On this day in 1971, the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar opened on Broadway. The Mardigian Library doesn't have any books, videos, or sound recordings from this hit musical. But, you can find them in MeLCat (see http://elibrary.mel.org/search). You can order books or audiovisual materials from another library in Michigan and have it delivered right to the Mardigian Library for pick-up. For more about MeLCat, see How to use MeLCat.

Wallenberg Author Morris Wolff to Appear at Henry Ford Centennial Library
On Thursday, August 2, 2012, attorney and author Morris Wolff will present “Exploring Raoul Wallenberg in History and Literature” at the Henry Ford Centennial Library. Wolff’s presentation is part of a weeklong celebration of what would have been Wallenberg’s 100th birthday. In 1983, Wolff filed an historic lawsuit against the Soviet Union on behalf of the family of Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who rescued tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews in 1944. Wallenberg then disappeared, most likely at the hands of Soviet authorities. 
The event is free and open to the public and runs from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Following his talk, Wolff will be available to sign copies of his book “Whatever Happened to Raoul Wallenberg?”. The book will be available for purchase.
The event is co-sponsored by the Dearborn Public Library, the Holocaust Memorial Center, the Mardigian Library, and Voice/Vision Archive at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The Henry Ford Centennial Library is located at 16301 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn, Michigan.
For more information on programming for the week, visit: http://holocaust.umd.umich.edu/wallenberg.pdf
