SUMMARY:Generations Speaker Presentation by Dr. Melissa Marks
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to host Dr. Melissa Marks’s presentation for the first time! The program will take place in Mellon Board Room\, which is in the lower level of Mellon Hall (Mellon Center) on Chatham’s Shadyside campus. We will have HC Event signs directing you around. Click here for a map of Chatham’s campus.   \nRegister here. \nBio: Dr. Melissa Marks is the daughter and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. Her desire to understand the history and psychology of the Holocaust led her to become a social studies teacher\, a career she loved for a decade. Currently\, she is in her 21st year as a Professor of Education at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. She is a member of advisory boards for the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh\, Seton Hill’s National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education\, and the Westmoreland YWCA Racial Justice Committee. \nPresentation Synopsis: When we learn about the Holocaust\, we need to learn individual stories that inspire us: Inspire us to stand up for what is right\,  inspire us to speak out against evil even when we feel scared\, and inspire us to hope even in the darkest times. We need to recognize the power each of us has. The stories that I will share about my mother\, my grandmother\, and their extended family showcase the power individuals have in the choices we make. My mother and grandmother survived because of luck\, quick wits\, and the willingness of strangers to put what was right ahead of their own safety. My grandfather survived the camps because he hoped to see his baby daughter married under a chupah. \nGenerations programming is generously supported by the Sylvia & Martin Snow Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Holocaust Speaker Series: Dan Ottenheimer
DESCRIPTION:“Dan Otteinheimer tells the story of his father\, Fritz Ottenheimer. Fritz was born in 1925 in Konstanz\, Germany — a large town with a population of around 40\,000. When Hitler came to power in 1933\, Fritz and his family were forced to endure increasing anti-Jewish propaganda\, discrimination and persecution. In November of 1938\, Fritz witnessed his father’s arrest\, on what is now known as Kristallnacht\, or the “night of broken glass” when around 30\,000 innocent Jewish men were taken to concentration camps. \nAfter his father’s release from the Dachau concentration camp\, Fritz\, now 14 years old\, and his family immigrated to the U.S. \nAfter graduating from high school in New York in 1944\, Fritz volunteered to become part of the U.S. Army. He was deployed to Germany in 1945\, and served in units that aided in the “de-Nazification” process of his home country. When the war ended\, Fritz returned to the U.S.\, got a degree in Industrial Engineering\, and eventually settled in Pittsburgh\, PA. \nDan\, Fritz’s son\, was born in Pittsburgh in 1957. As a child\, thanks to the influence of his father\, Dan loved the outdoors — most notably hiking\, camping\, biking and caving (one of his father’s hobbies as well). \nDan moved to Boston in the 1970’s to attend college. He remained there and worked at several software companies until he retired in 2016. In 2019\, two years after his father passed away\, Dan began to speak in the Boston area about his father’s experiences in Germany. In 2021\, Dan joined the Generations Speakers Bureau at the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh\, speaking virtually to schools and organizations in the Pittsburgh area. \nIn his talks\, Dan tells his father’s stories about growing up as a Jewish child in Nazi Germany\, and about his father’s return to Germany as a soldier in the U.S. Army. \nThe Holocaust Speaker Series is held each Wednesday at 11 a.m. on Zoom. The series is sponsored by Margaret & Michael Valentine in partnership with the Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center and the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage.” \nRegister: https://www.holocaustandhumanity.org/events/holocaust-speaker-series-dan-ottenheimer/
