Description:
"How will the Shoah be remembered in 2045 or 2100?” This question invites reflection on the legacy of this historical event in years to come, when the voices of the survivors will no longer be present to shed light on this atrocity. As of 2023, education on the Holocaust is inadequate, and with the passage of time, knowledge of the subject is diminishing.
Despite the fact that the Shoah is perhaps the most barbaric historic event documented, there are still those who deny or minimize its significance. Some historical revisionists exploit sophisticated technology and social media to disseminate their distorted perspectives, targeting not only antisemites and Holocaust deniers, but also those lacking proper education on the subject, in an attempt to shape public opinion.
How will the Shoah be remembered? Will the truth endure, or will it be reshaped by antisemitism? This seminar will examine this important subject matter.
Featuring:Dr. Charles Asher Small, Founder and Executive Director, ISGAP; Director, ISGAP-Woolf Institute Fellowship Training Programme on Critical Antisemitism Studies, Cambridge, U.K.
Dr. Stephanie Courouble-Share, Historian and Expert on Holocaust Denial, Paris, France
Dr. Julian Hargreaves, Director of Research, Woolf Institute, Cambridge, U.K.
Dr. Lev Topor, ISGAP-Woolf Institute Visiting Scholar in Critical Antisemitism Studies, Discrimination and Human Rights, Cambridge, U.K.

Holocaust PoemsThe Ackerman Center faculty has created a collection of important Holocaust poems. Read the 18 poems that they selected. The Ackerman Center has held multiple workshops with students and faculty to translate several of these poems into more than a dozen languages, and we are in the process of compiling them. We have produced a collection of translations of Holocaust poems into several languages such as Farsi, Spanish, Portuguese, Urdu, and Arabic.

Description:
The Richmond Country Family Court Gender Fairness Committee and Equal Justice in the Courts Historical Subcommittee present: Holocaust Remembrance - Women and Resistance in the Holocaust.
Shirley Gottesman, who grew up on a farm in Czechoslovakia, describes her tragic experiences in Auschwitz which included witnessing the uprising in the largest Nazi death camp in October 1944 in which women like Roza Robota played a key role.
Prof. Lori Weintrob, director of the Wagner College Holocaust Center, will explore how Jewish and non-Jewish women were vital to armed resistance against the Nazis as well as to a spectrum of spiritual, cultural and educational resistance efforts. If we want the next generation to be upstanders, we should teach them the courage of those who resisted, not only the Nazi perpetrators. The special responsibility to "know our neighbors" who survived World War II is captured in the newly-opened first permanent Holocaust Education and Action Gallery on Staten Island, at Wagner College.

Description:
The US Congress established the Days of Remembrance as the nation’s annual commemoration of the Holocaust, during which we remember the six million Jews who were murdered. Since 1982, the USHMM has organized and led the national Days of Remembrance ceremony with Holocaust survivors, Members of Congress, White House officials, the diplomatic corps, and community leaders. As the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum leads the nation in honoring the survivors, paying tribute to the rescuers, and celebrating the liberators, we are reminded of the power of their history to inspire all of us to confront antisemitism, all forms of group-targeted hate, and genocide.

Description:
Featuring Professor Richard Landes, Associate Professor Emeritus of
History, Boston University; this course will be an exploration of the
four historical chapters of his recent book, in which you discuss each of
the four incidents using the conceptual tools provided in the later
chapters. The course will examine the intersection of a range of themes
that shed light not only on the “new antisemitism” of the 21st
century, but its direct connection to the war on democracy and human
rights that has so disoriented and divided Western polities… and
continues to do so. It is an introduction to the shaping of the
upside-down world that the current generation was born into.
For parents of, and children entering the world of Western academia.
Session 1: The Oslo Jihad and the al Durah blood libelThe “al-Aqsa Intifada” was the first attack on a democracy by the
forces of Global Jihad, it also constitutes the first case in the
history of the modern news media of a pack “fake news” in which the
conflict was presented almost universally as a fight between “freedom
fighters” resisting Western colonialism, and fueled by a combination of
falsehoods both by commission (al-Durah) and omission (any mention of
Palestinian genocidal preaching) which laid the groundwork for Y2KMind: When Jihadis attack a democracy, blame the democracy.
These themes found a systematic consolidation at Durban (2001) where an
alliance between progressive “human rights” activists joined forces
with proponents of Global Jihad.
Will be held April 20 2023 at 10AM CST
Session 2: 9-11 and Y2KMind9-11 was the second attack on a democracy. Although many voices
opposed it, a range of “progressive” analysts, applied Y2KMind outside
of Israel. We analyze President Bush’s speech at the Islamic Center of
DC, Baudrillard’s oped in Le Monde, 9-11 conspiracy theories,
and the news medias acceptance of the principle “one man’s terrorist is
another’s freedom fighter.” The combination of attitudes that appear in
these separate cases has shaped the discourse of 21st century progressive discourse and produced a systemic disorientation that continues to dominate the democratic public sphere.
Will be held April 27 2023 at 10AM CST
Session 3: The Jenin Massacre and Own-Goal JournalismOperation Defensive Shield (April-May 2002) was the first campaign of
urban warfare against suicide-terror Jihadis who took cover behind
civilians. It was again, almost universally reported by Western news
media who were not eyewitnesses as an Israeli massacre of innocent
civilians, based entirely on claims made by Palestinians. Demonstrations
throughout the West took the side of Jihadis, in some cases wearing
mock suicide vests to show solidarity with those whose fellow Jihadis
would soon attack their countries. It also led to a wave of antisemitic
attacks in the West and the beginnings of the progressive boycott of
Israel. It also produced the sudden appearance of “as-a-Jew” Jews who,
without any previous public identification as Jewish, now felt called
upon to denounce Israel to the nations.
Will be held May 4 2023 at 10AM CST
Session 4: The Danish Cartoon Scandal and the Extension of Shariah to Dar al HarbThe controversy around the Danish newspaper, Jylands Post, publishing
12 cartoons of Muhammad (only eight of which dared to depict the
prophet), constitutes the first major cognitive war campaign against the
West in which Caliphators tried to extend the laws of Shariah to
infidels not living under Muslim Rule (i.e. those in Dar al Islam). They
did this through fake news (3 forged and deeply blasphemous cartoons),
by which staged a moral emergency, and deployed the Muslim Street in the
West. The Western reaction, while framed in a language of respect and
consideration, established the basic principles of pre-emptive
dhimmitude, or the adoption of submissive behavior as a way of
postponing Jihadi attack.
Will be held May 11 2023 at 10AM CST
This course costs $100. Register here.
Classes will be held virtually on Zoom. Recordings will be made available to registered participants who are not able to attend live sessions. Limited student scholarships are available, to apply contact daphne.klajman@isgap.org.

Description:
Shocked by what he discovered upon entering Bergen-Belsen with the British Second Army in April 1945, Deputy Director of Medical Services Glyn Hughes did not initially know how he would go about stemming typhus, burying thousands of dead, and arranging medical treatment for 25,00 of 60,000 "displaced persons" in dire need of hospitalization.
In this talk, Bernice Lerner will describe how a small group of rescuers went about trying to save lives. She will share astonishing stories about the unprecedented liberation--from the perspectives of both liberators and survivors, including her mother, then fifteen-year-old Rachel Genuth. Attendees will also learn why the event was a watershed in the life of the high-ranking Hughes and those with whom he served.
PD hours and co-curricular credits will be provided.
