Description:
Estelle Laughlin was ten years old when Nazi Germany invaded her
hometown of Warsaw, Poland. It wasn’t long before more than 400,000
local Jews, including Estelle’s family, were forced into a tiny
1.3-square-mile ghetto in the city. In July 1942, Nazis began deporting
the ghetto residents to the Treblinka killing center. Within two months,
Estelle was one of the few children left alive.
Learn about Estelle’s experiences as a young Jewish girl under Nazi
occupation and her parents’ resourcefulness, bravery, and resolve in
trying to shield her from the unimaginable events they were
experiencing.

Description:
THIS PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE VIRTUALLY OR IN-PERSON.
Before and during World War II, the Nazis engaged in an organized
program of looting Jewish cultural objects, often using forced Jewish
labor to catalog the stolen items. Join Dr. Martin Dean as he examines
the Nazi policy of cultural plunder, including its aims and methods, and
shows how many Jews sought to defy the Germans’ genocidal intentions
through imaginative forms of cultural resistance.
This program is presented in conjunction with the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum's current special exhibition, The Book Smugglers: Partisans, Poets, and the Race to Save Jewish Treasures from the Nazis, on view through January 2, 2022.

About The Book Smugglers ExhibitionThe Book Smugglers is the nearly unbelievable true story of
ghetto residents who rescued thousands of rare books and manuscripts
by hiding them on their persons, burying them in bunkers, and smuggling
them across borders. Set in Vilna, Lithuania, known as the “Jerusalem of
Lithuania” for its Jewish culture rich with art, music, literature,
poetry, theater, and opera, a small group of partisans and poets risked
everything to save Jewish cultural treasures. The Book Smugglers: Partisans, Poets and the Race to Save Jewish Treasures from the Nazis is curated by Holocaust Museum Houston and based on the book by David E. Fishman.

Description:
Appalachian State's Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies invites
the public to its first Fall 2021 online Center lecture by Professor Emerita Carolyn
Ellis (University of South Florida). Prof. Ellis' public talk
is entitled Being
with Jerry: Compassionate and Collaborative Research with a Survivor of the
Holocaust.
Register here.
Organized by the Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies, the program is co-sponsored by ASU's Departments of Communication and History. Like all Center events, these online programs are free of charge and open to the public. For more information, please contact theCenter at 828.262.2311 or via e-mail.
Dr. Ellis has been collaborating for a dozen years with Jerry Rawicki, a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto. This presentation will employ film clips from our interviews and a video about their trip to Treblinka, where his family members were gassed, to demonstrate the research relationship that has formed between the two. Calling on compassionate interviewing and storytelling, Jerry and Dr. Ellis collaborate to understand his experiences during and after the Holocaust and how a compassionate research orientation might work in practice. In this approach, a researcher and participant listen deeply to, speak responsibly with, feel passionately for, share vulnerably with, and connect relationally and ethically to each other with care. We write and tell stories empathetically and respectfully, focusing on participants’ well-being and the possibility of renewal and purpose in life. This approach adds a relational and emotional dimension to research on trauma, such as the Holocaust, that enables us to learn from our interactions with others as well as from what our participants say.
Carolyn Ellis is a Distinguished University Professor Emerita at the University of South Florida. She has contributed to the narrative and autoethnographic study of human life through integrating ethnographic, literary, and evocative writing to portray and make sense of lived experience in cultural context. In her interviews with a survivor of the Holocaust, she seeks to listen deeply, write and analyze collaboratively, and construct compassionate stories guided by a relational ethics of care that contribute to improving human lives. Dr. Ellis has published eight monographs, six edited books, and more than 150 articles, chapters, and essays. She has edited two book series and presented keynote addresses and workshops in sixteen countries. Her most recent books are Final Negotiations: A Story of Love, Loss, and Chronic Illness Expanded and Revised Edition and Revision: Autoethnographic Reflections on Life and Work, Revised Classic Edition. Her awards include the Charles H. Woolbert Research Award and the Distinguished Scholar Award, both from the National Communication Association (NCA); The Legacy Lifetime Award and best book and article awards from NCA’s Ethnography Division; a Lifetime Achievement Award in Qualitative Inquiry and two best book awards from the International Center for Qualitative Inquiry at the University of Illinois; a lifetime contribution award from the International Conference of Autoethnography in the UK; and the Goodall and Trujillo Award for Narrative Ethnography.

Description:
The Pyramid of Hate is a tool that can help students recognize the relative ease with which hate, if left unchecked, can escalate. Examining the Pyramid of Hate through the lens of the Holocaust also encourages students to reflect on their own responsibility to interrupt bias behaviors and take action on their schools and communities. Using primary sources and visual history testimony from Echoes & Reflections, this webinar helps teachers and their students examine events at each stage of the pyramid and enhances their understanding of how the progression might have been interrupted during the period prior to and during the Holocaust.
Esther Hurh is a Senior Trainer for Echoes & Reflections, with over 20 years of expertise in civil rights, diversity and inclusion, bullying prevention, and Holocaust Education.

Description:
Berlin boasted a thriving, largely Jewish-owned fashion district that
sought to rival Paris in the 1920s and 1930s—before it was destroyed by
the Nazis. Leading Jewish designer and trendsetter Norbert Jutschenka
owned a successful business there until the Nazis forced him to sell his
company for a fraction of its value.
Judith Leiber, who had to give up studying chemistry because of the
outbreak of World War II, reinvented herself after the war in Budapest
and then New York. Celebrities and First Ladies have carried her
crystal-studded designer handbags. During the focus on Fashion Week,
join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to explore what was lost in the fall of a once-rising fashion
capital, and how working in the clothing industry helped some survivors
build new lives.

Description:
Join the Institute of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Raritan Valley Community College online to view a timely documentary film, From Swastika to Jim Crow. This film tells the little-known story of Jewish professors and intellectuals who escaped Nazi Germany to the US in the 1930s. Confronted with antisemitism at American universities and public distrust of foreigners, they secured teaching positions at Traditionally Black Colleges in the then-segregated South. The complex interactions between these two groups are recalled through historic footage and moving firsthand testimonials by Black and Jewish scholars, activists, and artists.
