his Jewish heritage shielded. His achievements included acquiring intelligence about Axis troop movements, forging safe conduct papers for citizens facing deportation, providing safe passage for downed Allied pilots and collaborating with Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who aided thousands of Hungarian Jews. Banos also witnessed Wallenberg’s capture by the Russians in 1945. The Holocaust Remembrance activities are free and open to the public.
