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: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 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: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/
