SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Commandant's Shadow
DESCRIPTION:As part of our programmes commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day\, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre\, in partnership with the British High Commission in Pretoria\, invites you to a screening of the documentary The Commandant’s Shadow. \n\n\n\nAbout the Film\n\n\n\nThe film\, The Commandant’s Shadow\, follows Hans Jürgen Höss\, the 87-year-old son of Rudolf Höss\, as he faces his father’s terrible legacy for the first time. His father was the Camp Commandant of Auschwitz and masterminded the murder of over a million Jews. The life of Hans and his family was recently fictionalised in the Academy Award-winning film\, The Zone of Interest. Now\, The Commandant’s Shadow\, tells the story of the real people who lived on site at Auschwitz. While Hans enjoyed a happy childhood in the family villa at Auschwitz\, Jewish prisoner\, Anita Lasker-Wallfisch\, was trying to survive the notorious concentration camp. At the heart of this film is the historic and inspiring moment – eight decades later – when the two come face-to-face in Anita’s London living room.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Shadow of the Day (L’Ombra del Giorno)
DESCRIPTION:As part of the programme marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day\, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre\, in partnership with the Italian Cultural Institute\, invites you to a screening of The Shadow of the Day (L’Ombra del Giorno). \n\n\n\nAbout the Film\n\n\n\nSet in Fascist Italy\, the film tells a quiet but gripping love story unfolding in a time of growing danger. Luciano\, a restaurant owner and supporter of the regime—like the vast majority of Italians of the period—believes he can live according to his own rules\, insulated from the political turmoil beyond his doors. \n\n\n\nAs ominous signs gather in the ancient square outside his restaurant\, a young woman named Anna appears\, carrying a secret. When she is hired to work there\, Luciano’s carefully controlled world begins to unravel. From that moment on\, nothing is the same. Alongside the external threats closing in\, he must confront the greatest danger of all: love. \n\n\n\nTender and tense\, The Shadow of the Day is a love story set against the moral compromises and uncertainties of a dark historical moment.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Hidden in Plain Sight: A Conversation with Julie Brill
DESCRIPTION:About the Book\n\n\n\nIn Hidden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia\, readers encounter a powerful and largely untold chapter of Holocaust history\, told through one family’s story and a daughter’s enduring quest to understand the past that shaped her life. \n\n\n\nFrom childhood\, Julie Brill struggled to comprehend how her father survived as a young Jewish boy in Belgrade\, where Nazis murdered 90 percent of the Jewish population—without gas chambers or cattle cars. Through meticulous research\, chance discoveries\, and three deeply emotional journeys to Serbia\, Brill pieces together her family’s lost history\, uncovers long-buried secrets\, and restores to her father something the Nazis tried to erase: his own family story. \n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nJulie Brill is the author of Hidden in Plain Sight\, which Menachem Kaiser has called “a powerful reminder of why our stories—personal\, familial\, historical—are so crucial.” She has written for Haaretz\, The Forward\, Kveller\, The Times of Israel\, Balkan Insight\, and Boston’s National Public Radio station\, among others. Brill regularly shares her family’s Holocaust history with middle and high school students through 3GNY and is a co-facilitator for Living Link’s WEDU training\, working at the intersection of memory\, education\, and intergenerational dialogue.

His research explores how the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust has been understood\, remembered\, and represented in Germany from the Nazi period to the present. \n\n\n\nThe programme will include a short introduction to the book followed by a reflective conversation and audience discussion. \n\n\n\nIn Conversation\n\n\n\nDr Kobi Kabalek\n\n\n\nHolocaust Studies and Visual Studies\, Penn State University \n\n\n\nDr Kabalek’s work focuses on Holocaust memory\, visual culture\, and the ways rescue and responsibility have been interpreted in Germany since 1945. \n\n\n\nHarry Legg\n\n\n\nPhD candidate\, University of Edinburgh \n\n\n\nHarry Legg will comment on the book and its contribution to current research on the attitudes and actions of the non-Jewish German population toward Jews during the Nazi regime. \n\n\n\nTogether\, the speakers will reflect on memory\, postwar narratives\, the commemoration of rescuers\, and the ongoing challenges of confronting the past.
