MONDAY 0725 John C. MacManus soldier’s lot during wartime is risk, fear and death. These troops are trained to believe that the side they fight for is morally right, allowing for no doubts about the justification of the killing their government has ordered them to do. But the end of II in Europe presented a select group of sol-
diers with something their training hadn’t prepared them for. When the Ohrdruf concentration camp was captured by merican soldiers in pril 1 5, they saw firsthand the atrocities the azis had committed. These horrors may have proved the morality of the llied side, but that knowledge paled in light of the inhumanity the soldiers were forced to confront. istorian John C. McManus examines the lives of these first responders after they faced the ultimate evil in his new book, Hell Before Their Very Eyes. e discusses and signs his work at p.m. tonight at St. Louis County Library eadquarters 1 0 South Lindbergh Boulevard, rontenac 1 - 00 or www.slcl.org . dmission is free.
TUESDAY 0726 The Illusionists John Keats wrote the immortal line, “beauty is truth, truth beauty,” but apparently the advertising industry doesn’t read much poetry.

The documentary The Illusionists reveals the tricks used to catch our eyes and influence our buying habits, featuring some egregious and absurd examples to help us consumers break the habit. The Illusionists screens at p.m. tonight at the Missouri istory Museum Lindell Boulevard at DeBaliviere venue www.mohistory.org as part of the ongoing exhibition Little Black Dress. dmission is free, and Maryville University assistant professor Rebecca Dohrman will lead a discussion on the topic.
