The recitation of names was one of many commemorative events across the world yesterday as part of Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Small groups gathered to listen to the recitation throughout the day, and even passers-by “slowed down to read the sign and see what was going on,” said Daniel J. Poppers ’06, another of the readers.
To illustrate his point, Pinsky gave an impromptu recitation of Ben Jonson’s “His Excuse for Loving.”
The day began with a public calculation of pi at 10 a.m. in front of the Science Center, followed by a pi recitation contest and a pie-eating contest later in the afternoon.
Leila A. Strachan ’04 won the pi-recitation contest, naming 208 digits—nearly three times what her closest competitors could recall.
