SUMMARY:Resistance in Treblinka: The Tangible Witnesses
DESCRIPTION:80 Years After Aktion Reinhard: The Industrial Killing of European Jewry:\nResistance in Treblinka: The Tangible Witnesses \nIn the third programme of this series\, resistance in Treblinka is examined. The systematic murder on the Treblinka extermination camp began in July 1942 with the arrival of the first transport from the Warsaw Ghetto. By the time the camp was dismantled\, a little over a year later\, roughly 900\,000 people\, the vast majority of whom were Jews\, had been murdered there. The existing sources of information available demonstrate how difficult it is to paint a clear picture of what was happening in that terrible place of mass killing. Whether these sources date back to the time the events took place\, or were later sources\, we can witness the many influences affecting them. \nDr. Tamir Hod will present examples of the gaps between memory and history when it comes to the Treblinka extermination camp. This introductory lecture will explain the importance of combining research from different fields\, such as archeology and history\, in order to try to grasp the impossible. \nProfessor Caroline Sturdy Colls will discuss the tangible and intangible evidence of resistance at Treblinka\, derived from her archaeological and historical investigations since 2007. As well as addressing the material traces of resistance at the infamous extermination camp (Treblinka II)\, she will also consider the lesser-known role of the inmates and guards from Treblinka labour camp (Treblinka I) in resistance activities. \nThe program will conclude with a virtual tour given by Yaron Tzur of the Treblinka model that is located at the Ghetto Fighters’ House. This model\, serving as post-war tangible evidence\, was built by Yaakov Wiernik who was one of the survivors of the Treblinka and the uprising in August\, 1943. \nRegistration link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_byLpgDYvRI6YulHGzZCX2Q

SUMMARY:International Holocaust Remembrance Day
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre\, Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung\, and the United Nations Information Centre Pretoria invite you to their annual commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on the 78th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz. \nThe commemoration will include formal remarks from foreign dignitaries\, candle-lighting by Holocaust survivors\, and a commemoration lecture: ‘Remembering the Holocaust through personal objects’. Today\, museums and exhibitions across the world collect and display original artefacts from the Holocaust. At first glance\, many appear to be rather unremarkable: a shoe\, a suitcase\, a pair of spectacles. But this is to overlook the fact that these seemingly everyday objects are among the last remnants of a murdered people\, and each has its own unique story to tell. \nJoin Paul Salmons as he shares the stories of artefacts that have touched him most deeply\, and asks what meanings they hold for us today? \n– \nPaul Salmons specialises in difficult\, challenging histories\, exploring the continued relevance of the past in today’s complex world. He helped create the United Kingdom’s national Holocaust Exhibition at the Imperial War Museum; co-founded the Centre for Holocaust Education at University College London; and for 20 years played a leading role in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. He is also the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s first Gonda Fellow. \nPaul is Chief Curator of Seeing Auschwitz (produced by Musealia for UNESCO and the United Nations)\, and co-curator of Musealia’s international award-winning Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. Recently he was consulting curator on two new permanent Holocaust exhibitions that opened in New York City and St Louis\, Missouri\, and he currently is working on a major new exhibition on the Berlin Wall. \n– \nRSVP essential to dowi@jhbholocaust.co.za

SUMMARY:Sexual Violence against Jewish Women during the Holocaust: Challenges and Reflections
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn this series\, we have invited four leading experts who will discuss one of the most difficult and less-researched topics: sexual violence against Jewish women and children both during and after the Holocaust\, including the continuing brutality against survivors seeking to return home after liberation. The challenges involved in studying female and child sex abuse during the Holocaust and after liberation will also be addressed. \nDr. Sonja M. Hedgepeth and Dr. Rochelle G. Saidel\, editors\, discuss their 2010 groundbreaking book on the subject of sexual violence against Jewish women during the Holocaust. They pay tribute to early researchers on the subject and reflect on the continued challenges for scholars. Including this subject in Holocaust history provides a fuller understanding of what many women endured. \nThis programme 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 Centre. \nClick here to register.
