White and Joanna Sliwa DESCRIPTION:Riverstone Books and the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh are pleased to present an evening with Elizabeth B. White and Joanna Sliwa \nWorld War II and the Holocaust have given rise to many stories of resistance and rescue\, but The Counterfeit Countess is unique. It tells the remarkable\, unknown story of “Countess Janina Suchodolska\,” a Jewish woman who rescued more than 10\,000 Poles imprisoned by Poland’s Nazi occupiers. \nMehlberg operated in Lublin\, Poland\, headquarters of Aktion Reinhard\, the SS operation that murdered 1.7 million Jews in occupied Poland. Using the identity papers of a Polish aristocrat\, she worked as a welfare official while also serving in the Polish resistance. With guile\, cajolery\, and steely persistence\, the “Countess” persuaded SS officials to release thousands of Poles from the Majdanek concentration camp. She won permission to deliver food and medicine for thousands more of the camp’s prisoners. At the same time\, she personally smuggled supplies and messages to resistance fighters imprisoned at Majdanek. Incredibly\, she eluded detection\, and ultimately survived the war and emigrated to the US. Drawing on the manuscript of Mehlberg’s own unpublished memoir\, supplemented with prodigious research\, Elizabeth White and Joanna Sliwa\, professional historians and Holocaust experts\, have uncovered the full story of this remarkable woman. \nRegister here. \nDr. Elizabeth “Barry” White recently retired from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum\, where she served as historian and as Research Director for the USHMM’s Center for the Prevention of Genocide. Prior to working for the USHMM\, Barry spent a career at the US Department of Justice working on investigations and prosecutions of Nazi criminals and other human rights violators. She served as deputy director and chief historian of the Office of Special Investigations and as deputy chief and chief historian of the Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section. She lives in Falls Church\, Virginia. \nDr. Joanna Sliwa is a historian at the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) in New York\, where she also administers academic programs. She previously worked at the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee\, and at the Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust. She has taught Holocaust and Jewish history at Kean University and at Rutgers University and has served as a historical consultant and researcher\, including for the PBS film In the Name of Their Mothers: The Story of Irena Sendler.

Black Lives in Nazi Germany DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually for our annual commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day as we hear from Dr. Robbie Aitken\, professor at Sheffield Hallam University\, as he discusses the concept of ‘forgotten victims\,’ which looks at the experiences of Germany’s Black resident community. Dr. Aitken’s research suggests that there was a genocidal intent in Nazi policy towards Black people\, which while not systematically implemented\, had a devastating effect on Black lives. The talk will also consider why their stories are missing from public and academic knowledge of the Nazi period as well as more recent attempts to make these life stories visible. \nThis event is in partnership with the Jack Buncher Chair in Jewish Studies at Carnegie Mellon University\, the Jewish Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh\, and the Department of Social Sciences at Chatham University. \nThis is a virtual event. Registration is free and donation is optional. Click here to register. A link will be made available closer to the date of the event. \n \nProfessor Robbie Aitken is an Historian of Black Europe and Empire at Sheffield Hallam University. He has written widely on the development of a Black community in Germany from the 1880s up to 1945. His publications include Black Germany\, the Making and Unmaking of a Diaspora Community\, 1884-1960\, (with Eve Rosenhaft). Currently he is working on the Black experience of Nazi Germany as well as post-war compensation claims made by Black victims of the Holocaust. \nHe has worked with a wide range of non-academic audiences such as schools\, museums\, artists\, film directors\, and community groups\, and has been involved in several public exhibition and memorial projects in Berlin as well as developing and staging his own travelling exhibition ‘Black Germany’\, which has been shown in the UK\, Germany\, and Cameroon.

