SUMMARY:The Ghetto Fighters' House invites you to a new four part series:  Violated!:  Sexual Abuse During and After the Holocaust: 2nd Session
DESCRIPTION:The Ghetto Fighters’ House invites you to a new four part series: Violated!: Sexual Abuse During and After the Holocaust\nThe second program will take place on Sunday\, February 19th: Birth\, Sex and Abuse: Women’s Voices under Nazi Rule \n\nGuest Speaker: \nDr. Beverley Chalmers \nThe Nazis abused reproduction and sexuality to create an ideological ‘Master Race.’ They prohibited those deemed ‘Life unworthy of life’ from having sex or reproducing while promoting these among those deemed ‘worthy of life.’ Holocaust literature gives exhaustive attention to ‘direct’ means of exterminating Jews\, by using gas chambers\, torture\, starvation\, disease\, and intolerable conditions in ghettos and camps\, and by the Einsatzgruppen. Manipulating reproduction and sexuality – as a less ‘direct\,’ but also abusive\, method of genocide of Jews\, or its antithesis – geno-coercion among ‘Aryans\,’- has not yet received the same attention\, and will be examined in this presentation. \nThis program is in partnership with the Remember the Women Institute\, Women in the Holocaust – International Study Center (MORESHET)\, Wagner College Holocaust Center\, Classrooms Without Borders\, Rabin Chair Forum Washington University\, and the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Center.

SUMMARY:America and The Holocaust: A Series of Colloquies
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Michael Berenbaum joins CWB for a groundbreaking look into the controversy surrounding America and the Holocaust.\n\n\nClassrooms Without Borders is excited to offer the opportunity share our new series: America and The Holocaust: A Series of Colloquies. \nThe new PBS Documentary U.S. and the Holocaust has sparked debate over America’s response to one of the greatest humanitarian crises of the 20th century. \nIn each of our 6 part series Dr. Michael Berenbaum will explore this complicated debate. \nEach session will feature an scholar whose work will shed new light on the topic and challenge us to reframe our understanding of the complex portrait of national inaction. \nFebruary 15th 2023 featuring’s Session\nA Discussion Surrounding \n“Ben Hecht:The Legendary Writer Who Mobilized Hollywood on Behalf of the European Jews”  Featuring: Rick Richman\n  \nBen Hecht was a journalist\, author\, essayist\, screenwriter\, polemicist\, Zionist — and a prophet. Learn how this one-man multimedia operation sent the English language into battle on behalf of the European Jews\, at their moment of greatest peril — and forced the Roosevelt Administration to respond. \nFeaturing: Rick Richman \nRick Richman is a resident scholar at American Jewish University in Los Angeles. He has written for Commentary\, Mosaic\, The New York Sun\, The Jewish Journal\, The Jewish Press\, The New York Post\, PJ Media\, and other publications\, and is the author of Racing Against History: The 1940 Campaign for a Jewish Army to Fight Hitler (Encounter Books\, 2018). \nBOOK SUMMARY: \nAnd None Shall Make Them Afraid recounts the story of how Zionism\, supported by Americanism\, created a modern miracle—told through the little-known stories of eight individuals who collectively changed history. \nThe book presents eight historic figures—four from Europe (Theodor Herzl\, Chaim Weizmann\, Vladimir Jabotinsky\, Abba Eban) and four from America (Louis D. Brandeis\, Golda Meir\, Ben Hecht\, Ron Dermer)—who reflect the intellectual and social revolutions that Zionism and Americanism brought to the world. \nIn some cases\, the stories have been forgotten; in other cases\, misrepresented; in still others\, not yet given their full due. But they are central to the