SUMMARY:Virtual program: Women of Valor -- Stories of Resistance in Paris
DESCRIPTION:4 PM US EASTERN TIME\, 1 PM US PACIFIC TIME \nIn February 1943\, at the height of the deportations from France\, a daring group of Jewish and Christian women banded together to stage the largest single rescue operation in wartime Paris. Please join Anne Nelson\, author of Suzanne’s Children\, and Joanne Gilbert\, author of Women of Valor\, as they describe these women — including Suzanne Spaak\, Sophie Schwartz\, Frida Wattenberg and others — who risked everything to fight back against evil.\n \n  \n \nxxxxx \nMEET THE SPEAKERS\nxxxxx \n \nAuthor Joanne D. Gilbert was profoundly affected by the stories told by her grandmother\, who had been able to leave Vilna\, Lithuania before the Nazis destroyed the Jewish community there. Joanne became dedicated to finding and celebrating the truth of Jewish heroism during the Holocaust. Her books Women of Valor: Polish Jewish Resisters to the Third Reich (2018) and A Victory for Miriam! The Little Jewish Girl Who Defied the Nazis (2019) have received outstanding reviews. Her next book Women of Valor: German\, French\, & Dutch Resisters to the Third Reich will be published in 2021. Along with the Paris walking tour company Sight-Seekers Delight\, Joanne is currently developing a walking tour of the Jewish Resistance in Paris. \nAnne Nelson is a prize-winning author who has written extensively about human rights and freedom of expression. Her 2017 book\, Suzanne’s Children: A Daring Rescue in Nazi Paris\, told the story of Suzanne Spaak and her extensive network to rescue Jewish children from deportation to Auschwitz. It was a finalist in the National Jewish Book Awards. Her previous book\, Red Orchestra\, described a leading anti-Nazi resistance network in Berlin\, and was an Editors’ Choice at The New York Times. Her current work\, Shadow Network\, deals with the political crisis in the United States today. \nxxxxx \nRegistration for this program is closed.

SUMMARY:Virtual program: Safe Haven in Iowa\, an Untold Story
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that there were Jewish refugees in Iowa during World War II?  Tune in to learn about this fascinating and untold story. Meet Edith Lichtenstein Froehlig\, originally from Limburg\, Germany\, who was brought by the Quakers to Iowa\, where she lived in a converted schoolhouse called Scattergood Hostel as one of 185 Jewish refugees. She will be in dialogue with Dr. Michael Luick-Thrams\, the world’s expert on this story\, and they will take your questions. We will also watch a short film on this history called Out of Hitler’s Reach produced by the PBS station in Iowa. \nxxxxx \nAbove:  Edith Lichtenstein (holding kitten) sits with her brother Louis and two other child refugees at Scattergood Hostel\, West Branch\, Iowa\, ca.1942. \nxxxxx \nMEET THE SPEAKERS\nxxxxx \nMichael Luick-Thrams is the leading world authority on the story of how the Quakers brought Jewish refugees to Iowa during World War II and saved their lives. He is the Executive Director of TRACES Center for History and Culture and the author of Out of Hitler’s Reach: The Scattergood Hostel for European Refugees\, 1939-43 (1997) and Creating “New Americans”: World War II-Era European Refugees’ Formation of American Identities (2020). He has also written and spoken about the correspondence between Anne Frank and her Iowa penpal\, 10-year-old Juanita Wagner. Born and raised in Iowa\, Michael Luick-Thrams lives and teaches in Germany. \n \nEdith Lichtenstein Froehlig was born in Limburg\, Germany and found a safe haven in Iowa after escaping Nazi-occupied Europe. In Iowa she and her brother attended public schools while their parents were given English lessons and taught to integrate into American life. When her family was deemed “ready” after ten months in Iowa\, they were relocated by the Quakers to Minnesota\, where she spent the remainder of her childhood. She then attended Macalester College in Saint Paul\, Minnesota\, where her father had joined the faculty. Today she is retired from a career in education. \n \nDonald Davis is the archivist for the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, a Quaker organization that promotes lasting peace with justice\, as a practical expression of faith in action. The AFSC archives contain records from its founding in 1917 to current work in immigration\, peace building and social/economic justice. The primary sources contained in the AFSC archives provide a level of forethought\, analysis\, detail\, and perspective that is not often seen in historical documentation. One of his primary goals is to make the historically significant work of the American Friends Service Committee more widely known throughout the world. \nxxx \nRegistration for this program is closed. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual program:  The Bystander's Choice
DESCRIPTION:If you are a bystander and witness a crime\, should intervention to prevent that crime be a legal obligation? Or is moral responsibility enough? Law professor Amos Guiora\, the son of Holocaust survivors\, argues provocatively and controversially that we must make the obligation to intervene the law\, and thus non-intervention a crime. He will be in dialogue with Holocaust historians Dr. Victoria Barnett\, formerly of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum\, and Dr. Mordecai Paldiel\, formerly of Yad Vashem. Following our recent program on what makes a hero\, we will examine the dilemma of the bystander and take a close look at the famous assertion by Edmund Burke: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” \n \nxxxxx \nMEET THE PANELISTS\nxxxxx \nDr. Victoria J. Barnett was Director of the Programs on Ethics\, Religion\, and the Holocaust at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum from 2004-2019. She also served as one of the general editors of the 17-volume Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works\, the complete English edition of Bonhoeffer’s writings published by Fortress Press. She has lectured and taught about the history of the Protestant churches in Nazi Germany and during the Holocaust. Her books include Bystanders: Conscience and Complicity during the Holocaust (2000) and For the Soul of the People: Protestant Protest against Hitler (1992). Her most recent book is “After Ten Years”: Dietrich Bonhoeffer for Our Times. \nAmos N. Guiora is Professor of Law at the S.J. Quinney College of Law\, the University of Utah and a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the Israel Defense Forces. He is actively involved in bystander legislation efforts in Utah and other states around the country. Guiora holds an A.B. in history from Kenyon College\, a J.D. from Case Western Reserve University School of Law\, and a Ph.D from Leiden University. He has published extensively both in the United States and Europe on issues related to national security\, limits of interrogation\, religion and terrorism\, the limits of power\, multiculturalism and human rights. He is the author of numerous books including The Crime of Complicity: The Bystander in the Holocaust (2017) and Armies of Enablers: Survivor Stories of Complicity and Betrayal in Sexual Assaults (2020). \nDr. Mordecai Paldiel headed the Righteous Among the Nations Department at Yad Vashem from 1982-2007.  His essay “Calling Myself Into Question: How the Bystander Becomes a Rescuer” was published in the Holocaust education journal Prism. His books include The Path of the Righteous\, Sheltering the Jews\, Saving the Jews\, Diplomat Heroes of the Holocaust\, Saving One’s Own: Jewish Rescuers During the Holocaust and The Righteous Among the Nations. He teaches at Stern College and Touro College and serves on the Board of the Sousa Mendes Foundation. Thanks to his efforts\, there is now a square named for Aristides de Sousa Mendes as well as a street named for Raoul Wallenberg\, both in Jerusalem. He is a member of the B’nai Brith committee in Israel honoring Jewish rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust. \nxxxxx \nRegistration for this program has ended.
