Description:
From the moment he was born, Arye Ephrath was in
danger. His mother gave birth to him with the help of a housemaid in
spring 1942 while hiding from the first wave of deportations of Jews
from their hometown in Slovakia. Later, a shepherd and his wife took in
Arye on the condition they could disguise him as a girl so that he would
blend in with their daughters. As the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) commemorates International
Holocaust Remembrance Day, learn how others took risks and sacrificed to
help Arye survive the Holocaust.
Eighty years since the Holocaust began, violent antisemitism remains a
threat—as we witnessed at a Texas synagogue this month. The lessons of
this history have never been more relevant and are an ongoing focus of USHMM’s Facebook Live series.
GuestDr. Arye Ephrath, Holocaust Survivor and Museum Volunteer
HostDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Description:
In the aftermath of the Holocaust, many Jewish writers turned to pen
and paper to reckon with the enormity of their loss. The stories they
wrote—both fiction and nonfiction—bring to life the darkest moments of
human history at the same time as they remind us of the human capacity
for renewal and regeneration.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, join the Museum of Jewish Heritage for a reading of two such short stories: The Road of No Return written by Rachel Häring Korn and read by Mili Avital and A Wedding in Brownsville written by Isaac Bashevis Singer and read by Eleanor Reissa. The program will premiere at 10 AM Eastern Time and be available all day.
Register here.
Public programming at the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living
Memorial to the Holocaust is made possible, in part, by public funds
from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership
with the City Council; the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against
Germany (Claims Conference); the New York State Council on the Arts with
the support of Governor Kathy C. Hochul and the New York State
Legislature; Battery Park City Authority; The Goldie and David
Blanksteen Foundation; Marcia Horowitz Educational Fund for
Cross-Cultural Awareness; and other generous donors.

Description:
Ms.
Melissa Fleming, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Global
Communications will host the virtual ceremony. Invited speakers include
United Nations Secretary-General; the President of the 76th session of
the General Assembly; the Permanent Representatives of Israel and the
United States and children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors.
Professor John K. Roth will deliver the keynote address. The ceremony
will include testimonies from the Holocaust survivors from Canada,
Israel, South Africa and the United States. Mr. Pinchas Zukerman and Mr.
Shai Wosner will perform a musical piece. Memorial prayers will be
recited.
In 2022, the theme guiding the United Nations Holocaust remembrance
and education is "Memory, Dignity and Justice". Holocaust commemoration
and education is a global imperative in the third decade of the 21st
century. The writing of history and the act of remembering brings
dignity and justice to those whom the perpetrators of the Holocaust
intended to obliterate. Safeguarding the historical record, remembering
the victims, challenging the distortion of history often expressed in
contemporary antisemitism, are critical aspects of claiming justice
after atrocity crimes. The theme encompasses these concerns.
Holocaust commemorative and educational activities will draw
attention to the actions taken by Holocaust survivors in the immediate
years following the devastation and brutality of the Holocaust, to
reclaim their rights, their history, their cultural heritage and
traditions, and their dignity. The role played by institutions and
individuals in supporting survivors, the long-reaching impact of the
Holocaust on survivors' families, and the impact of the Holocaust on the
shaping of human rights policy and interventions will be explored. The
theme encourages action to challenge hatred, strengthen solidarity and
champion compassion. The Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach
Programme is an expression of the unwavering commitment of the United
Nations to promoting human rights, to countering antisemitism and
racism, and to preventing future genocide.

Description:
2022 International Holocaust Remembrance Day Lecture
This short talk explores the ways in which the visual and symbolic
repertoire of cosmopolitan Holocaust memory has become appropriated to
represent other types of historical crimes. Focusing on post-communist
Eastern Europe, Jelena Subotić, Professor in the Department of Political Science at Georgia State University, demonstrates how the familiar narratives and images of
the Holocaust have been repurposed for two main goals: first, to
normatively elevate the suffering of non-Jewish national majorities and
equate it with the Holocaust, and, second, to reposition the crimes of
communism as the dominant criminal legacy of the 20th century on par
with, and sometimes overtaking, the legacy of the Holocaust. Subotić illustrates these arguments with brief examples of revisionist museum and
commemorative practices in Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, and Serbia.
Followed by a response from Natalie Belsky, Assistant Professor of History, UM - Duluth.
Jelena Subotić is Professor in the Department of Political
Science at Georgia State University. Her most recent book, Yellow Star,
Red Star: Holocaust Remembrance after Communism (Cornell University
Press, 2019, Serbian translation 2021) has won the 2020
Joseph Rothschild Prize in Nationalism and Ethnic Studies, the 2020
American Political Science Association European Politics and Society
Book Prize, the 2020 Robert L. Jervis and Paul W. Schroeder Prize for
the Best Book in International History and Politics (American Political
Science Association) and Honorable mention, 2020 Barbara Heldt Prize for
Best Book by a woman in any area of Slavic/East European/Eurasian
Studies. Her first book, Hijacked Justice: Dealing with the Past in the
Balkans (Cornell University Press, 2009) has been translated and
published in Serbia in 2010. She also the author of more than 30
scholarly articles on, among other topics, memory politics, transitional
justice, and politics of the Balkans.
Natalie Belsky is Assistant Professor of History at the
University of Minnesota Duluth. Her areas of specialization are Soviet
history, Soviet Jewry, the Second World War, and the Holocaust and
population displacement. Her current book manuscript examines civilian
evacuation in the Soviet Union during the Second World War.
