Spett is a retired New York City printer-publisher now residing in Florida. Born in Brussels\, Belgium\, he escaped with his family via France and Portugal. In 1986 the family’s Portuguese visa\, signed by Aristides de Sousa Mendes in Bordeaux\, was reproduced in The Courage to Care\, a book about the Righteous Gentiles that was designed and printed by his firm. This led to his participation in the Portuguese documentary film Le Consul proscrit and subsequently to the production of another Holocaust related book\, The Yellow Star\, the American translation of the highly regarded German photo-documentary volume\, Der gelbe Stern. He serves on the Advisory Council of the Sousa Mendes Foundation. \nRobert Jacobvitz is a graduate of Yeshiva University’s Wurzweiler School of Social Work and holds an MSW in Community Social Work. For ten years he directed the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Greater East Bay\, and it was in this capacity in the 1980’s that he began championing the cause of Aristides de Sousa Mendes. In 2005 he received the Aristides de Sousa Mendes Humanitarian Medal from the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation. His paper “Reinstating the Name and Honor of a Portuguese Diplomat Who Rescued Jews during World War II” was published in the Winter/Spring 2008 issue of The Journal of Jewish Communal Service.  He is the Chair of the Sousa Mendes Foundation’s Advisory Council. \n*** PLEASE NOTE:  REGISTRATION FOR THE DISCUSSION IS CLOSED\, BUT YOU CAN STILL RENT THE FILM BY CLICKING ON THE TICKET BELOW. ****

SUMMARY:Virtual Film and Discussion:  Passports to Paraguay
DESCRIPTION:*** PLEASE NOTE:  REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS CLOSED. *** \nThe Sousa Mendes Foundation presents Dr. Mordecai Paldiel\, world expert on Holocaust rescue\, and Ambassador Jakub Kumoch of Poland\, who will discuss the film Passports to Paraguay.   \n \nThis new documentary tells the little-known true story of the “Ładoś group” of Polish citizens in Switzerland — Jews and non-Jews working together — who saved Jews trapped in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1942 by securing for them Paraguayan passports.  The Paraguayan government was taken aback by this scheme but was eventually persuaded to go along with it.  In the end\, passports and other documents from Paraguay and three other Latin American countries were prepared by this group for as many as ten thousand people\, of whom 3\,253 have now been identified. The film was directed by Robert Kaczmarek and produced by the Polish Institute of National Remembrance.  This is a remarkable story that should be widely known. \nABOUT THE PANELISTS \nAmbassador Jakub Kumoch is a Polish political scientist and Middle East expert who served between 2016 and 2020 as Poland’s Ambassador to Switzerland. In 2017\, Dr. Kumoch played a decisive role in the discovery of the Ładoś operation. He co-authored the “Ładoś List\,” the list of 3\,253 names of Jews who were in possession of Ładoś’ passports. He currently serves as Poland’s Ambassador to Turkey. \nDr. Mordecai Paldiel headed the Righteous Among the Nations Department at Yad Vashem from 1982-2007.  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 currently teaches at Stern College and Touro College and serves on the Board of the Sousa Mendes Foundation. \nThis free event will be held at 1 pm US Eastern Time\, 10 am US Pacific Time. \n*** PLEASE NOTE:  REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS CLOSED. ***

SUMMARY:Film screening and discussion at Roosevelt House\, New York City
DESCRIPTION:Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College\, the Sousa Mendes Foundation\, and Hunter College Jewish Studies Center present a screening of the documentary film\, Nobody Wants Us (2019\, dir. Laura Seltzer-Duny) at the Roosevelt House at 47-49 East 65th Street\, between Madison and Park Avenues\, New York City.  The event will be held on International Human Rights Day\, December 10\, 2019.  The event will begin with a reception at 5:45 p.m.\, with the program to follow at 6:30 p.m. \n  \nSynopsis:  In 1940\, a ship called the S.S. Quanza left the port of Lisbon carrying several hundred Jewish refugees to freedom.  Most of them held life-saving visas issued by the Holocaust rescuer Aristides de Sousa Mendes.  But events went terribly wrong\, and the passengers became trapped on the ship because no country would take them in.  Nobody Wants Us tells the gripping true story of how Eleanor Roosevelt stepped in to save the passengers on board because of her moral conviction that they were not “undesirables” (as the US State Department labeled them) but rather\, “future patriotic Americans.”  This is an episode in American history that everyone needs to know.   \n  \n“We are delighted to bring this important film\, Nobody Wants Us\, to Roosevelt House\, and to share it with the rest of the Hunter community\,” says Harold Holzer\, the Jonathan F. Fanton Director of Roosevelt House.  “The film offers a fresh perspective not just on the issue of immigration\, but the action taken by Eleanor Roosevelt to save the lives of immigrants in need of sanctuary\,” he adds.  \n  \nProgram:  The film\, which is 37 minutes in length\, will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Leah Garrett\, Director of the Hunter College Jewish Studies Center.  Other participants will include: \nBlanche Wiesen Cook\, the leading authority on Eleanor Roosevelt and author of her three-volume biography. \nAnnette Lachmann\, who was a passenger on the Quanza in 1940. \nLaura Seltzer-Duny\, the filmmaker. \n  \nSignificance of the story:  According to Michael Dobbs of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum\, “The Quanza incident is a timely reminder that individuals make a difference.  Without visas supplied by the Portuguese diplomat Aristides de Sousa Mendes\, many of the Jewish passengers on board the Quanza might well have been stranded in Nazi-occupied Europe. Without the legal brilliance of a maritime lawyer named Jacob Morewitz\, the ship would have been obliged to sail back to Europe. Without the intervention of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt\, the passengers would not have been permitted to land.   It took three people\, from entirely different backgrounds\, to save dozens of lives that might otherwise have been lost.” \n  \nRoosevelt House\, an integral part of Hunter College since 1943\, re-opened in 2010 as a public policy institute honoring the distinguished legacy of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Its mission is three-fold: to educate students in public policy and human rights\, to support faculty research\, and to foster creative dialogue. The institute provides opportunities for students to analyze public policy  and experience meaningful civic engagement; for faculty to research\, teach\, and write about important issues of the day; and for scholarly and public audiences to participate in high-profile lectures\, seminars and conferences. \n  \nThe Sousa Mendes Foundation\, established in 2010\, is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the memory of the Holocaust rescuer Aristides de Sousa Mendes and to teaching the importance of moral courage in a civilized world. Named “Organization of the Year” in 2012 by The Portuguese Tribune\, the Foundation is engaged in a worldwide search for families who escaped the Holocaust through Portugal. Through concerts\, lectures\, films and other educational programming it promotes the important lesson\, particularly to young people\, that one person can make a difference. \n  \nTicket information:  The event is free of charge\, but seating is limited\, and is by advance reservation. For more information and to reserve tickets\, please click here.
