Description:
In 2020, the Vatican announced the opening of the archives covering the pontificate of Pius XII (1939-1958), reviving public controversies surrounding Pius XII's silences in the face of Nazi atrocities. What exactly do these new sources reveal, and how do they contribute to our understanding of the Holocaust, WWII and the power of religion? Do they help us comprehend the Vatican's deep ambivalences, between charity and prejudice, in the face of anti-Jewish persecution? What do they tell us about the lives of Holocaust victims and their attempts to survive by turning to the Vatican for help? Rome-based historian and scholar Dr. Nina Valbousquet will utilize her expertise in Catholic and Jewish history to shine a light on these fascinating new discoveries.

Description:
In 1982, the secret that Reinhold Kulle had long concealed finally came to light. The chief custodian at the local high school had been a Nazi, a member of the SS, a guard at a brutal slave labor camp. As the Office of Special Investigations raced to uncover Nazis in the United States, neighbors across the country were left to reconcile horrific accusations with the kind and soft-spoken men they thought they knew. Author and social studies teacher Michael Soffer will use the Kulle case to discuss the fraught efforts to bring America's Nazis to justice, and provide examples for how to incorporate this jarring history in the classroom.
This webinar connects to Units 9 and 10 on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Description:
Please join as Dr. Alan L. Berger, Raddock Family Eminent Scholar Chair for Holocaust Studies at Florida Atlantic University, presents the Michael and Elaine Jaffe Lecture in conjunction with the 55th Annual Scholars' Conference.
The past decade has witnessed a veritable explosion of novels, short stories, graphic novels, and films dealing with the traumatic legacy of Holocaust inheritance on the third generation (grandchildren of survivors - and perpetrators). The interpretive issue can be framed between "Post memory" (M. Hirsch) and "living after" (E. Hoffman). A helpful trope is offered by (G. Bayer) who observes an approach to navigating the Holocaust attempts to "bridge the gap to the present, thereby making traumatic events of the past relevant for the present."
This event is being presented free of charge, but registration is required via this link. Please note - lunch may not be guaranteed for RSVPs made after March 3rd. PARKINGParking is available at PS1.

Description:
This virtual course provides an in-depth exploration of ethical dilemmas faced by corporations during historical periods of conflict, specifically focusing on the behavior and decisions of companies in Nazi Germany. The course will examine how these historical legacies continue to influence corporate practices and ethics today. Students will engage with case studies, historical analyses, and contemporary corporate challenges, developing a nuanced understanding of leadership, ethics, and corporate responsibility.
Scholar: Colinne S. Bartel is a lecturer with a diverse background in corporate strategy, business development, and academic research. Her research interests span corporate engagement in national development, World War II, defense strategy, environmental engagement, and cultural interchange.
Ms. Bartel holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of California, Los Angeles, a Master of Arts in International Relations from Claremont Graduate School, and a dual MBA in Strategy and Finance from The Peter F. Drucker School of Management and EDHEC Business School in Nice, France. Since 2002, she has been based in Germany, where she has made significant contributions to various industries.
Her corporate career includes serving as Chief Operating Officer for a McKinsey & Company venture, overseeing a high-yield debt offering for cable television, and managing 29 acquisitions for an Advent International management team that executed one of the fastest-growing telecommunications buy-and-build projects in Europe. Currently, she is the owner of Truffle Time, a thought leadership platform that explores critical macro issues affecting the world today. Additionally, AC Innovation GmbH, where she is a key figure, acts as a marketing and business development catalyst for entrepreneurs.
Colinne’s diverse expertise and passion for sports, the arts, and cultural exchange further enrich her professional and personal endeavors.
Session 1: Introduction to Corporate Ethics and Historical ContextThe first session sets the stage for understanding the ethical challenges faced by corporations during times of conflict, using Nazi Germany as a case study. Participants will be introduced to key concepts, such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and the balance between profit and corporate responsibility, to frame the discussion. The session will explore how companies navigated the complex ethical landscape of supporting government policies during the Third Reich while pursuing financial gain. By examining selected readings and testimonies, students will start to think critically about the long-term implications of these corporate choices and their impact on today’s corporate practices. The goal is to encourage participants to engage with these historical complexities and think in “shades of gray,” recognizing that decision-making in such contexts is rarely black and white.
