SUMMARY:Book launch of Catastrophic Grief\, Trauma and Resilience in Child Concentration Camp Survivors
DESCRIPTION:This book describes the narratives of child Holocaust survivors and their experiences of complex trauma\, complicated bereavement\, ageing\, resilience and existential loneliness. The work is unique in that it describes the trauma of child Holocaust survivors who were placed in concentration camps. Most children were killed on entry. Child survivors were rare. These survivors went on to build lives with considerable resilience and coping but their trauma remained within for the next 70-75 years. This is a unique view of the impact of catastrophic trauma and grief over a lifespan. \nThe book is based on the research of Tracey Farber’s PHD research in which she interviewed 9 child Holocaust survivors who were interned in concentration camps. Gill Eagle and Cora Smith were the research supervisors. The authors have added original chapters discussing the relevant research and literature in the field of massive grief\, complex trauma and ethics. \nThe survivors retained vivid recollections of the horror of internment and expressed ongoing grief for the multiple losses they had experienced. Unresolved grief contributed to a sense of existential loneliness\, particularly prominent in their late life reflections.  Despite indications of resilience and life productivity\, a ‘Trauma Trilogy’ of inter-linked catastrophic grief\, anger\, and survivor guilt contributed to a sense of pain and struggle in negotiating Erikson’s final life task of Integrity versus Despair.  By publishing the body of a doctoral thesis in the form of a book the aim was to make the material available to a wide audience. The authors include some practical outcomes that may inform clinical practice\, further research\, and understanding of the impact of other genocides. \nAbout the Authors: \nTracey Farber worked full time as a clinical psychologist\, psychotherapist\, supervisor\, and trainer in private practice for 24 years in Johannesburg. She specialized in treating traumatized adults\, adolescents and children and her work also included also included seeing second generation Holocaust survivors for individual psychotherapy. At present\, she works as a clinical psychologist at the Tel Aviv University Psychological Services\, Student Success Centre and in private practice in Tel Aviv. She developed a psychoeducational program called “Understanding Trauma and Building Resilience” that was developed from her PhD research. This program has been taught to mental health workers\, students\, teachers\, and parents as well as employees and managers. \nGill Eagle is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand. She lectures primarily on the master’s program in Clinical Psychology and is also a core member of the doctoral team overseeing research work.

SUMMARY:Sub-Saharan Africans and the Holocaust by Prof Edward Kissi
DESCRIPTION:The Holocaust was a catastrophe for its direct Jewish victims in Europe. For the non-Jewish and non-European “distant observers” of the Holocaust in sub-Saharan Africa\, the Nazi anti-Jewish campaign in Europe had a particular significance. The Speaker\, Dr. Edward Kissi\, author of Africans and the Holocaust: perceptions and responses of colonized and sovereign peoples\, will look at how particular groups of people in East and West Africa obtained and interpreted news reports about the Nazi persecution and attempted destruction of German and other European Jews in the 1930s and early 1940s. The talk focuses on how these groups in sub-Saharan Africa used their indigenous cultures and memories of European colonialism to make moral and analytical judgements about the Holocaust. \nEdward Kissi is Associate Professor at the School of Interdisciplinary Global Studies\, University of South Florida\, and a member of the Africana Studies faculty. Kiss’s research focuses on the post-20th century history of West and East Africa\, the comparative history of genocide and human rights\, and sub-Saharan African perspectives on the Holocaust. He has published on a wide range of issues including genocide and human rights in Africa\, and the prospects and challenges of genocide prevention and global Holocaust and Genocide Education. In 2009\, Kissi was invited by the United Nations to write “The Holocaust as a Guidepost for Genocide Detection and Prevention in Africa” for the landmark United Nations’ Discussion Papers Journal.  He has since been involved in major national and international activities on Holocaust and Genocide Education\, including  UNESCO’s on-going initiatives on Holocaust and Genocide Education in Africa. His latest book Africans and the Holocaust (2019) is a pioneering effort to integrate sub-Saharan African perspectives on the Holocaust into Holocaust Studies and incorporate Holocaust content into African history\, and Africana Studies. Kissi has also been featured in the new National Geographic documentary Nazis at Nuremberg: The Lost Testimony which made its international debut in December 2022. \nRSVP here.

