Description:
Please join Columbia University in the City of New York for a virtual symposium co-convened by Harriman Institute Adjunct Assistant Professor Tanya Domi and Laura Cohen, Executive Director of the Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center at Queensborough Community College, CUNY.
Across Europe, the history of the Holocaust is routinely distorted
for nationalist purposes by governments looking to influence
interpretations of, while distancing themselves from, the atrocities
committed on their soil during World War II. At the same time, evidence
continues to emerge about what happened to the Jewish, as well as Roma
and Sinti communities throughout Southeast Europe and the Western
Balkans. This symposium offers new insights into how the Holocaust
unfolded in Bulgaria, and also marks the launch of new research
commissioned by the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide
and Mass Atrocities (AIPG) and the FXB Center for Health and Human
Rights at Harvard University about the fate of Roma and Sinti people in
the former Yugoslavia.
Program All times in EDT (New York). Each panel requires individual registration.
Panel I: Uncovering the Legacy of the Holocaust in Bulgaria | 9:30am–11:00am
This panel features a discussion about the documentary film, A Question of Survival: The Complex Legacy of the Holocaust in the Balkans (2020),
as well as the challenges of doing research in a country where the
history of the Holocaust has been mythologized, obscured, and contested.Please note that the film will not be shown during the panel.
The link to screen it in advance will be shared nine days before the
event.

Description:
This panel grapples with migrations of Jews displaced by war in three different geopolitical contexts: Ukraine, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Profs Jeff Veidlinger, Eliyana Adler, and Shay Hazkani recapture lost voices of displacement and rethink the meaning of “refugee” as they explore the experiences of thousands of Jews who left their homes in Ukraine in the wake of the anti-Jewish violence unleashed during the Russian Civil War; of thousands of Polish Jews who, in the midst of the Holocaust, fled the Germans and were deported by the Soviets to Central Asia; and of thousands of Moroccan Jews, who immigrated to Israel shortly after the establishment of the Jewish state.
Register here.
The event is part of the discussion series “Refugees and Forcibly Displaced Persons”, organized by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes against Humanity, the Graduate Center, CUNY and the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, NYU.
This event is hosted in association with The Holocaust and The United Nations Outreach Programme, Outreach Division, Department of Global Communications, United Nations.

Description:
In his newest book, Dr. Avinoam Patt
examines the heroic saga of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, analyzing how
the revolt was mythologized in a way that captured the attention of Jews
around the world, allowing them to imagine what it might have been like
to be there, engaged in the struggle against the Nazi oppressor. Soon
after the uprising in April 1943, the transition to memorialization and
mourning of those lost in the Holocaust solidified the event as a date
to remember both the heroes and the martyrs of Warsaw and of European
Jewry more broadly.
Avinoam
J. Patt (PhD) is the Doris and Simon Konover Chair of Judaic Studies
and Director of the Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish
Life at the University of Connecticut. Previously he served at the
Feltman Professor of Modern Jewish History at the University of Hartford
and as the Miles Lerman Scholar for Jewish Life and Culture at the
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
He is the author of several books, including Finding Home and Homeland: Jewish Youth and Zionism in the Aftermath of the Holocaust
(Wayne State University Press, May 2009); co-editor (with Michael
Berkowitz) of a collected volume on Jewish Displaced Persons, titled We are Here: New Approaches to the Study of Jewish Displaced Persons in Postwar Germany (Wayne State University Press, 2010). He is co-editor of The JDC at 100: A Century of Humanitarianism (Wayne State University Press, 2019). Together with David Slucki and Gabriel Finder, he is co-editor of Laughter After: Humor and the Holocaust (April 2020) and, with Laura Hilton, is co-editor of Understanding and Teaching the Holocaust (University of Wisconsin Press, July 2020).
This event is in person. Admission is free, but advanced registration is required.