miraculous recovery of the Jewish people in the twentieth century. Taken together\, they recount both a people’s return to its place among the nations and the impact on history that a single individual can make. \nMore than a century ago\, after studying the early Zionist texts\, Louis Brandeis concluded that Jews were the “trustees” of their history\, charged to “carry forward what others\, in the past\, have borne so well.” The stories in this book—recording the extraordinary efforts of extraordinary individuals that created the modern state of Israel and then sustained it—reinforce Brandeis’s observation for our own time. \nThe story of Zionism\, and its interaction with Americanism\, is a continuing one. The book is thus not only about the past\, but the present and future as well. \n\n\nDr. Michael Berenbaum \n\n\n\nDr. Michael Berenbaum is a writer\, lecturer\, and teacher consulting in the conceptual development of museums and historical films. He is director of the Sigi Ziering Institute: Exploring the Ethical and Religious Implications of the Holocaust at the American Jewish University\, where he is also a Professor of Jewish Studies. \nHe was the Executive Editor of the Second Edition of the Encyclopedia Judaica that reworked\, transformed\, improved\, broadened and deepened\, the now classic 1972 work and consists of 22 volumes\, sixteen million words with 25\,000 individual contributions to Jewish knowledge. For three years\, he was President and Chief Executive Officer of the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation. He was the Director of the United States Holocaust Research Institute at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Hymen Goldman Adjunct Professor of Theology at Georgetown University in Washington\, D.C. From 1988–93 he served as Project Director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum\, overseeing its creation. He also served as Deputy Director of the President’s Commission on the Holocaust\, where he authored its Report to the President. \nBerenbaum is the author and editor of twenty books\, scores of scholarly articles\, and hundreds of journalistic pieces. His most recent books include: Not Your Father’s Antisemitism\, A Promise to Remember: The Holocaust in the Words and Voices of Its Survivors and After the Passion Has Passed: American Religious Consequences\, a collection of essays on Jews\, Judaism and Christianity\, Religious Tolerance and Pluralism occasioned by the controversy that swirled around Mel Gibson’s film\, The Passion. He was the conceptual developer on the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Educational Center and played a similar function as conceptual developer and chief curator of the Belzec Memorial at the site of the Death Camp. He is currently at work on the Memorial Museum to Macedonian Jewry in Skopje\, the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum\, and the Holocaust and Humanity Center in Cincinnati\, Ohio. \nFuture Sessions in this Series: \n\nMarch 15th 2023 John Sears: Refuge Must Be Given\, Eleanor Roosevelt and the Holocaust. \nApril\, May and June Guests COMING SOON\n\nPast Sessions: \n\nJanuary 18th 2023: A conversation with award winning filmmaker Pierre Savage on Varian Fry: The First American honored as a Righteous Among the Nations of the Earth by Yad Vashem for the rescue of a Cultural Elite in Vichy France 1940-1941.\n\nThank you to our Partners \n \n \nFounded in 1981 as a series of conferences on the Holocaust and its contemporary meaning\, the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida opened its current museum in 1986\, founded by Holocaust Survivor and local philanthropist\, Tess Wise. Located in Maitland\, just outside Orlando\, the Holocaust Center attracts visitors from around the world.

