Description:
When they lost family members during the Holocaust, many Jewish women
and girls formed substitute “families” with other women. These
sisterhoods were particularly important inside concentration camps,
where the bonds formed between women often helped them survive constant
danger.
Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage and Project Witness for a lecture exploring the phenomenon of camp shvesters (sisters) with Dr. Michael Berenbaum, world-renowned historian and Director of the Sigi Ziering Institute at American Jewish University.
Live closed captions will be available during this program. This program is co-presented with Project Witness.

Description:
Resistance during the Holocaust came in all forms and music was one of them. Somehow, amidst the chaos and horror of the Holocaust, music featured significantly in many ghettos and camps. How did victims of the Holocaust still manage to sing, play instruments, and create music? What purpose did this serve for those who played and for those who listened? This Echoes & Reflections webinar will be led by Tamar Machado-Recanati, music therapist, musicologist and researcher of Jewish music during the Holocaust.

Description:
Holocaust education has become a recent subject of popular discussion throughout the United States. Currently mandated in 18 states and the recent subject of national legislation, teaching about the Holocaust appears on the surface to be growing in American classrooms. However, some studies raise alarm about a reported lack of Holocaust knowledge, particularly among young Americans. In contrast, others point to the success of Holocaust education in promoting tolerance and empathy in students.
How do we understand these recent developments in historical context? How has teaching about the Holocaust changed in the seventy-five years since the end of World War II? Join Chhange Program Manager Spencer Cronin for a Lunch & Learn on the history of American Holocaust education.
Spencer Cronin is the Program Manager at the Center for Holocaust, Human Rights & Genocide Education. He holds a BA and an MA in history with a concentration in Holocaust and Genocide studies from Clark University. He has researched and written about Holocaust education in the United States. Prior to coming to Chhange, he served as the Program Coordinator at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum.

Description:
Snowy days, birthdays, and every important milestone. More than 1,000 photos capture the simple pleasures of residents of Eisiskes. They abruptly ended after Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union and soldiers came to their town, in what is now Lithuania.
The genocide of Europe's Jews began in places like Eisiskes. Over two days in September 1941, the Germans and their collaborators murdered the Jewish townspeople in mass shootings — the Holocaust by bullets. On World Photography Day, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum will look closely at one of the its most memorable displays.

Description:
A Question of Survival (55 minutes,
English, subtitles available) is an eye-opening portrait of three
Bulgarian Jews—Chaim Zemach, a cellist; Robert Bakish, an engineer; and
Misha Avramoff, a social worker on Manhattan’s Lower East Side—as they
struggle to place their unusual experiences during World War II into the
more common narrative of the Holocaust.
Chaim, Robert, and Misha were children and young adults when
Bulgaria’s pro-Nazi regime planned, and then cancelled, the deportation
of the country’s 48,000 Jews. The film explores the complex legacy of
the Holocaust in the Balkans through their eyes and through their
questions about the term “survivor.”
Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage for a special screening of A Question of Survival followed by a live discussion with the film’s director Elka Nikolova.

Live closed captions will not be available during this program, but
closed captions will be available afterwards on the program recording
that will be found on the Museum of Jewish Heritage’s YouTube channel.

Description:
During the Holocaust, some Jews were helped by members of different religious communities with convents and other religious institutions becoming a haven for Jewish adults and children. Others helped Jews find refuge in private homes, providing false papers, and assisting them to illegally cross borders.
Focusing on France as a case study, this Echoes & Reflections webinar delivered by Yad Vashem educator, Eliot Nidam Orvieto, will explore aspects and issues of daily life within this context, and the phenomenon of the religious as rescuers.

Description:
Ideas and practices rooted in racial prejudice have been part of the
modern Olympic Games since their inception in the late 19th century, but
never more prominently than in the 1936 Summer Games held in Nazi-ruled
Berlin. Here, antisemitism and anti-Black racism combined to produce an
especially toxic brew. Going beyond the familiar (though often
misconstrued) experiences of African-American Jesse Owens and
Jewish-American Marty Glickman, David Clay Large, author of Nazi Games:
The Olympics of 1936, will examine how racial politics and theories of
race defined all aspects of the 1936 Olympics. These “Tainted Games”
generated a complex legacy with which we are still grappling today.This program is part of Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum's Permanent Exhibition Highlight Series. Space is limited! Please register for one ticket per device used. This virtual event 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:
Appalachian State’s Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies invites the academic public to its first research colloquium of Fall 2021. The Zoom-based event features Dr. Noah Shenker (Monash University), who will join live from Melbourne, Australia. The event will focus on Dr. Shenker’s much-noticed work on Holocaust survivor testimony. It is also the first of many programs that the Center will organize to remember and honor the legacy of its recently-deceased former director Prof. Rosemary Horowitz z’’l, who had invited our guest last year.
Register here.
Please note that this event was originally scheduled for April, but had to be postponed.
Organized by the Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies, the
program is co-sponsored by ASU's Department of History, ASU’s chapter
of Hillel and AEPi, and the Temple of the High Country. Like all Center events, the online colloquia are free of charge and
open to the scholarly and other publics. For more information, please
contact the Center at 828.262.2311 or via e-mail.
Dr. Noah Shenker is the N. Milgrom and 6a Foundation Senior Lecturer in Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Monash University’s Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation. He holds a PhD in Critical Studies from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. Dr. Shenker’s research and teaching traverse Jewish Studies, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Cultural Studies, and Cinema and Media Studies. That interdisciplinary approach was at the center of his first book, Reframing Holocaust Testimony, published in 2015 by Indiana University Press as part of its Modern Jewish Experience series. Organized within a comparative framework, his book looks at three of the most extensive and distinctive archives of Holocaust testimony in the world: the USC Shoah Foundation Institute, the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Dr. Shenker investigates how the cultural and institutional histories and practices of those sites mediate the encounters between interviewers and interviewees and consider the extent to which testimonies are driven by the agency of witnesses and the itineraries of a given archive. In addition, he has written and published extensively on the representation of the Holocaust and genocide in testimony, film, and new media. His contributions include “‘I have never begun by asking the big questions’: Raul Hilberg as Historical Revenant in Shoah,” in the edited volume, The Invention of Testimony: Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah in the Twenty-First Century
(Wayne State University Press, 2020) and “Through the Lens of the Shoah: The Holocaust as a Paradigm for Documenting Genocide Testimonies,” in History & Memory
(2016). His current project (with co-author Associate Professor Dan Leopard) on which the talk is based -- and which is a parallel project to a joint research endeavor of the Holocaust Program at Western Galilee College, the Center for Advanced Genocide Research at the University of Southern California Shoah Foundation, and ASU's Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies -- explores Holocaust testimony beyond the "Era of the Witness" (A. Wieviorka).
The Center’s Research Colloquia are based on (1) pre-circulated texts that we ask everyone to read prior to the meeting. The featured scholars will then (2) give a (quite short) introduction to their work, also situating it in the broader literature and highlighting some of the key insights. Afterwards, the main segment of the event is taken up by (3) lively discussions that address all of the questions that participants may have. Towards the end of the colloquium, participants will (4) have an opportunity to benefit from our guests’ expertise by asking them for feed-back and help with their own research projects.
