Description:
Seventy-five years after the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps there
are not many witnesses left. The Holocaust is fading from living
memory…and denial is growing.
Recent studies indicate that the
majority of young adults in the US are unaware that 6 million Jews were
killed in the Holocaust. And 23% believe the Holocaust is a myth. This
livestream will address this disturbing news and discuss ideas for
educating young people about the truth.
3 Generations is launching
a 75th Anniversary commemoration initiative that will start with a livestream conversation. The focus will be on the iconic film German Concentration Camps Factual Survey (GCCFS) and its relevance today. It will be hosted by award-winning New York Times Columnist, Roger Cohen.
Panel
includes Clara Citron, a junior at NYU and the granddaughter of three
Holocaust survivors, Stephen Smith, UNESCO Chair on Genocide Education,
Lina Srivastava, Founder, CIEL | Creative Impact & Experience Lab,
and Jane Wells from 3 Generations.

Description:
The Gross Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies invites you to a discussion British Fascist Women, the Anti-War Campaign, and Antisemitism, presented by Julie Gottlieb, Professor of Modern History, University of Sheffield - UK.
Professor Gottlieb will be in conversation with Ellen Ross, PhD, Professor Emerita of History and Women's Studies at Ramapo College who has written widely on British Women’s History.
In the 1930s, Sir Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists (BUF), despite never having more than 50,000 members and never having one of their number elected to Parliament, sucked a great deal of oxygen out of the British political atmosphere. Within the BUF, women played a significant role, accounting for 25% of its membership and participating in all of its activities, including as Blackshirts and in the paramilitary Women’s Defence Corps.
This is precisely the terrain that Julie Gottlieb has studied over the years, from her book-length studies, Feminine Fascism: Women in Britain’s Fascist Movement, 1923–1945 (I. B. Tauris & Co., distributed by New York, St. Martin’s Press, 2000) and ‘Guilty Women’, Foreign Policy and Appeasement in Interwar Britain (London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2015) to several subsequent articles in leading scholarly journals.
Julie Gottlieb completed a Joint B.A. in English and History at McGill University (Montreal) before going to Britain where she completed an M.Phil. and a PhD at the University of Cambridge.

Description:
People with physical and mental disabilities were the Nazis' first
victims of mass murder. Seeing them as a threat to “Aryan genetic
purity,” the Nazis deemed these Germans "unworthy of life." But most of
these early victims of Nazism remain anonymous. Laws protecting medical
records conceal the identities of many of the 250,000 people murdered by
doctors and nurses in this program. As the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum recognizes
#DisabilityAwarenessMonth, learn the stories of some of the victims
whose names a German doctor has brought to light in order to confront
the past sins of his profession.
SpeakerDr. Patricia Heberer Rice, Senior Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
ModeratorDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Watch live at facebook.com/holocaustmuseum.
You do not need a Facebook account to view their program. After the
live broadcast, the recording will be available to watch on demand on

Description:
The Dismantling Bias: Antisemitism, White Supremacy, and Inequality Virtual Lecture Series explores the origins of racist ideologies and the construction of bias; examines the evolution and repercussions of antisemitism and white supremacy throughout history; and deconstructs the ways in which stereotypes, misconceptions, and prejudices shape contemporary society and culture.
Led by renowned historians, authors, and activists, the Dismantling Bias Virtual Lecture Series confronts the devastating consequences of racial bias while encouraging viewers to access and challenge their own bias. Through critical conversations and open dialogue, participants will consider their role in the anti-racism movement and everyday actions they can take to dismantle inequality.
Dr. Robert Williams is Deputy Director for International Affairs at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and a U.S. delegate to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, where he chairs the Committee on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial. He is also a member of the steering committee to the German government’s Global Task Force on Holocaust Distortion. Robert advises several international bodies on issues related to Holocaust remembrance and antisemitism, and he is currently overseeing a major international initiative that assesses those laws and regulations that seek to curb denial of genocide and the Holocaust. Robert’s research specialties include German political culture, US and Russian policy, and contemporary antisemitism. Outside of work, he is co-editing a volume for Routledge on the history of antisemitism.

Description:
Elizabeth will share the story of her maternal grandfather, Rudolph (Rudy) Herz. Rudy was born in Germany but escaped with two of his brothers after being arrested and jailed following Kristallnacht. His mother and brother could not obtain visas and were sent to Belzec where they were murdered in the gas chambers.After a multi-year journey traveling the world to get to safety, Rudy ultimately made it to the United States, where he was reported as a spy for the Germans. He was drafted into the U.S. army, only to be sent back to Europe to fight the Germans. He was part of the troops that landed on the beaches of Normandy during the D-Day invasion. Elizabeth’s grandparents rarely discussed their past. As her grandfather always said, "you always look forward, and never look back. However they remained tied to their German heritage throughout their lives.Elizabeth KamensElizabeth became a 3GNY speaker through WEDU in 2017. She is proud to be a part of such an inspiring and important organization and honored to keep the legacy of her grandparents alive, informing students about the Holocaust, and the effects hate and injustice can have on the world. Her grandfather always said, "at the end of the day, all you have is your character." Elizabeth's grandparents' experience instilled in her an awareness about the negative effects of complacency, and their stories of survival encouraged her to pursue a job where she could help others and have an impact on society. She is committed to pursuing justice through the course of her work. Elizabeth graduated from The George Washington University with a degree in Political Communication and holds a J.D. from Drexel University School of Law. She serves as an Assistant District Attorney in Bronx County, New York City, where she is in the Trial Division and handles serious violent felony cases.

Description:
Over the past 75 years, since World War II, the Arab world has been transformed by a massive demographic un-mixing, as their Jewish communities largely left for Israel or elsewhere. What place do the few remaining Jews have in Arab societies? What memories do Arabs have of the Jews who used to live among them? What legacy remains of centuries of coexistence among Muslims, Christians, and Jews? How have the cataclysmic events of the mid-20th century, namely the Holocaust and the establishment of Israel, transformed historical attitudes?
These are some of the questions which three experts in the field will discuss: Aomar Boum is a socio-cultural anthropologist at UCLA, whose work has focused on the anthropology and history of Jewish-Muslim relations from the 19th century to the present. His books include Memories of Absence: How Muslims Remember Jews in Morocco. Robert Satloff, Executive Director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, has written extensively on Jewish-Muslim and Arab-Israeli relations. His books include Among the Righteous: Lost Stories from the Holocaust's Long Reach into Arab Lands. Mehnaz Afridi, author of Shoah through Muslim Eyes, is Director of the Holocaust, Genocide & Interfaith Education Center at Manhattan College, where she teaches Contemporary Islam and the Holocaust. The moderator is Elizabeth Thompson, Mohamed S. Farsi Chair in Islamic Peace at American University.