SUMMARY:Jazz Against Apartheid: Beyond Exile
DESCRIPTION:Jazz Against Apartheid (JAA) was started in 1986 in Berlin by Jürgen Leinhos\, now 85 years old\, and his Frankfurt-based initiative “Kultur im Ghetto” (Culture in the Ghetto). The first event included musical specialists from the UK\, Switzerland and the EU\, particularly Germany\, joining together in honouring Johnny with the performance of Dyani compositions. Following Dyani’s passing in exile\, the JAA performing collaboration has continued with regular concerts in Europe and the USA.  In 2021 President Ramaphosa bestowed the Order of the Companions of O.R. Tambo in silver on Mr Leinhos for his commitment to the JAA programme\, for his determined stand against apartheid\, and for fighting for the cause of oppressed South Africans as an anti-apartheid activist. \nNow in its 38th consecutive year\, and its second year performing in South Africa\, Jazz Against Apartheid have performed over 100 concerts on three continents and visits Johannesburg for the first time. \nThe JAA movement is integrated with cultural activism. Every concert features the compositions of Eastern Cape born bass player\, composer and ANC member in exile Johnny Mbizo Dyani. \nBorn in Duncan Village\, East London\, Johnny Dyani went into exile at the age of 17 with the famous Blue Notes. His globally acknowledged contribution to jazz is remarkable from three perspectives: \n\nhis prolific and collaborative career which illustrates the unity in diversity that is achieved through music;\nhis compositions and albums\, that brought international attention to the lives of struggle icons such as Steve Biko\, Lillian Ngoyi\, and Nelson and Winnie Mandela\, and\nhe demonstrated that the source of jazz was on the African continent.\n\nSharing the vitality of Dyani’s music to current and future generation\, fills the gaps in cultural memory of what artists such as Dyani fought for and achieved abroad. Like those back home in South Africa who were fighting on every front to free themselves from apartheid\, thes exiled artists worked in solidarity “for my country\, for my people\,” as Dyani put it. \nThe JAA event continues the friendships built in exile\, in a kind of “künstlerisch-kultureller Austausch” (artistic-cultural exchange) and is a bridge between geography and history. \nThis event returns to the Eastern Cape due to the enthusiasm and support of activists and South African living in exile in Germany\, Professor Peggy Luswazi and Vusi Macingwane Mchunu.  These South Africans in exile enjoyed a direct interaction with the Jazz Against Apartheid project during the many active years of study and work in Berlin\, at the peak of the antiapartheid struggle. \nThe driving force of this cultural exchange is “Nachwuchsförderung\,” or the conscious policy and practice of transferring societal values\, knowledge and skills to the next generation. As Jürgen Leinhos said recently\, noting that South African political apartheid is dead but that the struggle continues: “Overcoming apartheid does not stop once apartheid – being in this case the name and definition of a political system – stops. Since the isolation of political voices and groups that took place not only from the political process\, but from education\, health care\, and other social needs\, has not stopped\, JAA continues to have legitimacy and a reason to exist.” \nAt the 13 December event\, additionally\, the Johnny Dyani Songbook Launch will take place. This anthology of compositions by Johnny Mbizo Dyani is the first such anthology of transcribed compositions from a South African Jazz Composer. It has been hailed as the breakthrough work for bringing local music education into South African educational institutions. The anthology has been produced by Jazz Against Apartheid Collaborations under the authorship of Artistic Director Daniel Guggenheim. \n  \nPanel Discussion: 11AM – 1PM \nThrough engaging with beyond exile\, participants will be able to explore the history of exile and resistance in the past as well as in contemporary society and connect to the themes of moral choices\, human rights and social activism. We welcome audiences\, activists and representatives from schools\, universities and professionals to gather at the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre to engage with issues pertaining to South Africa’s identity: its challenges\, and the necessary moral compass of a society committed not to repeat the injustices of the past apartheid system in other ways. \n  \nConcert: 5PM – 7PM  \nArtiste listing-  \nInternational Musicians: Daniel Guggenheim (saxophone)\, Christian Lillinger (drums) and Christopher Dell (vibraphone)\, trumpeter Claude Deppa from UK and Johannesburg based collaborators Lex Futshane (bass) and Tomas Dyani (percussion).  \nSponsors: This event has been made possible with support from Germany\, (Kultur im Ghetto; Hessian Ministry of Higher Education\, Research\, Science and the Arts; and the Protestant Church)\,whose contributions are acknowledged with appreciation. \n  \nRSVP to the panel here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeS4apJrwi3cbUmoKv5PhomMnPHwK_MmQnAEpmPnKfIZpNEmg/viewform \nBuy tickets for the concert here: https://www.quicket.co.za/events/240357-jazz-against-apartheid-beyond-exile/#/ \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Under Beslenei’s Sky: A Tale of Courage
