Description:
Rosian Zerner was born in Kaunas (Kovno), Lithuania, in 1935. When Germany invaded in 1941, Zerner and her family were confined to the Kovno Ghetto. When she was 6, her parents helped her escape through a hole they dug under the ghetto fence. Met by her father’s secretary, Zerner was hidden by several rescuers before being liberated by Soviet troops in 1944.

Description:
Portraiture was central to Jewish artistic practice across Europe before the war, a genre that affirmed individual identity, family continuity, and communal belonging. The Nazi persecution transformed these images into something more urgent: acts of witness, mourning, and at times defiance, made under conditions ranging from relative freedom to incarceration and imminent death. Rachel Perry, PhD, art historian and curator specializing in the representation of Holocaust memory and WWII, will examine how Jewish artists navigated questions of visibility, dignity, and memory in their portraits of individuals whose lives, and whose world, were under existential threat.

Description:
The Nazis stole art, but they also stole identity, history, and memory. Eighty years after World War II, thousands of stolen artworks have not been returned to their owners because laws permit institutions and third parties to retain them. Join award-winning author and prosecutor Adena Bernstein, granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, as she explores the remarkable stories behind Nazi-looted art in her new book, Stolen Legacies. This webinar will provide teachers with engaging strategies to bring history, ethics, and critical thinking into the classroom. Learn how to connect your students to history in ways that resonate, inspire, and promote empathy and justice.