Cohon University Center\nCarnegie Mellon University\nUniversity Center\, 5032 Forbes Ave\, Pittsburgh\, PA 15213 \n\n\nJoin Classrooms Without Borders in partnership with The Collaboratory Against Hate and the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh for the remarkable premiere of the film “Irena’s Vow.” \nGiven the dark days we have experienced since war broke out in Israel\, our community invites you to join us for this Community Event. As we light the Hanukkah candles\, let us come together\, raising our voices to honor the festival of lights. Hanukkah\, the Festival of Lights\, encompasses themes of miracles and divine intervention\, freedom and independence\, rededication and renewal\, light in darkness\, family and togetherness\, tradition and heritage\, resilience and perseverance\, community and unity\, gratitude\, and the importance of education and learning. These themes collectively symbolize the holiday’s significance in Jewish tradition\, emphasizing the enduring values and lessons it imparts. \nIrena’s Vow” stands as a powerful reminder of the indomitable human spirit in the face of the Holocaust’s darkness\, illuminating the triumph of courage\, compassion\, and resilience in the most challenging of times connecting us \n\n\nIn this captivating narrative featuring Sophie Nélisse\, Dougray Scott\, Andrzej Seweryn\, and Maciek Nawrocki\, the true story of Irena Gut Opdyke unfolds. This tale revolves around the resilience of the human spirit in the face of immense tragedy. Irena Gut\, a 19-year-old\, is unexpectedly promoted to housekeeper in a Nazi officer’s home just as the Jewish ghetto faces imminent liquidation. Fueled by a determination to save twelve Jewish workers\, she makes a bold decision to shelter them in the safest place she can think of: the basement of the German commandant’s house. Over the next two years\, Irena relies on her wit\, humor\, and unwavering courage to conceal her friends until the conclusion of the German occupation. Her story is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit\, marked by the incredible feats of bravery amidst a backdrop of Nazi parties\, a daring blackmail scheme\, and the birth of a child. Irena Gut Opdyke’s journey is undoubtedly one of the most inspirational stories of our time. \n\nRegister here. URL:https://hcofpgh.org/event/irenas-vow-community-film-event/ LOCATION:Jared L.

In the 1892-93 Panama scandal\, the anti-Semitic movement first coalesced over a broadly shared outrage about a corrupt foreign investment scheme in which hundreds of thousands of ordinary investors lost their fortunes. Seeing the scandal as revealing Jews’ nefarious control of France’s democratic institutions\, anti-Semitic leaders channeled the populist impulse in France into a politically potent kind of anti-Jewish xenophobia. This presentation looks anew at the affair as a formative moment in the history of anti-Semitism\, and provides a new perspective on anti-Semitic movements’ critique of liberal democracy\, capitalism\, and globalization. \nLocated in the Rachel Mellon Walton Room in Posner Hall (First Floor)\, Carnegie Mellon University URL:https://hcofpgh.org/event/the-panama-affair-financial-scandal-political-corruption-and-the-rise-of-modern-anti-semitism-in-19th-century-france-2/ LOCATION:Carnegie Mellon University END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231114T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231114T190000 DTSTAMP:20260404T045939 CREATED:20230929T141011Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231108T163345Z UID:25478-1699984800-1699988400@hcofpgh.org SUMMARY:Ilsa's Story: A Personal History of the Holocaust DESCRIPTION:“A story of tragedy\, family\, and survival. \nThe library is honored to host Emily Loeb of the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh for a special picture presentation about her grandmother’s experience as a Holocaust survivor.

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 a world in which hostility and indifference prevailed\, there was a small non-Jewish minority who regarded the Jews as fellow human beings who came within the bounds of their universe of obligation. These individuals mustered extraordinary courage to uphold human values\, and to rescue hunted Jews with no expectation of remuneration. These were the Righteous Among the Nations. Rescue took many forms and the Righteous came from different nations\, religions and walks of life. What they had in common was that they protected their Jewish neighbors in a world of total moral collapse. \nCo-sponsored by Chatham University and the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh \nA community partner event for Violins of Hope Greater Pittsburgh \nFor more information contact: j.louks@chatham.edu URL:https://hcofpgh.org/event/the-righteous-among-the-nations-a-yad-vashem-exhibit/ LOCATION:Susan Bergman Gurrentz ’56 Art Gallery\, Chatham University\, 1 Woodland Rd.\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15232\, United States CATEGORIES:Sponsored by HCP END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20231007 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20231122 DTSTAMP:20260404T045939 CREATED:20230627T145208Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230627T145208Z UID:24325-1696636800-1700611199@hcofpgh.org SUMMARY:Violins of Hope Greater Pittsburgh Exhibit DESCRIPTION:Violins of Hope Greater Pittsburgh\, is a landmark community project centered on the valuable lessons of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. Over the course of two months\, through educational and cultural programs\, this unique project will use lessons of the Holocaust to demonstrate humanity’s amazing ability to rebound from even the darkest depravity. The centerpiece of this project will be an exhibit of stringed instruments that were played by Jewish prisoners in the concentration camps during the Holocaust. This exhibit will be free to the public and housed at the Posner Center on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University. There\, trained docents will facilitate an understanding of the role that music played in the life of prisoners\, whether as a mechanism for survival\, mental escape\, or even resistance. The mere existence of each instrument merits a story of hope and survival. Together\, we are tuning out prejudice and building bridges that last. \nOver the course of two months\, through educational and cultural programs and exhibits\, this unique project will\, through lessons of the Holocaust\, demonstrate humanity’s amazing ability to rebound from even the darkest depravity. The centerpiece of this event is the Violins of Hope Exhibit\, which showcases violins played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust. Each instrument has a unique emotional history that tells a story of perseverance and hope. \nPittsburgh has long been known as the City of Bridges\, with a multitude of these unique and colorful structures that connect our communities and our diverse backgrounds. These connectors have enabled us to come together to celebrate our shared cultural\, educational\, social\, and vocational activities. \n  \nHow better to underscore these sharedvalues than through a landmark collaboration of the arts\, religious institutions\, community organizations\, education professionals\, and musicians. Violins of Hope Greater Pittsburgh will present impactful programming throughout our community\, reinforcing the valuable lessons of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion that are essential to our future.

