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