SUMMARY:Love After Loss
DESCRIPTION:Love After Loss\nIn time for Valentine’s Day\, this webinar\, facilitated by Sheryl Ochayon\, will reveal the love stories behind survivors’ attempts to “return to life” after the Holocaust. Just as love often allowed survivors to retain their humanity during the Holocaust\, love after liberation also helped them recover their humanity in the face of destruction. We will tell their stories and discover lessons about resilience and the human spirit.\n\nThis webinar connects with Echoes & Reflections’ Unit 6: Liberation.

It is beautifully crafted and performed” (Judy Unwin\, Global T.V.\, Canada) \n“A document of real emotion. Affecting production\, performed with sensitivity by Roy Horovitz… ‘MY FIRST SONY’ is not a soap opera. The story feels genuine\, Yotam is every 11-year-old you’ve ever met and the story-teller avoid milking his story for cheap emotions and tears. There will be tears but they will be very real” (Colin Maclean\, EdmontonSun)

SUMMARY:Post Film Discussion Sabotage: A SNEAK PEAK
DESCRIPTION:Post Film Discussion Sabotage: with Director Noa Aharoni\, Illustrator Avi Katz\, moderated by Avi Ben Hur\n\n\nJanuary 1945\, less than two weeks before the evacuation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp\, four forced laborers women\, Estusia Wajcblum\, Rosa Robota\, Ella Gartner\, and Regina Safirstein were hanged in public\, accused of sabotaging the Nazi war machine. \nUnder the horrific inferno of Auschwitz\, Anna Wajcblum Heilman\, Estusia’s sister and the youngest member of the women’s resistance underground writes a diary\, describing how over thirty Jewish women\, forced laborers of the “Union” munition factory\, took part in a dangerous smuggling operation\, stealing small portions of gunpowder from the factory and passing it from one to another until it gets to the Sonderkommando men\, planning a large-scale rebellion. \nOn October 7th 1944\, the rebellion spontaneously erupted and prisoners lit up crematorium no 4. In the SS investigation\, some gunpowder from the “Union” was found and suspicions against the women workers were raised. In the dark basements of Auschwitz\, the SS brutally tortured Estusia\, Regina\, Rosa\, and Ella to obtain information about the revolt.  \nThe four took sole blame for the entire underground activity to protect their friends and sisters and were publicly hanged. \nThrough the eyes of Anna Wajcblum Heilman\, Sabotage tells the day-to-day routine of the camp which consists also of many little moments of camaraderie and friendship between young women shaped under harsh circumstances. \n \n\n \n\n\nNoa Aharoni \nWinner of the Best Documentary Film Award (Forum of Documentary Creators\, Israel). Nominated for the Ophir Award for Best Documentary. Noa Aharoni graduated with a degree in TV and Cinema from Sapir College in 1994. In 2017 her documentary movie “Shadows” about the abuse among the second generation of the Holocaust by their survivor parents\, was selected for the prestigious Docaviv Film Festival and IDFA. “By Summer’s End”\, Noah’s first feature film from 2011 has won a Distribution Award and was nominated for the Awards of the Israeli Academy. The film was screened at Haifa International Film Festival (Honorable Mention) and Rehovot Women Film Festival. \n\n\n\nDirectors Statement:  \nWhen I ask myself what attracted me to the making of the film “Sabotage”\, my answer is unequivocal. The female perspective on the Holocaust\, or if you will\, the heroism of women in the Holocaust. The story of the women and their rebellion has been forgotten from the pages of history\, in this film I seek to continue the process they had begun so long ago\, to give these women faces and names\, and to talk about their courage. This film brings their story to memory and consciousness\, thereby correcting the historical injustice. \nAnother challenge that I wanted to crack is a cinematic challenge. I want to talk about a plot that took place 75 years ago\, with contemporary and interesting aesthetic and cinematic tools. I am a director of both feature films and documentaries and the combination of them in my opinion\, in this film\, is the secret that will bring the viewer to the emotional place I am looking for in my films. \n\n\nAvi Katz \nAvi A. Katz\, aka Avitz\, is a graduate from the School of Visual Arts who made his start working on Nickelodeon’s Blue’s Clues in New York City. His training in animation is evident in his observational pieces\, which make striking use of color and shading. One of the artist’s favorite subjects to draw is cities\, urban landscapes\, and buildings\, which he enhances with details of people\, streetlights\, skylines\, and electrical wires. The artist’s skill is best displayed in his meticulously created renderings of urban scenes\, which showcase his keen eye. Using predominantly chalk and markers for his illustrations\, Avitz contrasts warm and cold tones with bold strokes of dark color to give his pieces more weight. His unconventional approach to the medium and whimsical art style aim to blur the lines between fine art and graphic design. \nAvi Ben-Hur \nScholar in Residence \nAvi Ben-Hur is an Israeli-American scholar and guide who has been living in Jerusalem since 1983. From 2003-2008 Avi directed a national guiding school for Archaeological Seminars. Avi is a lecturer and field guide in the University of Haifa’s Tourism school and has taught in Yad Vashem’s International School for Holocaust Studies. \nAs a scholar in residence\, Avi has run seminars for Classrooms Without Borders and the Florence Melton School for Adult Jewish Education in Greece\, Berlin\, Prague\, Israel and Poland. \nAvi’s expertise lies in the geo-political issues underlying the Arab-Israeli conflict\, Interfaith encounters and in Holocaust studies. \n\n\n\nThank you to our partners:\n\n\n\n\nFounded in 1981 as a series of conferences on the Holocaust and its contemporary meaning\, the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida opened its current museum in 1986\, founded by Holocaust Survivor and local philanthropist\, Tess Wise.

