Description:
2021 Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Annual Lecture “Working through the Past”: German Efforts to Face Their Nazi History
Dr. Susan Neiman, director of the Einstein Forum, addresses how the
German government and its citizens reckoned with its Nazi past and the
Holocaust. She chronicles the struggles Germany experienced as its
population grappled with their own belief in German victimhood at the
close of World War II, along with the realization that the Nazis had
systematically victimized, persecuted, and murdered Jews, Sinti-Roma,
Germans with disabilities, and Eastern Europeans. Examining the process
of reconciliation and compensation over five decades, Dr. Neiman will
discuss how cultural shifts, memorialization efforts, and educational
changes brought the Holocaust to the forefront of national conversations
in Germany.
SpeakerDr. Susan Neiman, Director, Einstein Forum, Potsdam, Germany
ModeratorDr. Ray Sun, Associate Professor of History, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington

studies at Yale University, as he outlines the nature of the oppression in that
historical experience, and the resistance posed to those oppressive acts.

Center (KHC) and National Endowment for the Humanities Colloquium entitled,
"Internment & Resistance: Confronting Mass Detention and
Dehumanization," and is presented in partnership with the Asian American /

Description:
Poland has long struggled to come to grips with its role in the
Holocaust. Its 2018 law banning statements that accuse the Polish state
and nation of complicity in Nazi crimes was just one act of many in its
history of obscuring the participation of Polish collaborators in the
murder of Jews. Dr. Jan Grabowski, a distinguished Holocaust historian,
has been an outspoken critic of Poland’s distortion of history,
subsequently facing harassment and even death threats. Join the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum for a
discussion of the politics of Holocaust memory in Poland and the
consequences of burying the past.Jan Grabowski is a Professor of History at the
University of Ottawa and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. His
interests focus on the Holocaust in Poland and, more specifically, on
the relations between Jews and Poles during the war. Professor
Grabowski’s book, Hunt for the Jews. Betrayal and Murder in
German-Occupied Poland was awarded the Yad Vashem International Book
Prize for 2014. In 2020, Grabowski was appointed a Distinguished Fellow
at the Institut für Zeitgeschichte in Munich, Germany. His most recent
book, On Duty: The Role of the Polish “Blue” Police in the Holocaust,
was published in Poland in March 2020.Generously supported by Julie Meetal Berman and Dr. Joseph M. Berman, MD, in memory of Les and Magda Mittelman.Register here. Space is limited! Please register for one ticket per device used.The conversation will take place on the online platform Zoom. A link to join will be sent to registered guests via email one hour before the start of the program.

Description:
Through Their Eyes is a project that Sandy has been very instrumental in creating. It involves the second generation and/or others who knew the survivor in the telling of their parents' or friend's survival stories. Using excerpts of her father's recorded testimony, together they will tell his story of growing up in Germany under the rise of Nazism & Hitler. The hatred, prejudice and apathy that each survivor endured during the Holocaust forged a legacy that is embodied in the lives of the second generation and in their children. This legacy is a valuable lesson for the rest of humankind. This project teaches and encourages the second generation to continue telling the survivor stories of their parents, including the historical background and their personal observations and viewpoints, thus continuing the legacy into the future. It has been presented to scores of school & public groups as well as at international conferences. There will be time for questions.
Sandy Lessig is a 2nd Generation Holocaust Survivor and a Commissioner at the Texas Holocaust & Genocide Commission.
Admission is free and open to the public. Guests will receive a private Zoom link so advance registration is required.
