The Warsaw Ghetto: Memories of Horror | (42 min; 2021; English)

Director: Eric Bednarski

A DW DocFilm. A Polish businessman risked his life to film everyday life in the Warsaw Ghetto. These harrowing 8 mm movies were stored for decades in archives, and have recently been compiled in this documentary. The Warsaw Ghetto was located in the heart of the Polish capital. In November 1940, one year after Germany invaded Poland, the occupation authorities completed work on a three-meter-high wall that surrounded the ghetto. The Jewish residents were sealed off from the outside world. The ghetto was intended to serve as a concentration camp for Jews from all over Europe. They would later be deported to the extermination camp at Treblinka. As many as 500,000 people were rounded up and herded into the ghetto. The films shown in this documentary portray the daily lives of those who lived there.

Society’s deep impact on science, technology and innovation in India

Illustrated lecture by Dr. Pankaj Sekhsaria, Associate Professor, Centre for Technology Alternatives for Rural Areas (CTARA) & Associate Faculty, Centre for Policy Studies, IIT-Bombay

How does a lab create pioneering instruments in spite of resource constraints? How does a doctor-researcher engage with society that will let their girl child die because she might not be married in the future? What conversations might a modern nano-scientist have with a practitioner of ancient Ayurveda. Received wisdom tells us that scientific research and technological innovation brings drastic, even disruptive change and society has no option but to constantly adapt and evolve. The presentation is the story of these laboratories as well as the speaker’s own journey of engaging and understanding.

Member’s Lunch:  “PAN ASIAN”

From the bold aromatic flavours of Thai curries to the delicate fresh taste of sushi, Asian foods are popular around the world. Incorporating a healthy balance of colour and texture,   with a strong emphasis on vegetables of various kinds, seemingly exotic ingredients are turned into dishes simple and flavourful.  Traditionally, ingredients such as coconut milk and coconut oil are used as a substitute for dairy products, and herbs such as lemon grass and galanga are used for flavour. With rice, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, chilies, dried onions are created sweet-sour piquant salads and curries to tempt every palate. IIC has made special arrangements to serve “Pan Asian Cuisine” from 05th February (Friday) to 7th February 2021 (Sunday) (03 days) for its members. In addition our bakery chef will also be presenting special bakery items at the confectionary counter for bakery lovers.

The United Nations was established in 1945, in the wake of World War II,  " to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nation." It is necessary to examine to what extent the goals envisaged in 1945 have been realized 75 years later. We also need to figure out the challenges facing humanity in our times and to what extent the world body can meet those challenges.  A key question is what way the U.N. can be reformed and strengthened.
