The Jewish Orphanage in Leiden was the last one of 8 such care homes to open its doors in The Netherlands before the Second World War. After spending almost 39 years in an old and utterly inadequate building in Leiden’s city centre, the inauguration in 1929 of a brand-new building, shown on the front cover, was the start of a remarkably productive and prosperous period. The building still stands there, proudly but sadly, to this day: the relatively happy period lasted less than 14 years. On Wednesday evening, 17th March 1943, the Leiden Police, under German instructions, closed down the Orphanage and delivered 50 children and 9 staff to the Leiden railway station, from where they were brought to Transit Camp Westerbork in the Northeast of the country. Two boys were released from Westerbork thanks to tireless efforts of a neighbour in Leiden; one young woman survived Auschwitz, and one young girl escaped to Palestine via Bergen-Belsen. The 55 others were deported to Sobibor, not one of them survived. Some 168 children lived in the new building at one time or another between August 1929 and March 1943. This book reconstructs life in the orphanage based on the many stories and photographs which they left us. It is dedicated to the memory of those who perished in the holocaust, but also to those who survived. Without them this book could not have been written.

NTNU WriteFest 2020

October is when the NTNU University Library usually offers physical writing events, assisting students with academic writing. For obvious reasons this was not possible in 2020, so we decided to create a digital event instead. We wanted to gather students who needed motivation and inspiration, and lecturers and librarians who could help, on the same platform at the same time. Our intention was to create a feeling of interdisciplinary community among the students as well as the employees, even though we weren’t in the same place physically. Not only did we want to reach out to all NTNU students across Norway, but also include the international students located abroad.The festival took place 12-16 October 2020 in The Virtual Library in Zoom (NTNU Universitetsbiblioteket, 2020), established during the lockdown in the spring of 2020. Events took place during the entire week, with the main event on Wednesday evening. The program focused on academic writing and related topics. We had lectures and courses with multiple internal and external contributors from NTNU, in addition to other services we offered during the week and evening. Parts of the event were also streamed to Facebook. There were a lot of firsts in the making of the festival. A digital writing festival for all students at NTNU had never been done before. The project group also consisted of members from different cities and departments and met only through online meetings. Working digitally presents new and other options when it comes to digital solutions and how to work together. In this presentation we will talk about our experiences, the do’s and don’ts we made along the way, and during the event. Things that work fine physically do not necessarily function well digitally.

NILAI-NILAI PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DALAM BUDAYA SADRANAN DI DESA NGIJO KECAMATAN GUNUNGPATI KOTA SEMARANG

Despite the development of increasingly modern era, traditional ceremonies which are a noble culture still play an important role in the society live. One of them is Nyadran culture, it has meaning for society since it contains Islamic moral values. This culture is an acculturation of Javanese-Hindu culture with Islam. Islamic education plays an important role in human life. We as Muslims should apply the Islamic values in our daily lives as a guide to reach happiness living in the world and the hereafter. Many teenagers in high school age are reluctant to carry out congregational prayers in mosques, they prefer hanging out and riding out their motorbikes, parents' advice is no longer ignored. This is a moral decline in society that appears today. This research is a qualitative-descriptive. The techniques of data collection were interviews, documentation and observation. Data analysis techniques were data reduction, data presentation, conclusion and verification. Meanwhile, to test the validity of the data, we used data triangulation and member checking techniques. The results of this study showed that the Nyadran culture is a process of sending prayers to ancestors who have passed away. This culture has been conducted by the society from generation to generation from their ancestors. The ceremony is held in Rajab, Thursday wage night Friday Kliwon. The first process that society do in this tradition is cleaning the grave, then praying together on Wednesday evening which starts at 24.00, followed by slaughtering goats on Thursday morning, after that the core of Nyadran process is praying together, recitation and distribution of food and meat goat Keywords: The Islamic Values of Sadranan Culture Abstrak Meskipun perkembangan zaman semakin modern, upacara tradisional yang merupakan budaya luhur masih memegang peranan penting bagi sebagian masyarakat dalam kehidupannya. Upacara tradisional yang memiliki makna serta nilai-nilai pendidikan Islam didalamnya salah satunya adalah budaya Nyadran. Budaya nyadran merupakan akulturasi budaya Jawa-Hindu dengan Islam. Pendidikan Islam sangat berperan penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Nilai-nilai ajaran Islam seharusnya kita terapkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari sebagai pedoman untuk menuju kebahagiaan dunia dan akherat. Semakin merebaknya sistem perjudian di wilayah Ngijo, anak seusia SMP sampai SMA enggan untuk melaksanakan melaksanakan sholat berjamaah di masjid, mereka lebih suka untuk nongkrong dan motor-motoran, nasehat orang tua sudah tidak dihiraukan lagi. Inilah salah satu bentuk kemerosotan akhlak di masyarakat yang muncul saat ini. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif-deskritif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah wawancara, dokumentasi dan observasi. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan reduksi data, penyajian data, kesimpulan dan verifikasi. Untuk menguji keabsahan data menggunakan teknik triangulasi data dan member check. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa budaya nyadran adalah suatu proses mengirimkan doa kepada para leluhur yang sudah meninggal dunia yang sudah berlangsung secara turun temurun dari nenek moyang. Waktu pelaksanaannya pada bulan Rajab, hari kamis wage malam Jum’at kliwon.
