The Cottey College Department of Theater is hosting Dr. Shelly Cline, who will present a lecture on "Gendering in the Holocaust" Friday, Feb. 5, at 6 p.m. in the Missouri Recital Hall of the Haidee and Allen Wild Center for the Arts. The lecture is free and no tickets are required.

Dr. Cline has a Ph.D. from the University of Kansas where her research focused on the experience of the female perpetrators of the Holocaust.

Professor Laura Chaney invited Dr. Cline to give this address in coordination with the College play, "Who Will Carry the Word?," which is under the direction of Chaney. "Who Will Carry the Word?" is Charlotte Delbo's story of members of the French Resistance who struggle to survive in Auschwitz. The play will be performed on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 19 and 20, at 8 p.m. each evening in the auditorium of the Center for the Arts.
