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.

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.

SUMMARY:Let the World Read and Know": The Oneg Shabbat Archives
DESCRIPTION:The Ghetto Fighters’ House invites you to a new three part series marking the 75th Anniversary of the Jewish Historical Institute\n  \nThe Oneg Shabbat Archives and Beyond: Documenting and Preserving the History of European Jewry at the Jewish Historical Institute \n“Let the World Read and Know”: The Oneg Shabbat Archives \nOpening Remarks: \nMonika Krawczyk\, Director of the Jewish Historical Institute (JHI) \nGuest Speakers: \nDr. Natalia Aleksiun  \nWho were they?  Emanuel Ringelblum and the Oneg Shabbat Writers  \nDr. Katarzyna Person   \nThe Ringelblum Archive and the Jewish Historical Institute \nFrom the moment that its existence became widely known\, the Ringelblum Archive (also known as the Underground Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto) was widely regarded as a collection of unusual significance. Under the initiative of historian Emanual Ringelblum\, a group of social activists incarcerated in the Warsaw Ghetto created the archive between 1940 and 1943 with the aim to document the persecution of Jews in occupied Poland. Emulating the working principles of YIVO (Yidisher Visnshaftlekher Institut\, Yiddish Scientific Institute)\, the Warsaw group gathered and produced a total of 35\,000 pages of documents\, in Polish\, Yiddish\, Hebrew\, and German and stowed them away secretly within the Ghetto. Among the documents were diaries\, accounts from approximately 300 Jewish communities from the whole territory of occupied Poland\, school essays\, research works\, and official German documents: like posters\, identification cards\, and food ration cards. There were also some 70 photographs and over 300 drawings and paintings.  \nThe Archive was retrieved in parts from the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto: Part I (concealed on August 3\, 1942) was found on September 18\, 1946\, and Part II (concealed in early February 1943) was found on December 1\, 1950.   \nWho were the people who created this archive?  Dr. Natalia Aleksiun will share with us her research on the main contributors to one of the most important archives that was written as the events were happening.  \nIn her presentation\, Dr. Katarzyna Person will discuss the academic significance of the archive and the methods used to bring this extraordinary collection to the wider public.  \nThis program is in partnership with the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw\, the Polish Institute in Tel-Aviv\, the Grodzka Gate – NN Theatr in Lublin\, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Center\, Classrooms without Borders\, and the Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University.  \n2 PM EST | 7 PM GMT | 8 PM SAST | 9 PM Israel

SUMMARY:"The United States and World Fascism: Human Rights from the Spanish Civil War to Nuremberg and Beyond"
DESCRIPTION:The following workshop is open to CMU faculty\, students and community members.\nTHIS IS AN IN PERSON EVENT!\nCarnegie Mellon University\nHamerschlag Hall\, Hamerschlag Dr\, Pittsburgh\, PA 15213\nROOM #B131\n\n\nThe United States and World Fascism: Human Rights from the Spanish Civil War to Nuremberg and Beyond\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop\, offered by the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA)\, introduces a carefully curated set of compelling primary sources allowing teachers to develop a history-based curriculum about human rights and world fascism\, starting with the experience of antifascist US volunteers in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39)\, through World War II and the Cold War to the present day. ALBA’s workshops encourage teachers and students to focus on ten essential questions: Why should we care about events that happen far away\, or that happened a long time ago? How do we decide who is on the right side of an armed conflict? When do we stand up for what we believe in? What are our obligations in the face of injustice? How do we resolve competing loyalties? When is it right\, or necessary\, for a powerful country like the US to intervene in a conflict going on elsewhere? How do images and texts shape our view of the world—and how can we use them to shape others’ views? How can we understand people and events of the past in their context? When—and how—is it appropriate to judge people and events in the past? When do historical analogies apply? And what does fascism look like today? \n\nSebastiaan Faber is chair of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives\, an educational nonprofit in New York. A professor of Hispanic Studies at Oberlin College\, he regularly contributes to US and Spanish media. His most recent book is Exhuming Franco: Spain’s Second Transition (Vanderbilt).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nsebastiaanfaber.com\n@sebasfaber\n\n\nNew book: Franco desenterrado.
