Description:
This is an in-person program.
Registration for the Mittelman-Berman Holocaust Education Series program featuring Dr. David Marwell includes:
6:00 p.m. Reception7:00 p.m. Program
One of the most notorious figures of the Holocaust, Josef Mengele
epitomized a noble profession gone wrong. Amplified by popular culture’s
fascination with him, Mengele has come to symbolize the Holocaust,
particularly the gruesome medical experiments carried out in Nazi
concentration camps. But how did the man become the legend? Was Mengele
the embodiment of evil, or a “normal” medical professional who made
terrible choices? Join Dr. David Marwell, author of Mengele: Unmasking the Angel of Death, for an in-depth look at Mengele’s life and his role in the Holocaust.
David G. Marwell, Ph.D. has had a distinguished
career in public history. He spent nine years at the U.S. Department of
Justice as Chief of Investigative Research, conducting research in
support of the investigation and prosecution of Nazi war criminals in
the United States, including the investigations of Klaus Barbie and
Josef Mengele. He also served as the Director of the Berlin Document
Center, a repository for captured personnel-related files of the Nazi
Party, the Executive Director of the JFK Assassination Records Review
Board, an independent federal agency established to identify, locate,
and make available to the public all records relating to the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and the Associate Museum
Director at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. In 2000,
Marwell was appointed Director & CEO of the Museum of Jewish
Heritage in New York City and led this important institution for fifteen
years.
Generously supported by Julie Meetal Berman and Dr. Joseph M. Berman, M.D., in memory of Les and Magda Mittelman.

Description:
Criminalization-Surveillance-Resistance: Roma & Policing from the Holocaust to the PresentThis
virtual workshop explores the history of race and policing through the
experiences of European Roma from the late 19th century through the
Holocaust and into the present.
This virtual workshop explores the history of race and policing
through the experiences of European Roma from the late 19th century
through the Holocaust and into the present. Scholars from the US,
Europe, and beyond will address the confluence of the criminalization
and racialization of the category of “Gypsy,” the role of the police in
the persecution and genocide of Roma in the Holocaust, and the legacies
of this history for Romani communities to the present day. The program
will open with a roundtable of scholars and activists who will address
the contemporary stakes of the history of the criminalization and police
persecution of Roma in Europe and explore resonances with parallel
histories of race and policing in the American context.
Presented by: The Center for Austrian Studies, The Center for
Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and the Institute for Global Studies

Description:
This program delves into Gross’s biography, work, and the legacy that the Renee & Chaim Gross Foundation continues to preserve for the public benefit. Featuring Mimi Gross, President of the Foundation and daughter of Renee and Chaim Gross, and Sasha Davis, Executive Director of the Renee & Chaim Gross Foundation.
Register here.
Chaim Gross (1902-1991) fled Europe as a teenager after experiencing the violence of World War I and the disruption of his artistic training due to anti-Semitic policies. He arrived in New York City in 1921 and quickly found a welcoming environment among fellow artists, many of whom were also immigrants, at the Educational Alliance Art School. Despite difficult beginnings, Gross rose to become one of America’s leading twentieth-century sculptors and a key proponent of the direct carving movement. Although a small number of his works referenced his horrific early experiences and the later murder of family members in the Holocaust, his themes were largely joyful, showing mothers at play or acrobats and dancers.
