Description:
With the annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia in 1938, and due to the restrictive quota, the waiting list for those who wanted to enter the United States from Nazi-occupied Europe grew to span ten years. With the obstacles to leaving becoming insurmountable, Europe's Jews, and those who strove to help them, became creative and sought any and every opportunity for escape. Join United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Curator Dr. Susan Goldstein Snyder as she explores the ways Americans, Jews and non-Jews, attempted to help the Jews of Europe who were increasingly living under the Nazi cloud.

After World War II, Argentina became home to one of the world’s
largest communities of Holocaust survivors at the same time as the

bombing. Explore issues of justice, truth, and memory in Argentina in
this virtual program, which will be co-presented with the Museo del Holocausto de Buenos Aires.

Justicia, Verdad y Memoria en la Comunidad Judeo-Argentina
Martes, 9 de marzo de 2021 | 19:00 ART
Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, muchos sobrevivientes de la
Shoá migraron a la Argentina para construir su hogar. Se convirtió en
uno de los países con mayor cantidad de sobrevivientes de América
Latina, pero fue también un refugio para exnazis. Este legado de la Shoá
dejó huellas en un país que hoy también cuenta con otros legados de
violencia, como la dictadura cívico-militar (1976 a 1983) y el atentado a
la AMIA (1994). Este encuentro virtual explorará estos vínculos y las
tensiones entre justicia, verdad y memoria en la Argentina. Está
co-organizado por el Museo de la Herencia Judía de New York, y el Museo del Holocausto de Buenos Aires.
Disertarán:
Doctora Natasha Zaretsky, antropóloga cultural.
Senior Lecturer en New York University y Visiting Scholar en el Centro
de Estudios del Genocidio y los Derechos Humanos de Rutgers University.
Recientemente ha publicado Acts of Repair: Justice, Truth, and the Politics of Memory in Argentina (Rutgers University Press).

Aires y de la Junta Asesora de la Federación Mundial de Niños Judíos
Sobrevivientes del Holocausto.

Gaeta, Tina Chancey, and Howard Bass of Sephardic ensemble Trio

Description:
Josephine Baker, an American vaudeville performer
turned glittering star of Paris, was at the peak of her fame in 1939
when the Nazi regime began its stranglehold on Europe. But then came an
offer that changed her life.
Like Baker, Virginia Hall, an American who lost a leg in a hunting
accident, and Noor Inayat Khan, a Muslim pacifist, weren’t prototypical
spies. And that was exactly the point. Learn how they turned prejudice
and society’s low expectations of women into weapons that hid their
critical work to defeat the Nazis.
SpeakersCIA Museum's Deputy Director
Dr. Elizabeth Baer, Holocaust Studies expert and research professor, Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minnesota
ModeratorDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

find ways of preserving memory, curating visits to memorial sites, and
transmitting historical narratives.

efficacy of Holocaust education, the role of memorial sites and museum
exhibitions, and explore the development of interdisciplinary approaches
to these contemporary issues.

Description:
Eva Fleischner was a well-regarded scholar of women in the Holocaust and Jewish-Christian relations, as well as, a close associate of the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education. Much of her research focused on the sacrifices made rescuers; she used the term "memory of goodness" in a book about the experiences of survivors. At the same time, her work wrestled with the darker elements of human behavior that the Holocaust revealed. Dr. Roth's presentation will explore these dual aspects of Eva Fleischner's contributions while also paying tribute to her life. Her life and work, Roth contends, were devoted to reminding us that goodness is, what the forces are that threaten it, and the means by which we might resist those threats.John K. Roth is the Edward J. Sexton Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and the Founding Director of the Center for the Study of the Holocaust , Genocide, and Human Rights at Claremont McKenna College. He has published hundreds of articles and reviews and authored or edited more than 50 books, including: Ethics During and After the Holocaust Studies: In the Shadow of Birkenau; The Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies; The Failures of Ethics: Confronting the Holocaust, Genocide, and Other Mass Atrocities; and Sources of Holocaust Insight: Learning and Teaching About the Genocide.Register here.
The National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education (NCCHE) makes scholarship on the Holocaust and other acts of genocide accessible to educators at every level. Seton Hill established this Center on its campus in 1987. The university initiated this national Catholic movement toward Holocaust studies in response to the urging of Pope John Paul II to recognize the significance of the Shoah, the Holocaust, and to “promote the necessary historical and religious studies on this event which concerns the whole of humanity today” (Letter to Archbishop John L. May, 1987).

Description:
More than 7,000 Danish Jews were evacuated to Sweden in October 1943.
After crossing the Øresund by boat and landing on Swedish shores,
approximately 6,000 of the refugees were interviewed by the Swedish
Police Authority, to whom they disclosed a wealth of information about
their lives in Denmark and the logistics of their escape. The Police
Authority’s records have only recently been uncovered and explored by
Danish scholars.
Join Therkel Straede, Professor of Contemporary
History at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, for a
discussion of the police records and what they reveal about this
extraordinary feat of rescue.
