SUMMARY:Beneath the Skin Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:Mike Fisher is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans Cape Town\, Santander (Spain)\, and the United Kingdom. For over four years\, he has been deeply engaged in the development of a sustained body of work rooted in Holocaust memory\, testimony\, and material witness. This practice is driven by extensive research\, creative exploration\, and profound personal commitment—marked by what he describes as blood\, sweat\, and tears. \n\n\n\nAt the heart of Fisher’s work is storytelling through art as a primary language. He believes art moves the spirit and touches the soul on a level far deeper than words or sound\, reaching the core of what it means to be human. His work is not illustrative; it is experiential and material\, asking the viewer not simply to look\, but to stand\, to witness\, and to remember. \n\n\n\nAll works are available for sale. As a self-funded artist\, Fisher hopes this body of work will one day be represented internationally within museum and gallery collections\, as well as private collections worldwide. \n\n\n\nFor further information or enquiries\, Mike Fisher can be contacted at fishermike@icloud.com. \n\n\n\nThe opening will include an address by Mike Fisher and a walkabout of the exhibition.

SUMMARY:International Holocaust Remembrance Day Commemoration 2026
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\n\n\n\nThe Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre invites you to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2026 with an evening of reflection\, scholarship\, and film. \n\n\n\nThe programme includes formal remarks\, a candle-lighting ceremony\, a keynote address by Professor Rolf Wolfswinkel\, and a screening of the documentary Lost City—a powerful exploration of complicity\, memory\, and moral responsibility in wartime Amsterdam. \n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker\n\n\n\nProfessor Rolf WolfswinkelProfessor of Modern History (ret.)\, University of Cape Town & New York University \n\n\n\nBorn in Amsterdam during the Second World War\, Professor Wolfswinkel has published widely on trench warfare in the First World War\, the German occupation of the Netherlands\, and the Holocaust. He has lectured extensively in South Africa\, the United States\, and the Netherlands\, and is known for his ability to illuminate the human consequences of historical events through rigorous archival research. \n\n\n\nAbout the Film: Lost City\n\n\n\nA groundbreaking archival discovery reveals a hidden chapter in the tragic story of Anne Frank and tens of thousands of Dutch Jews: the complicity of the Amsterdam Public Transport company (GVB) in the Nazi deportation system. \n\n\n\nEmmy Award–winning filmmaker Willy Lindwer and historian Guus Luijters uncovered an invoice issued by GVB to the German occupation authorities—charging 80 guilders (approximately $4\,500 today) for transporting Anne Frank\, her family\, and many others to their deaths. In seeking payment for these transports\, the company became an unwitting accomplice in Nazi crimes. \n\n\n\nPresented as a poignant road movie\, Lost City features the original tram used to deport 48\,000 Jews from Amsterdam—nearly half of the Netherlands’ Jewish population—retracing its route through the city’s hauntingly beautiful yet morally burdened streets. A survivor’s reflection captures the collective indifference of the time:“Everybody knew\, everybody saw it\, and nobody took action.” \n\n\n\nThe film offers a profound new perspective on the murder of Amsterdam’s Jews and the city’s enduring loss of its Jewish soul. \n\n\n\nAttendance is free but booking is essential.

SUMMARY:An Unexpected Find in Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre\, in partnership with Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung\, invites you to a public talk by historian Prof. Rolf Wolfswinkel. \n\n\n\nAbout the event\n\n\n\nDuring a research visit to the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation\, Prof. Wolfswinkel made an unexpected discovery: a thin folder of letters from the German Occupying Administration detailing how Dutch libraries were to deal with the books and films of Erich Maria Remarque\, author of All Quiet on the Western Front. \n\n\n\nAlthough Remarque himself had escaped to the United States\, his work became the target of systematic censorship. The responses of librarians and library boards offer a revealing insight into how institutions and individuals attempted to accommodate — and survive — even the most extreme ideological demands. \n\n\n\nThis talk explores censorship\, compliance\, and moral choice under occupation\, using this archival find as a lens onto broader questions of power and resistance. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker\n\n\n\nProf. Rolf Wolfswinkel is a retired Professor of Modern History at New York University and the University of Cape Town. Born in Amsterdam during the Second World War\, he has published extensively on trench warfare in the First World War\, the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands\, and the Holocaust. He has served as a guest lecturer in the United States\, South Africa\, and the Netherlands.