SUMMARY:DISCOVERING THE "JEWISH JESUS"
DESCRIPTION:In this three-session course\, we will seek to uncover the figure of “Jesus the Jew” from the pages of the New Testament.\n\n\nPresumably\, this should not be difficult. After all\, the New Testament contains a great deal of information about the life and teachings of Jesus. \nHowever\, according to most academic scholars of the New Testament\, there is a chronological gap which spans some forty to seventy years between the death of Jesus and the writing of the Four Gospels\, the primary record of his life and teachings. This can be an obstacle in our quest to uncover\, as Amy-Jill Levine\, a prominent Jewish scholar of the New Testament puts it\, “the man from Nazareth as he was understood in his own context and as he understood himself.” \nWe will begin by recreating the Jewish milieu of Jesus’ world – in other words\, the period of late Second Temple Judaism. Against this backdrop\, we will draw on the Gospel material to examine the nature of Jesus’ relationship to Judaism. \nIn the second session\, we will explore the vexed question of the Gospel writers’ portrayal of Jesus’ relationship to the Jews of his day and consider whether\, as some would argue\, the New Testament is an anti-Jewish document. \nThe final session will take place a month or so before the advent of Passover and Easter. Accordingly\, we will closely examine whether there is any substance to the commonly held view that Jesus’ Last Supper was a Passover meal \n\nPaul Forgasz \n\n\nFor more than a decade\, Paul Forgasz was principal of the secondary (grades 7-12) campus of Mt Scopus College\, a large K-12 Jewish day school in Melbourne\, Australia. He also lectured in Bible and Jewish history at Monash University’s Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation and taught about Jewish education\, as well as school leadership\, in the university’s Faculty of Education. Since 2010\, Paul has also curated and led Jewish study tours to various European destinations under the auspices of the Jewish Museum of Australia. For most of his professional life\, Paul has also been actively involved in Jewish-Christian dialogue and he also works closely with teachers in the Catholic education sector. \n\n1st Session February 7th 2023\n2nd Session February 21 2023\n3rd Session March 7 2023\n\nThis is a 3 session course: You only need to register ONCE and will be sent the ZOOM link before each session. \nWe are offering PA Educators 5 Professional Development hours for attending the entirety of this course.

SUMMARY:Sunday Salon Series - with Dr. Wendy Lower in Conversation with Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff
DESCRIPTION:DR. WENDY LOWER\nAuthor and Professor of History at Claremont McKenna College\nWendy Lower’s stunning account of the role of German women on the World War II Nazi eastern front powerfully revises history\, proving that we have ignored the reality of women’s participation in the Holocaust\, including as brutal killers. The long-held picture of German women holding down the home front during the war\, as loyal wives and cheerleaders for the Führer\, pales in comparison to Lower’s incisive case for the massive complicity\, and worse\, of the 500\,000 young German women she places\, for the first time\, directly in the killing fields of the expanding Reich.

SUMMARY:Post Film Discussion Liga Terezin
DESCRIPTION:Post Film Discussion Liga Terezin with Oded Breda\, Michael Schwartz \, Moderated by Avi Ben Hur\n\n\n“LIGA TEREZIN” is a documentary film ( 2012\, 52 minutes) that tells the incredible story of the soccer league which took place in Ghetto Theresienstadt\, 40 miles North West of Prague (now in the Czech Republic). \nFrom 1942 to 1944\, Jewish prisoners played hundreds of soccer matches on improvised fields set up in the court-yards of the Barracks where they lived. Thousands of spectators watched a mixture of professional and amateur players and briefly escaped the reality of their terrible plight: the hunger\, the sickness and death. All the while they lived in a shroud of fear casted by the terror of the transports that sent people to the “East” and their certain death. \nIn the summer of 1944\, the Nazis made a propaganda film which highlighted the cultural activities in the ghetto. Oded Breda identified his uncle in the soccer sequence and this discovery set him on a quest to uncover information regarding the sport that took place in the ghetto. He interviewed a number of Holocaust survivors who played and watched football in the ghetto as well as a survivor who was on the film’s camera crew. He also watched games in Prague and Amsterdam where he saw the way modern day spectators expressing their anti-Semitic feelings. In Amsterdam he interviewed the Jewish Chairman of Ajax (one of the most famous teams in Europe) who has to contend with the fall out caused by the reaction to the Ajax fans who call themselves\, “The Jews”. \nBreda has harnessed the modern day connection between the Holocaust and Soccer as a vehicle to commemorate the players of the Terezin League. The film illustrates the educational power this opportunity presents when German and Israeli youth soccer players visit Yad Vashem together. \nToday\, soccer is the most watch sport in the world and the love for the ‘Beautiful Game’ has inspired the creators of the film to dedicate it to the players and spectators of ‘LIGA TEREZIN’ \n \n\n \n\n\nOded Breda \nOded is Second Generation to the holocaust. He is married and grandfather. Army rank:Major in Infantry. 2 wars. BA History. High Tech career. Director of Beit Theresienstadt\, Holocaust Museum and Education Center. He is a Julius Hirsch Award winner. Zionist.

