Description:
In a conflict that introduced the
concept of rape camps into international consciousness, the 1992-1995 Bosnian
War continues to have serious repercussions for the survivors of sexual
violence left in its wake. Three decades later, the memorialization of women’s
wartime experiences remains a challenge as they continue to fight for justice,
financial reparations, psychological support, and community acceptance. Join the Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center for a conversation about the devastating impact that this deliberate war waged
on women’s bodies has had at the individual, communal, and national levels.
Featuring Sabiha Husić, Director of Association "Medica" Zenica, an
NGO working with women and children survivors of war rape and sexual violence;
Hasan Hasanović, Head of the Oral History Project at the Srebrenica
Genocide Memorial; Ann Petrila, Professor of the Practice and
Coordinator of Global Initiatives at the University of Denver’s Graduate School
of Social Work; and Tanya Domi, Adjunct Assistant Professor of International and
Public Affairs at Columbia University’s School of International and Public
Affairs and an affiliate faculty member of the Harriman Institute.

Description:
Spring Lecture Series: "Was the Nazi Final Solution Decided at Wannsee?"
Dr. Amy Kerner will present "Was the Nazi Final Solution Decided At Wannsee?" for the second of our annual Spring Lecture Series. She will address the abiding infamy of the Wannsee Conference in popular and scholarly thought. How have historians debated and made sense of the event and its place in the broader history of the Nazi Holocaust? On what basis can we gauge the significance of the meeting, and its ramifications? And how does a fascination with Wannsee shape or distort our understanding how genocides unfold?
Dr. Amy Kerner is an Assistant Professor in Holocaust and Human Rights and is the Fellow of the Jacqueline and Michael Wald Professorship in Holocaust Studies.
PARKINGParking is available in any of the numbered metered spots in Lot M West (follow the event signs from the main University entrance off Campbell). You can use the parking coupon code 41246032 for complimentary parking.

Description:
2022 Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Annual Lecture—The “Citizen
Other”: Citizenship Stripping in Nazi Germany and the United States
Hitler’s government sought to violently redesign German society upon
assuming power in 1933 by defining who belonged and who was excluded.
During the same period, many in the United States saw America’s racial,
religious, and ethnic identity in narrow and exclusive terms as well. In
both Nazi Germany and the United States, leaders were determined to
limit national belonging by denying civil rights and at times even
stripping citizenship from those they sought to exclude. What were the
similarities and differences between the two countries' views of race,
rights, and belonging?
SpeakersDr. Amanda Frost, Ann Loeb Bronfman Distinguished Professor of Law and Government, American University
Dr. Wolf Gruner, Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish
Studies and Professor of History, University of Southern California,
Founding Director, USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research,
Member, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Academic Committee

Description:
Holocaust Museum Houston is proud to present this film screening of Three Minutes - A Lengthening as part of the ERJCC Houston Jewish Film Festival.
Three Minutes - A Lengthening presents a home movie shot by David Kurtz in 1938 in a Jewish town in Poland and tries to postpone its ending. As long as we are watching, history is not over yet. The three minutes of footage, mostly in color, are the only moving images left of the Jewish inhabitants of Nasielsk before the Holocaust. The existing three minutes are examined to unravel the human stories hidden in the celluloid. The footage is imaginatively edited to create a film that lasts more than an hour. Different voices enhance the images. Glenn Kurtz, grandson of David Kurtz, provides his knowledge of the footage. Maurice Chandler, who appears in the film as a boy, shares his memories. Actress Helena Bonham Carter narrates the film essay.
Glenn Kurtz, who discovered the film and had it restored will join us by zoom after the screening for a talkback.