DESCRIPTION:In these turbulent times\, we find strength in the bonds we share with our friends as well as in our commitment to a mission of education\, sharing inspiring stories of bravery and resilience\, and eliminating all forms of hatred. The new Talking Memory series represents our unwavering commitment to maintaining meaningful connections with you\, our friends from around the world\, with the intention of cultivating a shared sense of unity among us. We believe that this series represents a powerful response to current events\, while also serving as a profound testament to the strength of civil society today. \nFor the second programme\, we look at the remarkable\, unknown heroic story of Beslenei\, a small village at the heart of the Caucasus. During the Holocaust\, the Circassian-Muslim people of Beslenei adopted orphaned children\, some of whom were Jewish\, who had fled the siege of Leningrad\, putting their entire community at risk.  The webinar will feature opening remarks from Yigal Cohen\, CEO of the Ghetto Fighters Museum\, followed by guest speakers David Shawgen\, research director of the Circassian Museum in Kfar-Kama who will provide an overview of Circassian history and culture and focus on the significant events that unfolded in Beslenei during April 1942; Zoher Thawcho\, initiator of the film “A Tale from Beslenei” and founder of the Circassian Museum in Kfar-Kama\, who will share clips of his film “A Tale from Beslenei” and discuss the production process of the film\, and his perspective on the story that came to life during the film’s creation; and Lana Harshuk\, a Circassian-Israeli educator at the Anne Frank high school\, who will discuss the intersections of her identity and the history of her people\, revealing their impact on her educational philosophy\, also explaining how hatred is often a result of ignorance\, and how she uses this story to encourage empathy and foster respect for others. There will also be a pre-screening of the documentary film\, “A Tale from Beslenei” for all registrants. \nThis programme is in partnership with the Circassian Historical Museum in Israel\, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre\, Classrooms Without Borders\, and the Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Post Film Discussion: Resistance: They Fought Back
DESCRIPTION:Join the JHGC\, Classrooms without Borders and Ghetto Fighters’ House for a post film discussion on the NEW documentary Resistance: They Fought Back\nJoin us for this event as we unveil tales of resilience and courage\, remembering and reflecting on the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity. \nThe Film link will be delivered to registrants 3 days before our engaging post-film discussion \n“People have this myth stuck in their heads that Jews went to their deaths like sheep to the slaughter. But this is where the real story begins… Jews did not go as sheep to the slaughter… They fought back.” Professor Richard Freund \nWe’ve all heard of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising\, but most people have no idea how widespread and prevalent Jewish resistance to Nazi barbarism was. Instead\, it’s widely believed “Jews went to their deaths like sheep to the slaughter.” Filmed in Poland\, Lithuania\, Latvia\, Israel\, and the U.S.\, Resistance – They Fought Back provides a much-needed corrective to this myth of Jewish passivity. There were uprisings in ghettos large and small\, rebellions in death camps\, and thousands of Jews fought Nazis in the forests. Everywhere in Eastern Europe\, Jews waged campaigns of non-violent resistance against the Nazis. \nWe were taught that Jews went like sheep to the slaughter. \nWe were taught a Nazi lie. \nThe discussion will feature: Paula S. Apsell – Executive Producer\, Co-Director \nFor 33 years\, Paula Apsell was the senior executive producer of the PBS NOVA science series. Prior to that\, she produced and directed a dozen NOVA episodes\, and was a Fellow in the Public Understanding of Science at MIT. During her long tenure at NOVA\, Paula was responsible for supervising more than 600 documentaries on a wide variety of subjects in the sciences\, and one\, The Bible’s Buried Secrets\, an exploration of the archaeology of the Hebrew Bible\, with partial funding provided by the Righteous Persons Foundation. She also co-directed and executive produced one of the most watched NOVA episodes\, Holocaust Escape Tunnel. During her tenure\, NOVA won every major broadcasting award\, including the Emmy\, the Peabody\, the duPont-Columbia University Gold and Silver Batons\, and an Academy Award nomination for Special Effects. In 2018 she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Emmy of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. \nFacilitated by Dr. Michael Berenbaum \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.

She has performed and lectured internationally\,  returning to South Africa in 2006 and performs regularly as soloist and chamber musician.

