SUMMARY:Talking Memory Programme: Letters from the Afterlife
DESCRIPTION:The Post-Holocaust Correspondence of Chava Rosenfarb and Zenia Larsson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Ghetto Fighters’ House invites you to a special Talking Memory conversation with acclaimed writer and translator Goldie Morgentaler as she presents her novel Letters from the Afterlife: The Post-Holocaust Correspondence of Chava Rosenfarb and Zenia Larsson. \n\n\n\nLetters from the Afterlife tells the story of two women who survived the Holocaust and rebuilt their lives in countries whose language and culture were not their own – one in Canada\, one in Sweden. Through the correspondence between them\, the book traces what it meant to carry that past forward: the trauma\, the alienation\, and the quiet\, persistent work of making a life. \n\n\n\nExtraordinarily little has been written about how women survivors navigated the aftermath. This book is a rare exception. \n\n\n\nThe programme will feature: \n\n\n\nRochelle Saidel will open the conversation with reflections on the book as an intimate window into postwar women’s experience. \n\n\n\nGoldie Morgentaler\, writer\, translator\, and daughter of celebrated author and Holocaust survivor Chava Rosenfarb\, will discuss the book\, the correspondence at its heart\, and what it means to write from inside inherited memory. \n\n\n\nThis event is presented in partnership with the Remember the Women Institute\, the Rabin Chair Forum\, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre\, and Classrooms Without Borders.

SUMMARY:Sweet Home Sweet: exhibition opening workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre invites you to a participatory workshop to open the exhibition Sweet Home Sweet. \n\n\n\nIn 1942\, Richard Ores buried a jar of photographs in the ground at Płaszów Concentration Camp. After the war\, he dug it up. The photographs had survived. The exhibition traces the Ores family across generations\, geographies\, and loss – exploring what home means when it is something you carry\, construct\, and sometimes bury for safekeeping. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, you are invited to think about your own jar. What would you place in it? What people\, places\, or objects hold your sense of home? Bring a photocopy of one or two photographs – of a person\, a place\, an object – anything that feels like home to you. It doesn’t need to be precious or perfect. Together\, we will map\, reflect\, and explore what home means and how we hold it. \n\n\n\nPlease note: the workshop is limited to 30 people so RSVP is essential \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition:\n\n\n\nRichard Ores was born to a Jewish family in the centre of Kraków. He was fifteen years old when the war broke out. He survived and spent most of the rest of his life in the United States. Even though he lived there for more than fifty years\, he continued to feel deeply connected to Poland. He made dozens of trips back to his hometown\, often bringing his family with him. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition tells the story of Richard\, his family\, and their relationship to Poland over nearly a century. Richard was fascinated with photography and filmmaking his entire life\, endlessly documenting his experiences and the people around him. In creating this exhibition\, we relied on many of the photos and videos Richard created\, as well as interviews with members of his family.

SUMMARY:Talking Memory Book Launch Event: Out of the Sky
DESCRIPTION:Heroism and Rebirth in Nazi Europe with the Author Matti Friedman\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Ghetto Fighters’ House invites you to a special Talking Memory conversation marking the launch of Out of the Sky: Heroism and Rebirth in Nazi Europe. \n\n\n\nIn 1944\, a group of young Jewish men and women – having escaped Europe – made the decision to return. Parachuting into Nazi-occupied territory under a British mission\, they went back to the continent that had tried to destroy them. Out of the Sky tells their story: the gap between the mission’s tragic reality and its powerful afterlife in Israeli memory\, and the question of what heroism means when it ends in failure. \n\n\n\nThe programme will feature: \n\n\n\nMatti Friedman\, author of Out of the Sky\, in conversation on the Jewish parachutists of 1944\, the archival research behind the book\, and the role of narrative in shaping collective memory. \n\n\n\nDr Rochelle Saidel will speak on Haviva Reick (1914–1944)\, one of three women among the parachutists\, who operated in Slovakia during the Slovak National Uprising – aiding Allied airmen\, working to rescue Jews\, and ultimately captured and murdered by Nazi collaborators. \n\n\n\nShlomit Dagan\, CEO of the Hannah Senesh House\, will reflect on Hannah Senesh and the ongoing work of remembrance and education. \n\n\n\nThis event is presented in partnership with the Remember the Women Institute\, the Hannah Senesh House\, Classrooms Without Borders\, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre\, and the Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University.
