SUMMARY:#LastSeen – Pictures of Nazi Deportations Lecture by Christoph Kreutzmüller\, Berlin (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:#LastSeen –\nPictures of Nazi Deportations\nLecture by Christoph Kreutzmüller\, Berlin (Germany)\n\nJune 29\, 2022 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBetween 1938 and 1945\, the National Socialists deported hundreds of thousands of men\, women and children from the German Reich to ghettos and camps. The deportations took place everywhere\, in broad daylight and for all to see. And yet so far only a few photos are known. Knowing these pictures tell many stories – of the deportees\, the perpetrators\, and the spectators – this initiative invites your participation in helping us to discover and analyze previously unknown photographs that survive in museums\, archives\, private attics\, basements\, or dusty photo albums. \nIn this lecture\, Berlin-based Dr. Christoph Kreutzmüller\, historian and coordinator developing the educational tool for #LastSeen\, speaks about the importance of this project\, and how you can become part of it. \n(Image above: Deportation photos can be hidden in photo boxes or family albums from the Nazi era (Photo: Christoph Kreutzmüller) ) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotos of Deportations from Brandenburg an der Havel (Germany)\, Arolsen Archives \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 550 existing photographs of deportations from the German Reich are often the last known images of the victims of persecution before they were murdered. The pictures show the crimes in a local context. The deportations took place on public squares\, in front of buildings and on streets that are often still part of townscapes today. But there is still so much we don’t know\, because we have absolutely no photos of many deportations. \nPhotos of Nazi mass deportations have never before been brought together\, made available as a collection\, and analyzed collectively in any systematic way. Nor has there been a concerted effort to search for more photos. \nThis new project aims to gather\, analyze\, and digitally publish pictures of Nazi mass deportations of Jews\, Romani people and people with disabilities from the German Reich between 1938 and 1945. The project is a cooperation of the Arolsen Archives\, the City Archives of Munich\, the Center for the Research on Antisemitism at the Technical University Berlin\, the House of the Wannsee Conference memorial site\, and the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research. \n#LastSeen also focuses explicitly on the deportation of Sinti and Roma people and the Krankenmorde to find potential leads to more information and increase public awareness and remembrance of these groups of victims. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAsperg\, May 22\, 1940: Several hundred Sinti and Roma people from all over southwest Germany were forced to assemble at the Hohenasperg near Stuttgart on May 16\, 1940. They were then deported from the Asperg train station to concentration and extermination camps. (Photo: German Federal Archives\, R 165 image 244-47\, no information available – photographer unknown) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Christoph Kreutzmüller is a Berlin based curator\, historian and educator working for the House of the Wannsee-Conference memorial and education centre and Arolsen Archives. From 2015 to 2019\, he prepared the segment “Catastrophe” for the new permanent exhibition of the Jewish Museum Berlin. His numerous publications include the award winning “Final Sale in Berlin. The destruction of Jewish commercial activity. 1930-1945” (New York/Oxford 2015) and (with Tal Bruttmann and Stefan Hördler)\, Die fotografische Inszenierung des Verbrechens. A Photo Album from Auschwitz\, Darmstadt 2019. \n\nKreutzmüller describes the importance of #LastSeen\, “These photos show that the deportations were organized by the police\, city administrators and the railway company. It was possible to watch this process in action\, and people did – including photographers. The pictures show the deportees as well as many perpetrators and spectators. You see neighbors watching the deportees as they are sent into the unknown. Today we know the deportees were mostly being sent straight to their death. That’s what gives the pictures such an impact even now.” … “This raises questions we have to grapple with: What would I have done if I had seen this happening back then? And what do we do today when we see obvious injustices taking place? Do we step in? Do we act\, or do we remain passive spectators? Is there any such thing as a passive spectator – or are spectators always an audience?”

SUMMARY:COMMEMORATING THE DEPORTATION PROCESS
DESCRIPTION:In implementing the “Final Solution\,” the Germans and their collaborators tore millions of Jews from their homes and deported them to their deaths\, obliterating centuries-old Jewish communities throughout Europe. July marks the 80th anniversary of the Great Deportation from the Warsaw Ghetto\, when up to 300\,000 Jews were rounded up and brutally deported to the Treblinka Death Camp.

SUMMARY:The Ghetto Fighters' House Talking Memory Series presents: Artistic Representations of the Plight of the Elderly in Terezin\, 1942-1944
DESCRIPTION:The Ghetto Fighters’ House  Talking Memory Series presents:\nCrafting Heritage: The Art of Holocaust Remembrance – A Homage to David Friedmann\nJoin us on Sunday\, June 12th \, for the second program\nArtistic Representations of the Plight of the Elderly in Terezin\, 1942-1944\nGuest Speaker: Liz Elsby\nThe Nazi ghetto of Theresienstadt (Terezin in Czech) near Prague\, is often remembered for the incredible cultural endeavors of its Jewish inmates: in appalling conditions and in the shadow of deportations to death\, the Jews there created art\, held concerts and plays\, and performed operas such as ‘ Brundibar” . \nIn reality\, almost 34\,000 people\, the majority them elderly German and Austrian Jews\, died of disease\, starvation\, and neglect withing the ghettos walls; thousands more were among the 88\,000 deported to the death camps from the ghetto. \nToday\, most of these elderly men and women remain unremembered ghosts\, whose lives\, and suffering would have been forgotten by history had not an incredible group of Theresienstadt artists felt compelled to secretly draw their plight. \nIn this talk\, we will examine the artwork these brave artists created in that hellish place and by doing so\, we will give a face to these faceless victims\, and remember their humanity. \nThis program is in partnership with Classrooms Without Borders\, Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Center\, Beit Terezin\, and the Jewish Historical Institute.

SUMMARY:Talking Memory: Checkmate: Making\, Playing and Picturing Chess in the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Crafting Heritage: The Art of Holocaust Remembrance – A Homage to David Friedmann\nJoin us on Sunday\, May 15th\, for the first program: \nCheckmate: Making\, Playing and Picturing Chess in the Holocaust \n \nGuest Speaker: Dr. Rachel Perry \nChess was played\, made and pictured during the Holocaust by individuals in extremis. As practice\, chess offered victims a means of distraction\, entertainment\, and community building. With great skill and ingenuity\, chess boards and pieces were fashioned out of folded paper\, carved out of wood and modeled out of bread. When escape routes were closed off and the endgame seemed near\, chess allowed artists to symbolize their feelings of agency and entrapment\, as both players and pawns. \nThis program is in partnership with Classrooms Without Borders\, Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Center\, and the Jewish Historical Institute.

SUMMARY:Talking Memory: The Last Years of Yitzhak Katzenelson
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Professor Samuel Kassow\n  \nFew Jewish Poets were better able to convey the horror and the anguish of the Holocaust than Yitzhak Katzenelson. Mordecai Tennebaum wrote that in the Warsaw Ghetto he became “like our brother”\, someone who surpassed the great Hebrew poet Bialik”. \nThis talk will examine his Holocaust writings in the Warsaw Ghetto and later in the Vitel internment camp in France. \nThis program is in partnership with the Institute for the History of Polish Jewry and the Jewish Historical Institute.
