Musical Theater and Nazi Era Narratives: Exploring a Complex History   View Event

  • Tuesday, November 29, 2022 at 6:00pm - 7:30pm
  • Calendar:   Speaking Engagements
  • Location:  Virtual
  • Description:  The Holocaust Resource Center of Kean University and the Holocaust Resource Foundation invite the public to their upcoming Murray Pantirer Memorial Scholar Lecture and 40th Anniversary Commemoration on Tuesday, November 29, at 6:00PM CT. The event will take place in the STEM building, located at Kean University: 1075 Morris Avenue, Union, NJ 07083. ASL interpretation will be provided. For those unable to join in-person, the program will be live-streamed. Dr. Judah Cohen, The Lou and Sybil Mervis Professor in the Study of Jewish Culture at Indiana University, will address musical theater as an artistic language that has critiqued the politics of Nazism since the 1930s, strategically leveling its commentary through very fantasy and "unreality" that sometimes makes it the basis of criticism today. By looking at three lesser-known works, we can forge a deeper portrait of the form and its artists, while addressing musical theater's complex moral tension as a vessel for Holocaust memory. This commemorative program is free of charge and open to the public. For more information, please contact Dr. Adara Goldberg, Director at 908.737.4633 or via e-mail. To attend, please register here.

History Highlights - Protocols of the Elders of Zion: A Global Conspiracy   View Event

  • Wednesday, November 30, 2022 at 7:00pm - 8:00pm
  • Calendar:   Workshops
  • Location:  Zoom
  • Description:  In 1905, a text called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion  appeared in publication in Russia. An elaborate conspiracy theory, it alleged that Jewish leaders had a secret plan to rule the world by controlling the economy, influencing the press, and inciting religious conflict. Though quickly confirmed to be a hoax, the text continues to be promoted and circulated globally in an effort to scapegoat Jews for the world’s problems. Dr. Sara Abosch-Jacobson, Barbara Rabin Chief Education Officer, discusses the history of the Protocols and why a proven deception continues to be disseminated today. This program is part of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum's History Highlights Series. Space is limited! Please register for one ticket per device used. This virtual event will take place on the online platform Zoom. A link to join will be sent to registered guests via email one hour before the start of the program. Register here.
