A week long series of events marking the 13th annual “Tolerance Week” in Sioux City begin on Monday.

Spokesman Bruce Miller says the first event is the screening of a documentary at 6;30 pm at Western Iowa Tech Community College:

OC………..following that. :11

Prinz was a young rabbi in Berlin in the 1930’s, who saw the civil rights of Jews being stripped away by the Nazis.

Expelled from Germany in 1937, Prinz came to the United States, where he witnessed racism against African Americans and realized the American ideal was not a reality for everyone.

Tuesday there are two events, beginning with an exhibit and luncheon at the Sioux City Public Museum:

OC…….attend the luncheon. :19

Photos by the late Vernon Tott, a Sioux City tank driver in the U.S. Army, who took photos of liberated prisoners at the Alhem German concentration camp will also be displayed.

Tuesday night at 6:30 in the Orpheum Theater lobby, Miller says a screening of the PBS documentary Violins of Hope: Strings of the Holocaust takes place:

OC….on the film afterwards. :09
