Join the WVU Student Grotto (Cave Club) and Monongahela Grotto Sept. 1 at 8 p.m. in Room 1021 of South Agricultural Sciences for an evening of discussion and reflection with Chris Nicola, the America cave explorer who brought to light the plight of five Jewish families who took refuge underground in a cave for over a year to escape the Holocaust. Parking is free. 

"I learned the Holocaust isn't one story of how six million people perished; it's six million individual stories," Chris Nicola said. 

The movie "No Place on Earth" is based on these discoveries and may be viewed for free on YouTube.
