Description:
Sixty years after the Eichmann Trial, a leading panel will discuss this historic event and its effect on public awareness of the Holocaust.
The AJR in partnership with 3GNY and ANU, Museum of the Jewish People, bring together a leading panel of experts - Tamar Hausner-Raveh, Eli Rosenbaum, Avner Avraham and Shula Bahat - to discuss the landmark Eichmann trial, on its 60th anniversary. The panel will be chaired by James Libson.
Adolf Eichmann played a pivotal role in the implementation of the Final Solution. Charged
with managing and facilitating the mass deportation of Jews to ghettos
and killing centers in the German-occupied East, he was among the major organizers of the Holocaust. Following his stunning abduction by the
Mossad in Argentina on 11 May 1960, Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem in
1961 sparked international interest and heightened public awareness of
the crimes of the Holocaust.
Please note the event will be
broadcast via YouTube. We will send out the link 24 hours beforehand
and again 1 hour beforehand. Please check your Junk filter if it has
not arrived. Booking is still required via Eventbrite.
Tamar Hausner-Raveh
is the daughter of the Chief Prosecutor of the Eichmann trial, Gideon
Hausner. Tamar witnessed the preparation for the trial from a unique
perspective as her father interviewed the survivors at their home. Some
of the survivors that her father wanted to bring as witnesses, were
reluctant to open up and talk, saying that even their family members did
not believe the extent of their sufferings. Tamar heard the stories
from Kazetnik and Rivka Yosselevska and others, behind the closed doors
of her home. Tamar said, "It left an indenting impression on me. Later
on, during and after the trial, our home became like a refuge for
survivors, who saw in my father their voice and representative."
Eli Rosenbaum is the longest-serving prosecutor and
investigator of Nazi criminals and other perpetrators of human rights
violations in world history, having worked on these cases at the U.S.
Department of Justice for nearly 40 years. He served from 1994 to 2010
as Director of the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations
(OSI), where he had previously served as a trial attorney and then as
Deputy Director. Since 2010, Eli has served as Director of Human Rights
Enforcement Strategy and Policy in the Human Rights and Special
Prosecutions Section (HRSP), a new unit that was created that year when
OSI was merged with another component of the Criminal Division. Under
Rosenbaum’s leadership, the U.S. Justice Department program has won more
World War II Nazi cases over the past 30 years than have the law
enforcement authorities of all the other countries of the world combined
(Washington Post, Jan. 26, 2020); the most recent such victory was the
February 2021 deportation to Germany of a former Nazi concentration camp
guard.
Avner Avraham is a renowned expert on Mossad operations
who famously worked to reveal and publicize the insider story of the
historic capture of Eichmann. While working as a Mossad agent, Avraham
discovered the original documents surrounding Eichmann's capture and
trial, and, moved to share his findings with a wider audience, curated
the world-famous and headline-making museum exhibition Operation Finale: The Capture and Trial of Adolf Eichmann
and produced an accompanying documentary. With the story, now the
subject of a major motion picture – for which Avraham served as a key
consultant, Avraham is a key speaker for his fascinating insights into
this chapter of Jewish history.
Shula Bahat is CEO of ANU Museum of the Jewish People (Beit Hatfutsot) in America and has worked to adapt the Operation Finale
exhibition to best fit the American audience, enabling a wide audience
to understand the uniqueness and importance of the capture and trial of
Eichmann.
James Libson is Managing Partner at
Mishcon de Reya solicitors who acted for Deborah Lipstadt in her defense
against David Irving and for the Jewish Labour Movement in its referral
of the Labour Party to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission. He
also acted for the anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller in her Supreme
Court challenges.

Description:
Join the Anti-Defamation League's Central Division series will present "The Future of Holocaust Education,” featuring experts from Echoes & Reflections, a leader in the field of Holocaust education that utilizes unparalleled expertise and resources from three world leaders in Holocaust education; the USC Shoah Foundation: Institute for Visual History and Education; Yad Vashem: The World Holocaust Remembrance Center; and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
Extremism is dominating the news, Holocaust denial and antisemitism are at record highs, and the topic of Holocaust Education is once again front and center, not just in our schools, but in the public square. We are losing an entire generation of first-hand survivors at a time when hearing their stories couldn’t be more important. Whether, and to what extent, we keep a doorway to the lessons of the Shoah open and accessible to all people is a direct measure of how likely we, as a society, are to let the past repeat itself.
Echoes & Reflections is dedicated to reshaping the way that teachers and students understand, process, and navigate the world through the events of the Holocaust, viewing it as more than a historical event—as part of the larger human story. In that context, the panelists will tackle questions regarding the relevance, immediacy and challenge of making Holocaust Education synonymous with civic education in today’s schools.

Description:
The televised Israeli trial of Adolf Eichmann in 1961 ignited international awareness of the Holocaust and of the failure to convict many of its perpetrators. Survivors recounted their experiences in a courtroom, emboldening others to speak up and demand justice. They helped inspire new efforts to prosecute perpetrators and to address the pain and loss they caused their victims. Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to learn about the fight for justice for Holocaust victims and their families and how it informs such efforts in the wake of genocide and mass atrocities today.
SpeakersDr. Elizabeth White, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
ModeratorDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Description:
Neuroscientist Dr. Daniela Schiller, who leads the Affective Neuroscience Lab
at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, has spent years exploring
“reconsolidation” — the biological process of rewriting painful
memories. Her groundbreaking work is shaped by her personal experiences
with her elderly father in Israel, who remains haunted by the Holocaust
decades after he survived it.
Filmmaker Liron Unreich has spent years exploring
multigenerational trauma through a different lens. Like Schiller, his
work is a personal mission informed by his own grandfather’s legacy as a
Holocaust survivor. The two of them have joined forces with producer Roy Wol to create the upcoming feature-length documentary The Ripple Project ONE, which profiles five creative individuals working through the enduring trauma of the Holocaust.
Join Schiller, Unreich, and Wol for a discussion exploring Schiller’s
personal story, the journeys behind the film, and the dynamic nature of
traumatic emotional memories.
Program attendees will also receive a private screening link to view a 22-minute film vignette of Daniela’s story.
