During World War II, why didn’t the United States welcome Jewish refugees who were fleeing Europe or drop bombs on the railways leading to Auschwitz? Moreover, why didn’t many individual Americans support further action? Dr. Rafael Medoff authored The Jews Should Keep Quiet, which documents how President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressured Rabbi Stephen S. Wise and other prominent Jewish leaders to stifle American Jewish criticism of his policies. Dr. Medoff joins us for a look into the Roosevelt administration’s fateful policies during the Holocaust.

Dr. Rafael Medoff is the founding director of The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, located in Washington, D.C., and the author of more than 20 books about the Holocaust, Zionism, and American Jewish history.

Description:
Torn from their families by the ravages of Hitler’s armies, men and women, many barely in their teens, escaped into the forests, banding together in partisan brigades; engaging in treacherous acts of sabotage, blowing up trains, burning electric stations, and attacking armed enemy headquarters. Against extraordinary odds, over 25,000 Jewish partisans courageously fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators from deep within the forests of WWII’s Belarus, Ukraine and Eastern Europe.The last surviving partisans relive their journey in FOUR WINTERS, sharing their stories of resistance. Director Julia Mintz shines a spotlight on their transformation from young innocents raised in closely knit Jewish communities and families, to becoming fierce partisan soldiers with enduring hope, grit, magnificent courage and deep humanity.
Featuring the photography of Faye Schulman, partisan photographer, clad in her signature leopard coat, and through a fusion of inspiring and powerful first-person interviews with stunning archival footage, FOUR WINTERS uncovers secrets held for lifetimes, revealing a heartfelt narrative of heroism, determination and resilience.

Description:
Orthodox Jews suffered greatly during the Holocaust, yet their experiences have been inadequately studied by scholars. By examining diverse sources—including diaries, memoirs, letters, and photographs—we can shed light on previously unknown aspects of Orthodox Jewish life during the Holocaust. Moreover, by exploring themes—such as the early days of occupation, leadership dynamics, the experiences of Jewish youth, responses to adversity, and rescue efforts—we can advance the field of Holocaust studies as a whole.
Join us in person or virtually for this program exploring new research into the experiences of Orthodox Jews in German-occupied Poland and its impact on Holocaust studies.

Description:
Schindler’s Listed tells the story of Mark Biederman’s twenty-year quest to find gold coins which his father’s family buried in their backyard in Poland just prior to being deported by the Nazis to concentration camps. His father survived the war, but died when Mark was a teenager, leaving him only with the knowledge that he had buried the coins somewhere in Poland, and no information about his family. During his research, Biederman uncovered many interesting and disturbing facts about his parents and their families, such as the fact that his father was the third person on Oskar Schindler’s list and had a chance meeting with Adolf Hitler, and that his mother was selected as a cook for the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele.
Randi Biederman, co-author of the book, will discuss the journey to discover the family’s history during the Holocaust and their subsequent success in rebuilding their lives in the United States.
Randi Biederman is co-author of Schindler’s Listed: The Search for My Father’s Lost Gold. The non-fiction book tells the story of the Biederman family, of whom only two survived the very dark days of the Holocaust, the search for buried treasure, and a decades-long journey to uncover the truth about the family’s past. Randi is a former high school science teacher and spent her 30 years career in Windsor, Ontario. She is a widow, mother, horticulturist, writer, and speaker. Randi is a native of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
