Description:
With The Girl Bandits of the Warsaw Ghetto: The True Story of Five Courageous Young Women Who Sparked an Uprising, Holocaust historian, archivist, and history blogger Elizabeth R. Hyman adds a new dimension to the story of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during World War II, shining a long overdue spotlight on five, young, Polish Jewish women who helped lead the Jewish resistance, sabotage the Nazis, and aid Jews in hiding across occupied Poland and Eastern Europe. Known as “the girls” by the leadership of the resistance and “bandits” by their Nazi oppressors—they were central to the Jewish resistance as fighters, commanders, couriers, and smugglers.
Hyman will be in conversation about her book with Lori R. Weintrob.
Elizabeth R. Hyman is the descendant of Polish Jews who fled Europe in 1939 and made their way, as refugees, to the United States. She earned dual master’s degrees in History and Library and Information Science from the University of Maryland-College Park, and has written the history blog, “HISTORICITY (was already taken),” since 2011. She lives in New Paltz, New York. For more, visit: https://www.instagram.com/historicity_wasalreadytaken/.
Lori R. Weintrob is a Professor of History and Director of the Holocaust Center at Wagner College, in Staten Island, NY. She has connected Holocaust survivors with over 30,000 youth of all faiths to fight antisemitism and all forms of prejudice. She has received awards for interfaith community-building, including from the Albanian-Islamic Cultural Center, the Pride Center, CANVAS and the Jewish Community Center. In 2019, she was named a Staten Island “Women of Achievement” and serves on the boards of Staten Island Women, Inc. and VISIONS. Her most recent book is entitled Heroines of the Holocaust: Reframing Courage and Resistance in Genocide (with Routledge Press, co-author Judy Tydor Baumel-Schwartz). She received her B.A. from Princeton University and her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Description:
Art Spiegelman’s Maus: A Survivor’s Tale, marks an important rupture in the lineage of survivor testimony. It presents a narrative of survivor testimony through the lens of an adult child of a survivor in a highly unorthodox medium, an early example of the graphic novel or commix format.
In 1974, Mark Podwal — noted author, illustrator, and physician — created a spare, illustrated Book of Lamentations. This complete English translation is graced with 28 black and white reflections, on the tragic text.
Artist and author Richard McBee will discuss both of these works.

Alfred Münzer was born in 1941 to a Jewish family during Nazi Germany’s occupation of the Netherlands. Trying to keep the family safe, his parents arranged to go into hiding separately from Al and his two older sisters. Al was just months old when he was placed with a Dutch Indonesian family and their Muslim nanny, who cared for him for nearly three years.
After the war, when Al reunited with his mother at three and a half years old, he did not remember her. Watch Al talk about his experiences and what happened to the rest of his family.