This international exhibit has been featured at the University of Pittsburgh\, the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh\, Bower Hill Community Church\, Temple Emanuel\, and Duquesne University. It has also been shown in a French version at the University of Picardy and in several French high schools\, and will be on display starting January 2024 at the Bibliothèque Louis Aragon public library in Amiens. \nThe exhibit delves into questions of official\, cultural\, and religious Jewish identity in the French city of Amiens from 1940-45. The use of identification cards\, personal correspondence\, photos\, and audio recordings bring a compelling immediacy to the exhibit. Several of these elements have been added or expanded upon since this exhibit’s most recent showing. New translations of personal correspondence by Grove City College French students are also included. In a time of rising anti-Semitism\, remembering and engaging with the atrocities of the Holocaust finds an increased urgency and importance. \n“The Fruits of Hate” is open to the public during regular Library hours from October 2 through November 30. \nDr. David Rosenberg received a Ph.D. in European History from Yale University with a dissertation on the Protestant movement in Amiens in the 16th century. After a decades long engagement with that particular city and its history\, Dr. Rosenberg embarked in 2011 on the study of the fate of its Jewish community especially during the Shoah. As a byproduct of his research\, Rosenberg consulted with the Departmental Archives of the Somme to enrich their holdings and digital representation of Jewish- related materials. With daughter Lydia Rosenberg and Jared Miller\, he created a website containing several hundred scans of original documents related to the Jews of the Somme during the Occupation with introductions in English (www.jewsofthesomme.com). In 2013 he was named a Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government\, and he received the Medal of the City of Amiens in 2023 for his contributions to the history and memory of that region.

In the 1892-93 Panama scandal\, the anti-Semitic movement first coalesced over a broadly shared outrage about a corrupt foreign investment scheme in which hundreds of thousands of ordinary investors lost their fortunes. Seeing the scandal as revealing Jews’ nefarious control of France’s democratic institutions\, anti-Semitic leaders channeled the populist impulse in France into a politically potent kind of anti-Jewish xenophobia. This presentation looks anew at the affair as a formative moment in the history of anti-Semitism\, and provides a new perspective on anti-Semitic movements’ critique of liberal democracy\, capitalism\, and globalization. \nLearn more: https://www.cmu.edu/dietrich/history/events/2023/panama-affair.html \nSponsored by: URL:https://hcofpgh.org/event/the-panama-affair-financial-scandal-political-corruption-and-the-rise-of-modern-anti-semitism-in-19th-century-france/ LOCATION:Carnegie Mellon University CATEGORIES:Sponsored by HCP END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230913T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230913T200000 DTSTAMP:20260404T045939 CREATED:20230912T202904Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230912T203603Z UID:25348-1694629800-1694635200@hcofpgh.org SUMMARY:Holocaust Survivors of Lawrence County: Stories of Resilience and Rebuilding DESCRIPTION:“Learn about three Holocaust survivors who immigrated to and settled in Lawrence County; how these survivors started families\, owned and operated businesses\, served as faith leaders and pillars of their communities\, and truly became a part of the fabric of the New Castle area.
