Blessed is The Flame [TESC]

May 17, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

What does it take to resist in absolutely futile and overwhelming situations? Inside of the Nazi concentration camps, places designed to eradicate all possibilities for resistance, inmates organized, sabotaged, and reflexively fought back against their oppressors. Within each of these stories we can find spirit of anarcho-nihilism, a tendency that challenges us to translate our feelings of hopelessness into wild and joyous forms of attach. The author of the recently published book “Blessed is the Flame” will join us for a presentation about resistance inside of the Nazi concentration camps, and a discussion about how nihilist ideas can help us relate these stories to our current struggles.
