Description:
Based on nearly ten years of filming more than 250 survivors across the world, The Last Ones of Auschwitz brings together the voices of the very last witnesses of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Their stories reveal not only what happened during the war, but how Auschwitz stayed with them for a lifetime — shaping their silence, their families, their resilience, and the way they rebuilt their lives.
This session, led by co-author Leslie Gelrubin Benitah, Ph. D., will explore the process of gathering these stories, what “life with Auschwitz” truly means, and how educators can use these stories to deepen students’ understanding of trauma, survival, and memory.

Description:
Between 1940-1945 the sheer luck of where you were living made a world of difference to the Jews of Scandinavia. For unique political and geographic reasons, the Scandinavian Jews of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark had very different experiences. During the German occupation, Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. Defying the occupying German forces, and protecting fellow citizens, spontaneous and dramatic rescue operations were conducted to save thousands of Jewish lives. First hand personal accounts also convey the extraordinary ways Swedish diplomats leveraged their political position to save Jews from within Hungary and Germany.
Join us for a screening of the film followed by a talkback with Director Suzannah Warlick.

Description:
Hunger, the proverbial wolf at the door, is a universal experience. Eating may keep the beast at bay but it doesn’t tame it; calories alone can nourish the body, but not the mind and soul. For many with PTSD, including Holocaust survivors, food can be an incomplete escape into a more stable life. In How to Share an Egg—a narrative that interweaves the author’s own story with that of her Holocaust-survivor father, Saul — Bonny Reichert explores how identity and trauma can be preserved and transmuted across generations. Saul’s memories of suffering and sustenance feed Reichert’s hunger for understanding, tikkun (repair), and healing.
This book begins in 1945 with Saul on the brink of starvation after his recent liberation from the Flossenbürg concentration camp (preceded by imprisonment in the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and Sachsenhausen). This moment anchors the intergenerational trauma that Bonny explores throughout this book. Although her childhood in Edmonton, Canada could be described as genial, that would deny the profound darkness that she struggles with.
Author Bonny Reichert will join us via zoom.
Sponsored by the Barshop JCC and Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio
