Author
Laura Limonic offers a view into the lives of this designation of
Jewish immigrants, high-lighting the ways in which they adopt different
identities (e.g., national, religious, or panethnic) in response to
different actors and situations. Her book, Kugel and Frijoles: Latino
Jews in the United States analyzes the changing construction of race
and ethnicity in the United States through the lens of contemporary
Jewish immigrants from Latin America. Since Latino Jews are not easily
classified within the U.S. racial and ethnic schema, their ethnic
identity and group affiliation challenge existing paradigms. (Published
by Wayne State University Press)
Laura Limonic is an Associate
Professor of Sociology at the College of Old Westbury of the State
University of New York. Her research is in the area of contemporary
immigration to the United States and the integration trajectories of
ethnic and ethno-religious groups. Laura received her PhD in Sociology
from the CUNY Graduate Center in 2014. She has a Bachelor of Arts
degree in Latin American Studies from Brandeis University and a Master
of International Affairs degree from Columbia University. In addition to
academic research, Laura has an extensive background in public policy
research and advocacy.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Donations are welcomed. Guests will receive a private Zoom link so

Description:
In this lecture, Chad Gibbs (PhD Candidate in History at University of Wisconsin-Madison) discusses his research on the famous uprising staged by inmates of the Treblinka II extermination camp in late summer of 1943. He focuses on how studying the locations of "spaces of resistance" created by Jewish prisoners provides revelations about the roles of women prisoners in the resistance. He examines how his findings regarding women’s actions have prompted him to consider archival silences, masculinity, and the gender dynamics of Holocaust survivor memory and storytelling more broadly. He reflects on how survivor testimonies from the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive have contributed to his research.

With hate on the rise, it is important that schools have a framework to help students challenge bias.

With public displays of hate on the rise, it is more important than ever for schools to commit to programs that clearly define expectations in behavior for all members of the community and provide a framework in which you can design an approach to learning skills to challenge bias and bullying. During this webinar, learn more about ADL’s equitable school climate program for schools, No Place for Hate®, which will be adding new pre-approved activities in its online library to explore Holocaust education themes with your students and school community. Echoes & Reflections’ lead content developer will model these engaging activities on the topics of personal identity through the lens of the Holocaust, as well as propaganda and media literacy skills using the Holocaust as a case study.

Adio
Kerida is a documentary about the search for identity and history among
Sephardic Jews with roots in Cuba. The title is borrowed from a
Sephardic love song in order to highlight the themes of expulsion,
departure, and exile that are at the crux of the Sephardic legacy. At
the same time, the title invokes the creative energy that is injected
into a culture when it crosses racial, ethnic, and national lines. It
also has a personal dimension and references the desire for
reconciliation between the filmmaker and her Sephardic father.
Director/Filmmaker
Ruth Behar is the Victor Haim Perera Collegiate Professor of
Anthropology at the University of Michigan. The recipient of a MacArthur
Fellows Award, she is known for her interdisciplinary thinking about

Ruth frequently visits and writes about her native Cuba is the author of
An Island Called Home: Returning to Jewish Cuba and Traveling Heavy: A
Memoir in between Journeys.
This film will be followed by a Q&A with Dr. Ruth Behar.
