Video of Memorial for Jonathan Schell



Memorial for Jonathan Edward Schell (August 21, 1943 -- March 25, 2014) at Unitarian Church for All Souls in Manhattan, June 12, 2014.

Schell was author of many books including Fate of The Earth described by Kai Erikson in The New York Times as "a work of enormous force" and "an event of profound historical moment.... (I)n the end, it accomplishes what no other work has managed to do in the 37 years of the nuclear age. It compels us - and compel is the right word - to confront head on the nuclear peril in which we all find ourselves."
