[Stuart Levy via Peace-discuss]

_*Thursday May 8th 2014, 6-8pm in Lucy Ellis Lounge at the Foreign 
Languages Building (FLB), 707 S. Matthews Avenue, Urbana, IL 61801.*_

*The event is a screening of the documentary "Twice A Stranger"*: a 
cross media project about the greatest forced migrations of the 20th 
century, when millions of people were uprooted and moved to new 
homelands. Based on oral video testimonies, rare film archives and 
photos this project brings visitors face-to-face with the survivors of 
these traumatic events. From the Greek-Turkish exchange in 1922-24, 
"Twice A Stranger" travels to the German-Polish forced migration at the 
end of the Second World War, to the partition of India, and the Cyprus 
crisis in 1960s and 1970s. The documentary was screened at the Benaki 
Museum in Athens about a year ago and since then it has been shown to 
many different parts of the globe. You are all welcome!  Free pizzas and 
beverages will be served.

Sponsored by the Program in Modern Greek Studies.
