SUMMARY:Americans and the Holocaust Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Holocaust was the systematic\, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. Holocaust history raises important questions about what the international community\, including the United States\, could have done to stop the rise of Nazism in Germany and its assault on Europe’s Jews. Questions include: What did Americans know? How did Americans respond? What more could have been done? \nAmericans and the Holocaust looks closely at America’s role in this history. The United States alone could not have prevented the Holocaust\, but more could have been done to save some of the six million Jews that were killed. This exhibition examines the motives\, pressures\, and fears that shaped Americans’ responses to Nazism\, war\, and genocide. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Generations Speakers Series - 80th Anniversary of Liberation: Hedda Sharapan
DESCRIPTION:Join the Holocaust Center for a talk by Hedda Sharapan\, a descendant of survivors originally from Lithuania. Hedda will share a heartwarming Holocaust story about a father and son. This program is part of a series of events in 2025\, commemorating the 80th anniversary of liberation\, and in observance of Genocide Awareness Month in April. \n\nRegister here. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nHedda Bluestone Sharapan grew up in McKeesport – but she and her sister Rena always felt that they grew up with one foot in Europe and the other foot in America. Because their parents\, Ida and Charles Bluestone\, were raised in Lithuania and didn’t immigrate until they married in 1936\, their McKeesport household was embedded in the Old World Yiddishkeit. World War II connected the family back to Europe\, which brings us to a unique Holocaust story of a father and son. \nHedda also has a unique Pittsburgh story\, having worked with Fred Rogers and his legacy for 58 years. Currently she serves as a script consultant for the PBS highly acclaimed Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood for Fred Rogers Productions and as an advisor to the Fred Rogers Institute at St Vincent College. Over the years\, she has spoken at hundreds of conferences and events across the country sharing what she’s learned from Fred Rogers. She has a master’s degree from the University in Pittsburgh in Child Development\, and an honorary doctorate from St. Vincent College. \nHedda settled in Shadyside and has two daughters\, Amy whose family lives in New Jersey and Laurie whose family lives in Chicago\, and four grandchildren. In the past few years Hedda has been an active in the Jewish Grandparenting Network and stays in touch with old friends through the Facebook group “Growing Up Jewish in McKeesport.”