This collection is part of the archival legacy of the Łódź ghetto. \nThe fate of the library of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin\, or\, Academy of the Sages of Lublin\, is one of the greatest mysteries from the postwar history of Jewish heritage in Poland. Piotr Nazaruk from the “Grodzka Gate–NN Theater” Center will discuss how the center is reconstructing the postwar history of this unique book collection\, show documents proving its survival\, and\, most of all\, show nearly three hundred books\, held mainly in the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw and the National Library of Israel\, that were part of the Yeshiva Library. \nThis program is in partnership with the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw\, the Polish Institute in Tel-Aviv\, the Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre in Lublin\, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Center\, Liberation 75\, Classrooms without Borders\, and the Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University.

SUMMARY:The Shape and Color of Survival
DESCRIPTION:The Shape and Color of Survival.\nSamuel Bak (born Vilnius\, Lithuania\, 12 August 1933)\nLecture by Ori Z Soltes\, PhD\, Georgetown University\, Washington DC\n  \n \nSamuel Bak was 6 years old when the Nazis began ending his childhood\, as the war that they engendered would soon extend to his native Vilnius. The number “6” became an important element in his art\, since it is also the number of the Commandment with which God enjoins us not to commit murder\, for which the Holocaust represented such a profound abrogation. His father smuggled him out of the ghetto in the sack that he was still permitted to use to gather firewood—and was subsequently murdered by the regime. By then Bak himself had already chosen his career as an artist—he had his first exhibit\, as a young boy\, in the Ghetto itself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSamuel Bak © Samuel Bak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSamuel Bak © Samuel Bak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter the Holocaust\, he and his mother immigrated to Palestine\, and as his life as a painter developed\, he migrated from Israel to Paris and ultimately to Western Massachusetts. There\, where he continues to reside\, he expanded his prolific and exceedingly skillful work–paint that appears as stone or wood masquerading as human flesh; figures and landscapes as surreal as they are straightforward. He offers a deeply configured narrative of the Jewish experience\, as literal\, metaphorical\, and mystical. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSamuel Bak\, The Family\, 1974. oil on canvas. Private collection © Samuel Bak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSamuel Bak © Samuel Bak \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis talk\, illustrated with a range of paintings drawn from his both dark and yet often hopeful career—they draw the beauty of survival out of scarred emotional and intellectual depths—will explore Bak’s haunting imagery\, at once insightful and inciteful\, as it transcends the border between past and future\, subsuming time and space into an eternal present. \nOri Z Soltes\, PhD\, teaches at Georgetown University across a range of disciplines\, from art history and theology to philosophy and political history. He is the former Director of the B’nai B’rith Klutznick National Jewish Museum\, and has curated more than 90 exhibitions across the country and overseas. He has authored or edited 25 books and several hundred articles and essays. Recent volumes include Our Sacred Signs: How Jewish\, Christian and Muslim Art Draw from the Same Source; The Ashen Rainbow: Essays on the Arts and the Holocaust; and Tradition and Transformation: Three Millennia of Jewish Art & Architecture; and Growing Up Jewish in India: Synagogues\, Ceremonies\, and Customs from the Bene Israel to the art of Siona Benjamin. \nIntroduced by Rachel Stern\, Director and CEO of the Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted\, Ostracized and Banned Art. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto of Samuel Bak\, Puckergallery\, CC BY-SA 4.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0>\, via Wikimedia Commons

SUMMARY:The Nazi Titanic The Incredible Untold Story of a Doomed Ship in World War II
DESCRIPTION:The Holocaust Teacher Institute Is Proud to Announce The Leslie and Susan Gonda (Goldschmied) Foundation\nHolocaust/Jewish Themed Sunday Salon Series \nThe Nazi Titanic: The Incredible Untold Story of a Doomed Ship in World War II\nDr. Robert P. Watson in Conversation with Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff \n \nBuilt in 1927\, the German ocean liner SS Cap Arcona was the greatest ship since the RMS Titanic and one of the most celebrated luxury liners in the world. When the Nazis seized control in Germany\, she was stripped down for use as a floating barracks and troop transport. Although the British government sealed many documents pertaining to the ship’s sinking\, Dr. Watson has unearthed forgotten records\, conducted many interviews\, and used over 100 sources\, including diaries and oral histories\, to expose this story. As a result\, The Nazi Titanic is a riveting and astonishing account of an enigmatic ship that played a devastating role in World War II and the Holocaust.
