Description:
Lieutenant-General (ret) Roméo Dallaire was appointed Force Commander of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda prior to and during the 1994 genocide. General Dallaire provided the UN with information about the planned massacre, which ultimately took more than 800,000 lives in less than 100 days; yet, permission to intervene was denied and the UN withdrew its peacekeeping forces. General Dallaire, along with a small contingent of Ghanaian and Tunisian soldiers and military observers, disobeyed the command to withdraw and remained in Rwanda to fulfill their ethical obligation to protect those who sought refuge with the UN forces.
This is a live event hosted on Microsoft Teams. Please download the application in advance to join us.

Description:
Jewish people who lived in late-19th century Central Eastern Europe experienced oppression on one hand and emancipation on the other hand, depending on the specific time and place. This was the case for Moravian Jews. Those individuals and families that were exceptionally successful in their own business or in the arts participated in the everyday politics and public discussions on the local level and the imperial level. After the First World War they largely showed their loyalty to the Czechoslovak state while preserving their original culture. Featuring a world of fiction and cafés, this presentation will focus on the social life of Moravian Jews in the interwar period and explore a range of Jewish experiences in Central Eastern Europe.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Please note: Face masks are required for all guests ages 2 and up. Complimentary masks are available at the Security desk.

discussion on the experiences of women in genocide as victims,
perpetrators, and survivors.

Description:
In 1990, a suitcase was discovered in Prague. Its contents revealed a treasure-trove of musical compositions, photographs, and personal items belonging to the composer and pianist Gideon Klein, murdered by the Nazis at age 25. Based on new discoveries, this talk investigates how Klein continued to make music against all odds during the German occupation of Prague, and while imprisoned in the Terezín Concentration Camp.
Dr. Fligg's full-length biography on Gideon Klein, Letter from Gideon, was published in December 2019 in Czech to mark Klein's centenary. The English version will be published later this year. David Fligg is the author of a number of recent journal articles and book chapters about Klein. He is an Honorary Research Fellow at the Royal Northern College of Music (Manchester, UK) and Visiting Professor at Chester University (Chester, UK).

Description:
Dazzling art, dubious dealers, and greedy Nazi
leaders eager to convey an air of grandeur and power. That’s only part
of the story behind one of the greatest thefts in history. The Nazi plot
to strip Jews of their art, furnishings, and even objects of little
value was a sign of their greater ambition—to destroy a people and
rewrite history. Watch live on Facebook to learn about some of the
victims and perpetrators—and a mole who secretly documented the theft
and hiding places of priceless art.
GuestLynn H. Nicholas, author of The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe's Treasures in the Third Reich and the Second World War
