Description:
Kupferberg Holocaust Center- CUNY
Join Dr. Alexander Hinton, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, Director of the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights, and UNESCO Chair on Genocide Prevention at Rutgers University, for a discussion about how the rise of political extremism and hate speech contributes to a growing atmosphere of insecurity and dehumanization in our society. Dr. Hinton will also reflect upon how the plays, “Julio Ain’t Goin Down Like That” and “Letters from Anne and Martin,” as well as the film, “BENT,” use performance to come to terms with antisemitism, transphobia, and racism.
This event is part of a special collaboration between the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and the QCC-CUNY LGBTQIA+ Consortium in a semester-long project entitled “Performance as Prevention.” The event is co-sponsored by the Holocaust, Genocide and Interfaith Education Center at Manhattan College; the Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at Western Washington University; the Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies at the US Military Academy at West Point; the Holocaust & Human Rights Center in White Plains; and the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights at Rutgers University.

Description:
In this interactive session, participants will discuss short excerpts describing the painful realization of what it means to be oppressed. Professor Dorian Stuber will consider texts by Sarah Kofman and Nechama Tec. Despite their differences in national origin and living situations, each writer grappled with what it meant to be a stranger in her own land. Using Michael Rothberg’s idea of “multidirectional memory,” the session will conclude by using the African American sociologist W. E. B. DuBois’s articulation of “double consciousness” as an accessible conceptual language for understanding the self-awareness of persecuted minorities and placing the Holocaust in relation to other histories of oppression.
PD hours & co-curricular credit will be provided.

Description:
Lecture description: Peace is not a wish. Peace is not something you want, dream of, and wait for others to deliver. Peace is an action. Many, many actions. Whether in one’s heart, community, or world, peace requires our daily actions. With over three decades of experience as a student activist, a professional agent of change working on campaigns to end violence against women, landmines, and child soldiers, Loung will explore how we can all lead in our daily lives to make a difference in our world.
About the speaker: Loung Ung was only 5 years old when the Khmer Rouge soldiers stormed into her native city of Phnom Penh. Four years later, in one of the bloodiest episodes of the 20th century, some two million Cambodians – including both of Loung's parents, two sisters, and 20 other relatives – had been killed. Ung herself went on to become a bestselling author and an activist who has devoted herself to helping her native land heal from the traumas of war. She has worked as an activist to end violence against women, child soldiers, and more. Loung's bestselling memoir, First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers, was a 2001 recipient of the Asian/Pacific American Librarians’ Association award for Excellence in Adult Non-fiction Literature, and it is widely taught in high schools and universities across the U.S. and internationally. She is also the co-screenplay writer of the critically acclaimed 2017 Netflix Original Movie based off this memoir that was produced and directed by Angelina Jolie. Selected as one of the "100 Global Youth Leaders of Tomorrow" by the World Economic Forum, Ung has also been featured in numerous publications, television shows, and radio shows.

Description:
In Nazi Germany, the medical field was part of the larger effort to dehumanize anyone who did not conform to the idea of a “healthy German nation.”
Dr. Sabine Hildebrandt, who teaches the history of anatomy at Harvard Medical School, scrutinizes the biographies of medical professionals during the Nazi era and restores the histories of victims subjected to coercive medical experimentation both before and after death. Dr. Hildebrandt also considers the legacies of this history for the present, including how to ethically approach work with human remains in historical collections at universities, museums, and historical institutions.

Sabine teaches anatomy and history and ethics of anatomy at Harvard Medical School and Harvard College. Her research interests are the history and ethics of anatomy, and her educational approach integrates anatomy, medical history, and medical ethics.
Among other publications on anatomy, medicine, Nazi Germany, and the Holocaust, her 2016 book The Anatomy of Murder: Ethical Transgressions and Anatomical Science during the Third Reich is the first systematic study of anatomy in Nazi Germany. In this context, she has co-edited Recommendations on How to Deal with Holocaust Era Human Remains, known as the Vienna Protocol. As co-chair of The Lancet Commission on Medicine, Nazism, and the Holocaust: Historical Evidence, Implications for Today, Teaching for Tomorrow, she co-authored this commissions report published on Nov 8, 2023. As a member of the American Association for Anatomy Task Force on Legacy Collections and of the Human Remains in the Harvard Museum Collections Research Review Committee, Sabine is involved in formulating recommendations on how to ethically approach work with human remains in historical collections.

The Cohen Center is pleased to be partnering with the Holocaust Resource Center at Kean University to present a special online event this April. Professional development credits for educators are available.
Event Description: On July 16-17, 1942 in Occupied Paris, more than 13,000 French Jews were arrested by French Police. The victims were held in deplorable conditions at the Vélodrome d'Hiver or Vel d'Hiv, an indoor cycling stadium until they were sent to detainment camps outside of Paris where they either died or were deported to concentration camps. Dr. Eileen Angelini’s presentation will discuss how the Vichy Government planned this round-up and how the French government and people have since dealt with the pain.

Description:
The Jewish Federation of Las Cruces and El Paso is pleased to announce a special weekend concert series with Trio Sefardi, April 5-7, 2024.
Trio Sefardi (Susan Gaeta, vocals/guitar; Tina Chancey, viola da gamba, Renaissance violin, Pontic lyra, rebec; Howard Bass, lute/guitar) is dedicated to bringing the vibrant past into the living present and to continuing the musical traditions of those who created and sustained Sephardic song traditions over the centuries.
The trio draws on experience in folk music and jazz (Susan), early music (Tina and Howard), and the influence of their mentor, the Bosnian-born Sephardic singer/composer Flory Jagoda, a 2002 National Heritage Fellowship honoree. The trio has performed at the Kennedy Center, at the Center for Jewish History and the Greek Jewish Festival in New York City, at the National Gallery of Art, annually at the Washington Folk Festival, and at Lisner Auditorium as a featured group in the Washington Revels production, “Andalusian Treasures.” In 2019, they appeared at the prestigious Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, S.C., and in the same year, they presented the premiere of “La Nona Kanta: The Remarkable Life of Flory Jagoda,” in South Windsor, Connecticut, with support from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Our region has three different opportunities to enjoy and learn about this rich musical history:
Friday, April 5, there will be a concert at Temple Mount Sinai at 6:000 pm. This program includes Friday night services highlighting Jewish liturgical and holiday melodies of the Sephardic tradition. It will be followed by a dinner and talk back with the Trio.
On Saturday, April 6, a concert at 8:30 pm at the Sunset Parlor near downtown El Paso will highlight new and traditional music from the Balkans, Turkey, and North Africa.
We wrap up the weekend with “La Nona Kanta: The Remarkable Life of Flory Jagoda" presentation on Sunday, April 7 at 11:00 a.m. in Las Cruces. This multimedia program combines filmed interviews with Flory (from the documentary "Flory's Flame"), live music performed by the trio, animation, maps, still images, and spoken narration.
The trio has produced three CDs: Sefardic Celebration (2011), Kaminos (2016), and La Yave d’Espanya (2019), all available for purchase after Saturday and Sunday concerts. Tickets to all shows can be purchased here or at www.jfedeplc.org/events/triosefardi

Please join us for this commemorative event on April 7, which marks the start of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda that lasted through mid-July 1994. In this 100-day period, up to one million people perished and as many as 250,000 women were raped, leaving the country’s population traumatized and its infrastructure decimated. Since then, Rwanda has embarked on an ambitious Justice and reconciliation process with the ultimate aim of all Rwandans once again living side by side in peace.