SUMMARY:#GOHOMEGOTA:  Film screening and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Join the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre for a film screening and Q&A with director Sulochana Peiris. \nThis documentary looks at Sri Lanka’s 2022 Aragalaya protests from a protest movement building and mobilisation perspective and centres around interviews with several key core activists-belonging to different ethnic\, linguistic\, and professional backgrounds – who were part of the protest movement since its Galle Face occupation began. The interviews were carried out in two rounds\, the first\, while the Galle Face occupation was ongoing and the second round in January 2023\, several months after the occupation was called off in the face of increasingly brutal state repression. They share their specific movement organisation\, building\, and communication strategies\, the evolution of the movement and the current status amidst a counter-revolutionary repression unleashed  by the Ranil Wickremasinghe administration. These leaders also discuss how they define and are working towards a “system change” which they envisioned to achieve through the aragalaya protest movement. It also contains interviews with Professor Nirmal Ranjith Dewasiri\, a political scientist from University of Colombo who frames through and places the aragalaya movement along the continuum of post-independence political/protest movement building and mobilisation process in Sri Lanka\, Dr.Sanjana Hattotuwa\, who discusses the role played by social media during the Galle Face occupation\, and  Ambika Sathkunanadan\, former commissioner of Sri Lanka Human Rights Commission\, who provides a critical analysis of the aragalaya protest movement for its lack of inclusivity across the country’s ethnic divides and an evident failure to platform unaddressed larger issues pertinent to the country’s thirty-year war. \nRSVP is essential: click here to RSVP

SUMMARY:Book launch of Resisters: How Ordinary Jews Fought Persecution in Hitler's Germany
DESCRIPTION:Join the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre and Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung for the Johannesburg launch of Resisters: How Ordinary Jews Fought Persecution in Hitler’s Germany. \nJewish resistance during the Holocaust is still understood mostly in terms of rare armed group activities in the Nazi occupied East\, for example ghetto uprisings or partisan activities. Resisters is based on a broader definition and countless hitherto untapped sources\, including local police and court records as well as video testimonies of survivors. Introducing five new categories of resistance\, the book shows how between 1933 and 1945 Jews performed countless resistance acts in Nazi Germany proper\, by destroying Nazi symbols\, publicly protesting against the persecution\, disobeying Nazi laws and local restrictions\, and defending themselves from verbal insults as well as physical attacks. The fact that so many German Jewish women and men of all ages\, educations and professions defied the Nazis obliterates the common view of the passivity of Jews under Nazi persecution. Their courageous acts\, however\, still need to be incorporated into the general narrative of the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust in general. \nWolf Gruner holds the Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies\, is Professor of History at the University of Southern California\, Los Angeles since 2008 and the Founding Director of the USC Dornsife Centre for Advanced Genocide Research (previously USC Dornsife Shoah Foundation Centre for Advanced Genocide Research) since 2014. He is a specialist in the history of the Holocaust and in comparative genocide studies. He received his PhD in History from the Technical University Berlin in 1994 as well as his Habilitation in 2006. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University\, Yad Vashem Jerusalem\, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum\, Women’s Christian University Tokyo\, and the Centre for Jewish Studies Berlin-Brandenburg\, as well as the Desmond E. Lee Visiting Professor for Global Awareness at Webster University in St. Louis. He is an appointed member of the Academic Committee of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum (since 2017)\, the executive committee of the Consortium of Higher Education Centres of Holocaust\, Genocide and Human Rights Studies (since 2018)\, the International Academic Advisory board of the Centre for the Research on the Holocaust in Germany at Yad Vashem’s International Institute for Holocaust Research\, Jerusalem (since 2012)\, and the International Advisory Board of the Journal of Genocide Research (since 2010). He is the author of ten books on the Holocaust\, coedited four books\, and has published almost 80 articles and book chapters. \nRSVP is essential here

SUMMARY:Members and invitation only: Film Screening of Fritz Bauer's Legacy
