The Kraków Ghetto Through the Eyes of Jewish Children   View Event

  • Monday, March 21, 2022 at 7:00pm - 8:00pm
  • Calendar:   Speaking Engagements
  • Location:  Zoom
  • Description:  This lecture, presented virtually by Dr. Joanna Sliwa, will focus on young people’s survival strategies in the Kraków ghetto and discuss children’s agency during the Holocaust. Steven Spielberg’s film, Schindler’s List, ignited international interest in Kraków’s Jewish history. The only colored image in the film, the “girl in the red coat” continues to evoke emotions. This powerful cinematic effect has triggered a scholarly inquiry into what Jewish children experienced in the Kraków ghetto and what the sources by and about children reveal about the Holocaust in Kraków. The German authorities created the ghetto 81 years ago. Among the 2,500 children forced into it was Roman Polanski, who would become an accomplished film director. If some children, like Polanski, coped with the situation through play, friendships, and rebelling, others, like Janka Warszawska, became breadwinners and rescuers who smuggled other children outside the ghetto. Dr. Joanna Sliwa is the author of Jewish Childhood in Kraków: A Microhistory of the Holocaust, which won a 2020 Ernst Fraenkel Prize from the Wiener Holocaust Library. She is Historian at the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference). Joanna’s own research focuses on the Holocaust in Poland and on Polish Jewish history. Joanna taught Holocaust history and Jewish history at universities and has been involved in training programs on the Holocaust for teachers and educators. As a public historian, Joanna has lectured to diverse audiences. She has worked as a researcher, translator, and consultant for academic texts, websites, films, TV programs, and exhibits.

  • Calendar:   Workshops
  • Location:  Zoom
  • Description:  Malva Schalek was an artist who captured life in the Theresienstadt ghetto, and was deported to Auschwitz after refusing to paint the portrait of a collaborationist doctor. How did Malva use her art as a form of resistance? When piecing together a story like this, which requires documents from archives scattered across the world, researchers and archivists can face all sorts of challenges. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) has published Guidelines for Identifying Relevant Documentation for Holocaust Research, Education and Remembrance to help archives and researchers overcome these obstacles. Join the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) on 23 March for the launch of a short film about a researcher's journey to uncover more about Malva's life and death, and a panel discussion about how our new guidelines can help researchers and archivists to access Holocaust-related material.

Marking the 80th Anniversary of the Transport of 999 Jewish Women to Auschwitz: The Beginning of the Systematic Annihilation of the Jews   View Event

  • Sunday, March 27, 2022 at 1:00pm - 2:00pm
  • Calendar:   Speaking Engagements
  • Location:  Zoom
  • Description:  If the Wannsee Conference discussed plans to target young Jewish women as part of its Final Solution protocol, that part of the minutes was destroyed. What we do know is that a few weeks after that meeting, Himmler ordered the creation of a women’s camp in Auschwitz. So began the official systematic annihilation of Jews, which attacked, first and foremost, unmarried Jewish girls and young women, between the ages of 16 and 32. This little known history of how young women were targeted in 1942, reminds us of the plight of young women today. Heather Dune Macadam, author of the book 999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz, will speak about her research for the book and the soon to be released film 999. She reveals these young women's poignant stories, drawing on extensive interviews with survivors, and consulting with historians, witnesses, and relatives of those first deportees to create an important addition to Holocaust literature and women's history. One of the women on the transport from Poprad, Slovakia was Prof. Hanna Yablonka's aunt, Lila Klein, from the nearby town of Levoča, in the Tatra Mountains. Another young woman from the same town was Yuci [Jozi] Foldi (in Slovak Julia Skodova). She was one of the few women who survived the transport. Her testimony, therefore, is extraordinary because she was a witness to what Hanna Yablonka has described as the "archeology of Auschwitz" – the step-by-step implementation of the Final Solution in this camp. In her presentation, Yablonka will discuss the preparations to publish Skodova's book, the unique experience of Slovakian Jews in the history of the Final Solution, including her family's personal story, and the tragic fate of Julia Skodova.

This program is in partnership with Liberation 75, Remember the Women Institute, the Rabin Chair Forum, the House of the Wannsee Conference Memorial and Educational Site, and the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Center.
