Description:
Discover the HBO documentary The Number on Great-Grandpa’s Arm. This short family film introduces Holocaust history to a new generation. When 10-year-old Elliott asks his 90-year-old great-grandfather, Jack, about the number tattooed on his arm, he sparks an intimate conversation about Jack’s life that spans happy memories of childhood in Poland, the loss of his family, surviving Auschwitz, and finding a new life in America. Their tender exchange is woven with historical footage and hand-painted animation to tell a heartbreaking story of Jewish life in Eastern Europe before and during the Holocaust.
Following the film, you will have a chance to hear from Elliot as he shares his thoughts about his great-grandfather and his decision to share his family story with the world. During the program, the Institute of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Raritan Valley Community College will present a brief 18 min film.

Description:
Esther Starobin was two years old when her parents sent her out of
their German hometown to an uncertain life in England. An organized
rescue effort for Jewish children, known as the Kindertransport, took
place between 1938 and 1940. Esther spent the next eight years with a
foster family, largely unaware what was happening to her parents and
brother who had remained in Germany.
Learn about Esther’s experiences as a Jewish girl raised by a
Christian foster family in England and how her oldest sister worked to
fulfill her promise of keeping the sisters together.

Description:
Before the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials there were a long series of treaties, agreements and assurances that attempted to limit the evil done in times of war and even to reduce or eliminate threat of war itself.
By trying and punishing those Nazi leaders who ignored those pacts, Nuremberg and its subsequent trials and the agreements that followed created precedents by which the nations of the world can hold states and statesmen accountable for aggressive war, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
Join Chicago-Kent College of Law panelists as they discuss the way the original trial created a set of international standards that held leaders accountable for aggression and breaking the laws of war and created the concept of crimes against humanity. They will follow those themes to analyze how those standards have been applied and continue being applied today.

Description:
In 2009, the acclaimed author of Hitler’s Furies was shown a
photograph just brought to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
The documentation of the Holocaust is vast, but there are virtually no
images of a Jewish family at the actual moment of murder, in this case
by German officials and Ukrainian collaborators. A Ukrainian shooter’s
rifle is inches from a woman’s head, obscured in a cloud of smoke. The
woman is bending forward, holding the hand of a barefoot boy. And—only
one of the shocking revelations of Wendy Lower’s brilliant ten-year
investigation of this image—the photograph reveals the shins of another
child, slipping from the woman’s lap.
Wendy Lower’s gripping
detective work—in Ukraine, Germany, Slovakia, Israel, and the United
States—recovers astonishing layers of detail concerning the open-air
massacres in Ukraine. The identities of the victims, of the killers—and,
remarkably, of the photographer who openly took the picture, as a
secret act of resistance—are dramatically uncovered. Finally, in the
hands of this exceptional scholar, a single image unlocks a new
understanding of the place of the family unit in the history and
aftermath of Nazi genocide.

This event is hosted by the Gross Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies at Ramapo College and is co-sponsored by the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center.