DESCRIPTION:In honour of Human Rights Month\, the JHGC and Embassy of the Federal Republic of German Pretoria are hosting a screening of Fritz Bauer’s Legacy: Justice has no expiration.  \nProbably for the last time former SS-guards recently faced trial for their role in German concentration camps\, as for many decades Germany’s justice system had difficulty dealing with its countless unpunished Nazi crimes. However\, already in 1963 General State Prosecutor Fritz Bauer (1903-1968) aptly indicated that one should also prosecute small cogs in the machines of industrialised mass murder. Interspersed with stirring and moving first hand witness accounts of concentration camp survivors Fritz Bauer’s Legacy not only reveals a fascinating history of why it took so long for justice to find its way into German courts but it also effectively illustrates its significance for a future without mass murders and flagrant injustices. \nRSVP here

SUMMARY:Rescue Outside the Ghetto Walls: Warsaw 1943-44 The Berman Collection
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fourth programme in the “Bridge Over Troubled Water”: Solidarity and Civic Responsibility in Times of Crisis webinar series.\n  \nAfter the establishment of the Warsaw ghetto by the Nazis\, numerous Jews settled on the “Aryan” side of the city\, under assumed non-Jewish identities. Many managed to survive this way after the destruction of the ghetto\, though living under constant threat of being identified and killed. \nOur first speaker\, Prof. Emanuel Berman\, will share the heroic story of his parents\, Basia and Adolf Abraham Berman\, who also hid under false identities\, and were very active in a clandestine network helping fellow Jews to survive. They provided forged identity papers\, rent money\, food\, medical supplies and more\, all while risking their own lives. This period is vividly described by Basia Temkin-Berman in a diary written during the occupation. \nNoam Rachmilevitch\, a senior researcher in the Ghetto Fighters’ House archive\, will give a presentation centring on the Adolf Berman collection held in the museum’s archives. This unique collection offers insight into the practical implementation of the above-mentioned rescue efforts. Noam will focus on two key aspects of rescue: financial support and documentation supply. \nThis programme is in partnership with the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre\, Classrooms Without Borders\, and the Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Lessons in Resilience from the Holocaust and Genocide with Carl Wilkens: Rwanda’s community approach to rebuilding trust: restorative strategies for healing relationships
DESCRIPTION:Join us on this transformative journey; let this series serve as your source of empowerment\, inspiring our community to find their own light within the encompassing shadows.\n\n\n\n\nIn the second installment of this series Carl Wilkens discusses Rwanda’s community approach to rebuilding trust: restorative strategies for healing relationships in conversation with Tali Nates. \nFor over a decade\, Carl Wilkens has been sharing stories around the globe to inspire and equip people to “enter the world of The Other.” He was the only American who chose to stay in Kigali\, Rwanda throughout the 1994 genocide. Venturing out each day into streets crackling with mortars and gunfire\, he worked his way through roadblocks of angry\, bloodstained soldiers and civilians armed with machetes and assault rifles in order to bring food\, water and medicine to groups of orphans trapped around the city. Working with Rwandan colleagues\, they helped save the lives of hundreds. His harrowing yet hopeful journey weaves together stories of tremendous risk and fierce compassion in the midst of senseless slaughter. In 2011\, Carl completed a book detailing these days titled I’m Not Leaving. A 40 minute documentary by the same title has since been released. Carl’s storytelling does not stop with Rwanda’s tragic history\, but moves forward to the powerful and inspiring recovery process. Among the many lessons he shares from his experience is the transformative belief that we don’t have to be defined by what we lost or our worst choices. We can be defined by what we do with what remains – what we do next after terrible choices. Each year he returns to Rwanda with students and educators to see for themselves how people are working together to rebuild their country and rebuild trust. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Not Entirely Forgotten: The Polish-Jewish Officers Murdered In Katyn
DESCRIPTION:The Katyn Massacre\, a tragic event during World War II\, involved the mass execution of thousands of Polish military officers\, intelligentsia\, and other prominent figures by the Soviet secret police\, the NKVD\, in 1940. The victims were captured following the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 and were held in various prisoner-of-war camps. In April and May 1940\, they were systematically executed and buried in mass graves in the Katyn forest near Smolensk\, Russia\, as well as in other locations. \nWhat many people don’t realize is that among the victims of the Katyn Massacre were also those who were of Polish-Jewish descent. Their stories\, often overlooked or overshadowed by the broader tragedy\, highlight the diverse backgrounds and identities of those affected by the atrocities of war. \nThrough discussion with Luc Albinski\, founder of the Katyn Foundation and Families of Jewish Origins and Giora Bar-Nir\, whose father was executed in Katyn\, we seek to honour their memories and ensure that their stories are not forgotten. \nThe event will be led by CTHGC Director\, Jakub Nowakowski\, and will include a special message from the Polish Ambassador\, H.E.
