SUMMARY:Nation Takes Action: Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Rescue of the Jews in Denmark During the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:We are honoured to have the Ambassador of Denmark\, H.E. Thomas Winkler to open this special commemoration programme about a most incredible act of rescue. Almost all of the seven thousand Jews living in Nazi occupied Denmark\, managed to escape the Holocaust. What made Denmark the exception to the systemised horror? Bo Lidegaard\, a historian who has researched the subject\, presents a new explanation of the rescue based on more than ten years of historical research. Dr. Judith Goldstein\, Founder and Executive Director Emeritus of ”Humanity in Action”\,will introduce us to the work of the non-profit organisation\, including the production of the animated documentary ”Voices in the Void”\, which is part of the film series Traces: Portraits of Resistance\, Survival and Resolve. We will have the opportunity to see a screening of the film during the programme. Afterwards\, Rabbi Jair Melchior\, Chief Rabbi of Denmark\, will share the story of his grandfather\, Rabbi Bent Melchior z’l\, who was rescued on one of the boats to Sweden\, and enlighten us about Denmark and the Danish society today\, in relation to the moral lessons and insights gained by learning about this unique example of rescue during the Holocaust. \nThis programme is in partnership with the Embassy of Denmark in Tel Aviv\, Humanity in Action\, the Danish Jewish Museum\, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre\, Classrooms without Borders\, and the Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University. \nRegister Here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUrduyrrDgsG9enoLgn2AxpwcpxWowsNJcQ

SUMMARY:Gendering the Holocaust with Prof Andrea Pető
DESCRIPTION:“The Holocaust as an Interdisciplinary Tapestry” is an 8 part series that will engage with scholars and experts who grapple with themes related to Holocaust studies. The series will explore the multifaceted discipline of Holocaust Studies through different lenses. Our experts will challenge us to understand the causes\, impacts\, and legacies of the Holocaust. \nThe seventh lecture in this series focuses on women and the Holocaust. Research on women and the Holocaust developed driven by the political strategy formulated by Joan Ringelheim in 1983 that in failing to recognise that men and women suffer differently we “lose the lives of women for a second time”. Andrea Pető analyses the consequences that the scholarship on women and the Holocaust followed the same epistemological route as women’s history writing in general. It started to collect the facts – making women visible and collecting evidence – and establish the history of women’s participation in\, for example\, the ghetto and among the Jewish resistance movements building up a considerable scholarship by now. The talk closes by analysing the causes and actors of the recent illiberal challenge on Holocaust Studies and its consequences on gendering the Holocaust. She will also explore the causes and actors of the recent illiberal challenge on Holocaust Studies and its consequences on gendering the Holocaust. \nThis programme is in partnership with Classrooms Without Borders\, Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre\, the Ghetto Fighters’ House\, Generations of the Shoah\, and Liberation75. \nAndrea Pető is Professor in the Department of Gender Studies at Central European University\, Vienna\, Austria\, and a Doctor of Science of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Her works on gender\, politics\, Holocaust and war have been translated into 23 languages. She edited three pioneering books in the field of Jewish Studies with Louise Hecht\, Karoline Krasuska Women and Holocaust: New Perspectives and Challenges. IBL\, Warsawa\, 2015.\, and with Szapor\, Judith\, Hametz\, Maura\, Calloni\, Marina\, Jewish Intellectual Women in Central Europe 1860-2000. The Edwin Mellen Press\, 2012.\, with Helga Thorson The Future of Holocaust Memorialisation. Confronting Racism\, Anti-Semitism\, and Homophobia Through Memory Work. Tom Lantos Institute\, Budapest\, 2015. Her recent monographs are: Women in the Arrow Cross Party (Palgrave\, 2020)\, Forgotten Massacre\, Budapest in 1944 (DeGruyter 2021). She the editor-in-chief of East European Holocaust Studies (DeGruyter). In 2018 she was awarded the 2018 All European Academies (ALLEA) Madame de Staël Prize for Cultural Values and 2022 University of Oslo Human Rights Award. She is Doctor Honoris Causa of Södertörn University\, Stockholm\, Sweden. \nRegister Here: https://cwbpgh.org/event/the-holocaust-as-an-interdisciplinary-tapestry-8/

SUMMARY:From Darkness to Freedom: Honouring the 80th Anniversary of the Courageous Tunnel Escape from the Novogrudok Ghetto
DESCRIPTION:On September 26\, 1943 about 230 Jews accomplished a daring escape from the Novogrudok (Navardok) labor camp in Belarus (White Russia) via an underground tunnel dug by the inmates over a period of several months. In this programme\, we will focus on this less known escape. \nLady Gilbert give the opening remarks.  Afterwards\, Dr. Silberklang will present the broader picture of Jewish resistance in the ghettos.  Betty Cohen\, whose mother\, Fania Dunetz Brodsky\, was one of the escapees\, will examine the survivors’ choice to rebuild their lives\, where they did so\, the legacies they left behind\, and the families they created. Tamara Vershitskaya\, founder of the Jewish Resistance Museum in Novogrudok\, will take us on a virtual tour of the exhibition. Debra Brunner\, CEO of the Together Plan\, will discuss the organisation’s work in Belarus\, including the “Making History Together” project that promotes Holocaust commemoration. Our program will conclude with a special commemoration in honour of all those who were involved in the escape. \nThis programme is in partnership with The Together Plan\, the Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain\, Jewish Small Communities Network\, Qesher\, the Jewish Tapestry Project\, DIALOG International Charitable Organization\, Jewish Religious Union (Belarus)\, Jewish History Association of South Wales/Cymdeithas Hanes Iddewig De Cymru\, Classrooms Without Borders\, Rabin Chair Forum\, and the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre. \nRegister Here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMkc-yurjktHdZtIKssgd8K4THtnEQ5TRSb
