The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s traveling exhibition, “Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race,” will premiere on Thursday, April 25, at the Dean B. Ellis Library at Arkansas State University. The exhibit will run through June 16.

“Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race” examines how the Nazi leadership, in collaboration with individuals in professions traditionally charged with healing and the public good, used science to help legitimize persecution, murder and, ultimately, genocide.

The Women’s Council for St. Bernards Development Foundation will present the sixth annual Threads of Life Quilt and Fiber Arts Show on April 13 and 14 at St. Bernards Auditorium, 505 East Washington in Jonesboro.
