SUMMARY:What we’ve lost: On the History and Presence of Queer Lives
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre\, in collaboration with GALA Queer Archive (GALA)\, invite you to a special lecture by Dr Mirjam Zadoff on What we’ve lost: On the History and Presence of Queer Lives. \nDr Zadoff\, the director of Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism will discuss the successful exhibition “TO BE SEEN. Queer lives 1900–1950″ currently showing at the Documentation Centre. The talk will look at lessons learnt\, especially in terms of education\, creating safe spaces\, engaging past diversity\, and discussions on terminology\, amongst other issues. The lecture will be opened by Keval Harie\, director of GALA Queer Archive. \n“TO BE SEEN. Queer lives 1900–1950” examines how thousands of homosexual men were persecuted\, sent to concentration camps and murdered in Nazi Germany. Their stories have remained untold for a long time\, as discriminating policies continued to be in place in postwar Germany. The exhibition does not only focus on the persecution of LGBTIQ*\, but sheds light on the visibility of queerness during the Weimar republic and unveils a fascinating and largely forgotten history of diversity and acceptance. \nRegistration is essential to dowi@jhbholocaust.co.za \n– \nDr Mirjam Zadoff is director of the Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism. Previously she has held the Alvin H. Rosenfeld Chair in History and Jewish Studies at Indiana University\, Bloomington. She has published broadly in the field of Jewish and Holocaust Studies – among her recent publications are: Werner Scholem. A German Life (2017)\, Next Year in Marienbad. The Lost Worlds of Jewish Spa Culture (2012)\, and the edited volume Four Years After. Ethnonationalism\, Antisemitism\, and Racism in Trump’s America\, ed. together with Noam Zadoff\, Stefanie Schüler-Springorum and Heike Paul (2020).

SUMMARY:What do we remember? How do we remember? Who remembers?
DESCRIPTION:2022 marks the 80th anniversary of “Aktion Reinhard” – the German plan to murder all the Jews of Poland living in the General Government. To mark this anniversary\, the Galicia Jewish Museum\, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre and the Ghetto Fighters House invite you to a programme titled\, 80 Years After “Aktion Reinhard”: The Industrial Killing of European Jewry – a series of four online lectures given by some of the most recognised scholars in this field\, each one focusing on a different aspect of the Holocaust and related to this key event. \nDuring the last event we will discuss issues related to memory. What Do We Remember? How Do We Remember? Who Remembers? Prof. James Young will describe the process of commemoration at the Concentration and Death Camps itself. Prof Omer Bartov will look at the processes of transmission of the memory of the Holocaust in Israel. Finally\, an activist Dariusz Poplela will show how small communities and nongovernmental organisations work together to bring back the memory of the Holocaust in the context of rural Poland today. \nThe discussion will be moderated by Dr. Edyta Gawron of the Jagiellonian University. \nRegistration essential\, click here.

SUMMARY:Birth\, Sex and Abuse: Women’s Voices under Nazi Rule
DESCRIPTION:  \nDr. Beverley Chalmers will present on how the 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 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.

SUMMARY:After Genocide: Memory and Reconciliation in Rwanda with Dr Nicole Fox
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of unthinkable atrocities\, it is reasonable to ask how any population can move on from the experience of genocide. Simply remembering the past can\, in the shadow of mass death\, be re-traumatising. So how can such momentous events be memorialised in a way that is productive and even healing for survivors? Nicole Fox’s 2021 book After Genocide: Memory and Reconciliation in Rwanda (University of Wisconsin Press) investigates such questions through extensive interviews with survivors decades after mass violence has ended. After Genocide reveals the relationship survivors have to memorial spaces and uncovers those voices silenced by the dominant narrative—arguing that the erasure of such stories is an act of violence itself. \nNicole Fox\, Ph.D.\, research centres on how racial and ethnic contention impacts communities\, including how remembrances of adversity shape social change\, collective memory and present-day social movements.  She is a professor of criminal justice at California State University Sacramento where she teaches about atrocity crimes\, mass incarceration\, global criminology and law. Her 2021 book\, After Genocide: Memory and Reconciliation in Genocide\, focuses on how memorials to past atrocity shape healing\, community development and reconciliation for survivors of genocide and genocidal rape. Her most recent project examines bystander intervention\, with an emphasis on individuals who conducted acts of rescue during times of social unrest and political violence.  Her scholarship has been published in Social Problems\, Signs\, Social Forces\, Deviant Behavior\, the Journal for Scientific Study of Religion\, Sociological Forum\, Societies without borders\, among others. Her work has generously been supported by the Harry Frank Guggenheim Grant\, the National Science Foundation\, Andrew Mellon Foundation\, University of New Hampshire’s Prevention Innovation Research Center\, Society for the Scientific Study of Religion\, Society for the Study of Social Problems and the American Sociological Society’s Fund for the Advancement of the Discipline and others. She also serves on the United Nations Economic and Social Council and contributes to the UN Commission for the Status of Women held annually at the UN headquarters. \nBooking essential to dowi@jhbholocaust.co.za
