SUMMARY:Still Searching for Memory and Justice Conference
DESCRIPTION:In 1998\, the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies\, together with Yale’s Schell Center for International Human Rights\, held an international conference titled Searching for Memory and Justice\, a groundbreaking effort to examine the commonalities and differences between the work of Truth and Reconciliation Commissions in South Africa and efforts to document witnesses of the Holocaust. \nNow\, 30 years after the end of Apartheid\, and 45 years since Fortunoff Archive recorded its first testimony\, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre and the Fortunoff Archive are inviting scholars and activists to revisit these topics and more in a series of panels\, screenings\, concerts and an accompanying exhibit. Speakers include Prof Shirli Gilbert\, Prof David Simon\, Konstanty Gebert\, Prof William Gumede\, and many more. The event will also solemnly mark 30 years since the end of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda with a keynote by Carl Wilkens. \nAll conference events will be free\, open to the public and held at the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre. A detailed programme will be available on registration. \nJoin us in deepening our understanding of memory culture\, justice\, and the key role of testimonies in documenting mass atrocities. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Film screening of Memory is Our Homeland
DESCRIPTION:August 23 is the European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism created by the European Parliament in 2008. This day is also the day on which in 1939 the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact was signed. A Pact that allowed for Germany under Hitler and Soviet Union under Stalin to divide much of Europe. To commemorate this day\, you are invited to a screening of the film “Memory is our Homeland”. \nProduced by Jonathan Durand\, this film charts the lost story of Polish refugees in Africa during WWII – a journey that brought a group of children to labour camps in Siberia\, onward to Iran\, India\, and East Africa\, to new lives across the global Polish diaspora. It follows the story of Kazia Kolodziej (née Gerech)\, the filmmaker’s grandmother\, and other Polish refugees\, as they meditate on the meaning of memory\, identity\, and homeland. Grappling with memories of a traumatic exile in the Soviet Union\, followed by an adolescence full of discovery in a Polish refugee camp near the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro\, we see how these children’s lives have been shaped by early years fraught with insecurity and change. \nRSVP here or to dowi@jhbholocaust.co.za \nTHURSDAY 22 AUGUST 2024\, 7PM (SAST)

SUMMARY:Lessons in Resilience from the Holocaust and Genocide featuring Wolf Gruner Resisters. How Ordinary Jews fought Persecution in Hitler’s Germany

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. \nHe 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). \nHe is the author of ten books on the Holocaust\, among them Jewish Forced Labor under the Nazis. Economic Needs and Nazi Racial Aims with Cambridge University Press (2006). His 2016 prizewinning German book was published in 2019 as The Holocaust in Bohemia and Moravia. Czech Initiatives\, German Policies\, Jewish Responses with Berghahn in English\, as well as in Czech\, and is forthcoming in Hebrew. \nHe coedited four books\, including Resisting Persecution. Jews and Their Petitions during the Holocaust (Berghahn 2020)\, New Perspectives on Kristallnacht: After 80 Years\, the Nazi Pogrom in Global Comparison (Purdue UP 2019)\, and The Greater German Reich and the Jews.

How Ordinary Jews fought Persecution in Hitler’s Germany (Yale University Press 2023) is written for a wider audience and features the life stories of five Jewish men and women who resisted in different ways against persecution in Nazi Germany. By discussing many of such courageous acts\, the book demonstrates the wide range of Jewish resistance in Nazi Germany\, challenges the myth of Jewish passivity and illuminates individual Jewish agency during the Holocaust. \nProf. Gruner will be in conversation with Tali Nates\, the founder and director of the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre (JHGC) and Chair of the South African Holocaust & Genocide Foundation (SAHGF).
