SUMMARY:A Conversation with Holocaust Survivor Albert Farhy
DESCRIPTION:The first of our “Elizabeth Sylvian Memorial Lectures\,” which address issues related to the Holocaust\, including lessons still to be learned and implications for the 21st century. This program also marks the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht\, the “night of broken glass\,” the organized pogrom against Jews in Nazi Germany. \nAlbert Farhy was born in Sofia\, Bulgaria. At the age of 13\, he was forced into a ghetto then almost sent to a concentration camp\, before Bulgarian officials stepped in to prevent his deportation. Albert will discuss topics including his life before and during the Holocaust\, and his rescue at the hands of the Bulgarian officials. He will also recount stories about the presence of music in his life\, as his father was once a musician\, who played the violin and was involved with the Jewish Symphony of Bulgaria. \nYour support enables us to continue our work and expand our reach with more programs like this. The recommended donation for this event is $10\, but registration is free and cost should not be a barrier to attendance. There will be an option to donate when reserving your ticket\, or if you’d prefer to donate directly through the Holocaust Center’s website\, click here. \nREGISTER HERE* \n*Please note\, this is an in-person event. \nHolocaust Center of Pittsburgh’s annual Kristallnacht program is generously supported by Edgar Snyder.

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/

SUMMARY:The Righteous Among the Nations\, a Yad Vashem exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Dates: October 11-November 17 \nGallery Hours: M-F 11am-5:30pm\, Weekends by Appointment   \nLocation: Susan Bergman Gurrentz ’56 Art Gallery\, Chatham University\, 1 Woodland Rd.\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15232\n(The gallery appears as Chatham University Art Gallery when searched for on Google Maps)  \nCost: The exhibition is free and open to the public \nYad Vashem’s exhibition “Righteous Among the Nations” tells the stories of 17 people who rescued Jews during the Holocaust. 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

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.

SUMMARY:The Fruits of Hate: A French City During the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Dr. David Rosenberg’s exhibit “The Fruits of Hate: A French City During the Holocaust” opened at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall on Monday\, October 2\, for its premiere exhibition at a public library in the United States. 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.

SUMMARY:(POSTPONED) The Panama Affair: Financial Scandal\, Political Corruption and the Rise of Modern Anti-Semitism in 19th century France
DESCRIPTION:*THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED \nThe French anti-Semitic movement of the 1890s- typically associated with the Dreyfus affair- was in fact launched by a different scandal. 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:

SUMMARY:Save the Date: By the Waters of Babylon at Carnegie Science Center
DESCRIPTION:By the Waters of Babylon at Carnegie Science Center. Showtimes TBA. RSVP to be notified when tickets are available for purchase.\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: This is a save the date to receive more information when tickets are available for purchase.  \nThe Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh\, in partnership with the Clarion Quartet and the Carnegie Science Center\, is proud to present the documentary By The Waters of Babylon\, a story of composers who created hope in a time of darkness and a modern-day string quartet dedicated to shining a light on their legacy. \nThis project\, made possible by The Heinz Endowments Small Arts Initiative\, uses the medium of 360 video to take viewers on an immersive journey into the world of composers silenced by the Holocaust and a contemporary string quartet’s mission to bring this music to a wider audience. Viewers begin their experience situated in the center of the Clarion Quartet as they perform String Quartet #3 by Viktor Ullmann\, a composer who suffered under Nazi oppression. By the Waters of Babylon then interweaves images of the past and the present as it tells the story of the “Entartete Musik” composers and the Clarion Quartet’s mission to shine light on music silenced by oppression. \nThe Clarion Quartet is composed of Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra musicians who aim to give a voice to great composers who suffered the injustices of oppression. Their current repertoire features the work of composers who were detained in the Nazi camps yet continued to create beautiful\, meaningful work. In 2016\, during a Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra European tour\, the quartet arranged a performance at the Theresienstadt camp in the Czech Republic where some of the pieces they performed were originally composed. The quartet’s collective memory of this moving experience serves as the departure point for this project; their thoughts lead the viewer on a journey into the lives and works of these composers and the creation of art in the face of the darkest atrocities.

Sophie Scholl\, her brother Hans\, and their friends Christoph Probst\, Alexander Schmorell\, Willie Graf – college students – and Professor Kurt Huber were the driving forces behind The White Rose. This group\, synonymous with resistance against nazism\, is the subject of this remarkable play by James DeVita.
