Online Performance of Volume 2 of Songs from Testimonies
The Yale Institute for Sacred Music, Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale, and the Fortunoff Video Archive invite the public to an online performance of songs from the Archive's forthcoming recording Shray Hertsele Shray: Songs from Testimonies in the Fortunoff Video Archive, Volume Two.
The latest volume contains thirteen songs in three languages drawn from testimonies in the Archive. The second volume in this ongoing ethnomusicological project contains widely diverse compositions in multiple languages drawn from songs sung by survivors in their video testimonies. Collectively, these songs provide a multidimensional image of the lives of Holocaust survivors and the multiple identities they carried as Jews by faith and roots, and as European citizens. The widely diverse compositions presented on the album form a multidimensional image of the lives of Holocaust survivors, the multiple identities they carried as Jews by faith and roots, and as European citizens. Join them to hear this album performed and discussed by the Zisl Slepovitch Ensemble & Sasha Lurje.
This concert is possible thanks to the generous support of The Yale Institute for Sacred Music and the Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale.

Description:
Dr. Edith Sheffer shares her research on the true story of Dr. Hans
Asperger, whose groundbreaking work on children prompted a new era for
People with Disabilities. Dr. Sheffer exposes the connection between Dr.
Asperger's diagnosis and his complicity in Nazi racism and atrocities,
including the murder of children. Join us as we remember these children
and examine the role of medical collaborators during the Holocaust.
Edith Sheffer is a historian of twentieth-century German Europe and a prize-winning author. Her current book, Asperger's Children: The Origins of Autism in Nazi Vienna
was published in May 2018 with W. W. Norton. It investigates Hans
Asperger’s creation of the autism diagnosis in the Third Reich,
examining Nazi psychiatry's emphasis on social spirit and Asperger's
involvement in the euthanasia program that killed children considered to
be disabled. Her first book, Burned Bridge: How East and West Germans Made the Iron Curtain
(Oxford University Press, 2011), challenges the moral myth of the
Berlin Wall, the Cold War’s central symbol -- revealing how the Iron
Curtain was not simply imposed by Communism, but emerged from the
everyday actions of ordinary people. Sheffer's next book, Hidden Front: Switzerland and World War Two,
tells an in-depth history of a nation whose pivotal role remains
unexposed yet was decisive in the course of the Second World War.

Description:
18 Voices: A Liberation Day Reading of Young Writers’ Diaries From the Holocaust
More
than one million Jewish children were killed during the Holocaust and
countless others survived. Some, like Anne Frank, kept diaries in which
they confided their hopes, fears, and experiences. Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage on
International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and the 76th anniversary of the
liberation of Auschwitz, for a special virtual reading of excerpts from
these diaries. The excerpts will be read by actors and public figures
including Liev Schreiber, and featuring readings from Skylar
Astin, Andréa Burns, Mandy Gonzalez, Daniel Kahn, Adam Kantor, Telly
Leung, Stephanie Lynn Mason, Zalmen Mlotek, Amit Rahav, Eleanor Reissa,
Yelena Schmulenson, Alexandra Silber, Abby Stein, Danny Strong, and more. The evening's readings are curated by Alexandra Zapruder, the author of Salvaged Pages: Young Writers' Diaries of the Holocaust.
By
giving voice to the written words of some of the Nazis’ youngest
victims, the Museum of Jewish Heritage will commemorate their suffering and learn from their
courageous and resilient spirits.

Description:
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Holocaust Center for Humanity will honor the six million Jewish victims and millions of non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust, and our commitment to developing educational programs that help prevent future genocides.
Please join the Holocaust Center for Humanity for a special virtual performance of excerpts from the jazz opera Dear Erich, performed by Ted Rosenthal, composer and jazz pianist, and two Seattle area opera singers.
Dear Erich tells a refugee story for our times. Erich, a Jewish academic, escaped Nazi Germany to the U.S. shortly before Kristallnacht. The opera tells the story of a family’s dual fates: Erich’s journey to a new life in the United States, and his family’s persecution in Germany under the Nazis.
Dear Erich was inspired by letters written between 1938 and 1941 by Herta Rosenthal to her son Erich, the composer’s father.
This program is free to the public. You can support the Holocaust Center for Humanity by becoming an event Patron with a donation of $180. Your donation will support virtual programming forstudents, teachers, and the community. Patrons will be recognized on the event page and during the program.

Description:
Defining Genocide: Educator Workshop Part I
For most people, the word genocide conveys the worst crime humanity can perpetrate. But, what exactly is genocide? Raphael Lemkin, the Polish Jewish lawyer and activist who coined the term in 1944, defined genocide as “a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of ethnic and national groups, with the aim of destroying the groups themselves.” Lemkin helped usher in the UN Genocide Convention of 1948, an instrument of international law that codified for the first time this heinous crime, requiring states to take measures to prevent its recurrence and to punish the perpetrators.
This workshop will discuss the history and ramifications of the term genocide, and its applications across multiple cases, from the Holocaust to the Canadian Indian residential schools. They will also explore rationales for teaching about genocide, and share resources to help you achieve your goals.
Register here.
Sponsored by Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies at the University of Minnesota, Kupferberg Holocaust Center, Queensborough Community College & the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center, Cincinnati Ohio.
