X-Ray Project coming to San Jose

The X-Ray Project, an exhibit documenting the impact of terrorism on ordinary people through anonymous X-rays of its survivors, will be on display in the Martin Luther King Library at San Jose State University from Nov. 5 to 16. The library is located at 150 E. San Fernando St., San Jose.

The artist, Diane Covert, collected X-rays from the two largest hospitals in Jerusalem and displays them without disclosing any personal information about the victims.

Co-sponsors of the exhibit are Students for an Open Society, Radiology Interest Group at Stanford, Chabad at Stanford, Jewish Community Relations Council and StandWithUs.

The X-Ray Project was shown at Stanford last month.
