- Whatâs Fascism Got to Do With It? The Ideological Origins of the HolocaustTwentieth-century fascism was a political ideology encompassing totalitarianism, state terrorism, imperialism, racism, and, in Germanyâs case, the most radical genocide of the last century: the Holocaust. Historians of the Holocaust tend to reject the notion of fascism as a causal explanation for its origins. Conversely, scholars of fascism present the Shoah as a particular event that is not central to fascist historiography. In this lecture Federico Finchelstein examines the challenge the Holocaust presents to the transnational history of ideology and politics. A leading contemporary authority on global fascism, Finchelstein is Professor of History at the New School for Social Research and Eugene Lang College and Director of the Janey Program in Latin American Studies at NSSR.

- Holocaust (Video) Apr 25 · 51m Hugo Marcus: A Muslim Jew Under the SwastikaHugo Marcus (1880â1966) was a man of many names and identities. Born a German Jew, he converted to Islam and took the name Hamid, becoming one of the most prominent Muslims in Germany prior to World War II. Renamed Israel by the Nazis, he was sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp before escaping to Switzerland. In exile, he fought for homosexual rights and wrote queer fiction under the pen name Hans Alienus. Marc David Baer discusses his new book âGerman, Jew, Muslim, Gayâ in which he tells the story of a highly unconventional man and reveals new aspects of the interconnected histories of Jewish and Muslim individuals and communities, including Muslim responses to Nazism and Muslim experiences of the Holocaust.

- The Moral Triangle: Germans Israelis Palestinians with Saâed Atshan and Katharina GalorWhen the Second World War came to an end, Berlin, the capital of the Third Reich, lay in ruins. Few contemporaries, if any, could have anticipated that 70 years later, Berlin would boast large diaspora communities of Palestinians and Israelis who have made a home among Germans. In âThe Moral Triangle,â Saâed Atshan and Katharina Galor draw on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with Israelis, Palestinians and Germans in Berlin to explore the fraught relationship between the three groups in the context of official German policies, public discourse and the private sphere. Atshan is author of âQueer Palestine: Empire of Critique.â Galor, an art historian and archaeologist, is the Hirschfeld Senior Lecturer of Judaic Studies at Brown University. Her publications include âThe Archaeology of Jerusalem: From the Origins to the Ottomansâ (co-authored with Hanswulf Bloedhorn) and âFinding Jerusalem: Archaeology Between Science and Ideology.â Series: "Library Channel" [Humanities] [Show ID: 37751]0 comments0

- Mengele: Unmasking the Angel of Death with David Marwell - Holocaust Living History WorkshopWho was Josef Mengele? After the end of the Holocaust, the German physician has been increasingly viewed as the personification of supreme evil both in the minds of survivors and the public at large. In this lecture based on his highly acclaimed book âMengele,â David Marwell untangles history and myth surrounding the man known variously as the Angel of Death and the good uncle, suggesting that Mengele was not so much a uniquely monstrous perpetrator, but more a willing part of a monstrous machine of destruction. Marwell has had a distinguished career as chief of investigative research at the US Department of Justice, associate museum director at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and director and CEO of the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City.

- Sexual Barter in Times of Genocide: Reflections on Sexual Violence Agency and Sex Work with Anna Hajkova- Holocaust Living History WorkshopWhat is everyday life, and how is it experienced under extreme stress? This is the broader question that animates the research of Anna HĂĄjkovĂĄ, an associate professor of Modern Continental European History at the University of Warwick. In her talk, HĂĄjkovĂĄ examines sex work, sexual violence, and coercion of Jewish women and men in concentration camps, ghettos, and in hiding. She is the author of many journal articles and books, including her current project, âBoundaries of the Narratable: Transgressive Sexuality and the Holocaust.â This pioneering study seeks to contribute to our understanding of gender and sexual violence during the Holocaust and explores the erasure of narratives of gays and lesbians who were deported as Jews and who subsequently vanished from the historical record.

- Transmitted Wounds: Media and the Mediation of Trauma with Amit Pinchevski - Holocaust Living History WorkshopIn his new book, Transmitted Wounds, Amit Pinchevski explores the ways media technology and logic shape the social life of trauma both clinically and culturally. Drawing on a number of case studies such as radio broadcasts of the Eichmann trial, videotapes of Holocaust survivor testimonies, and the recent use of digital platforms for holographic witnessing, he demonstrates how the technological mediation of trauma feeds the traumatic condition itself. His insights have crucial implications for media studies and the digital humanities field as they provide new ways to understand the relationship between technology and human suffering. Pinchevski is an associate professor in the Department of Communication and Journalism at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Series: "Library Channel" [Humanities] [Show ID: 35017]0 comments0

- Learning from the Germans: Race and the Memory of Evil with Susan Neiman - Holocaust Living History WorkshopAs an increasingly polarized America fights over the legacy of racism, Susan Neiman, author of the contemporary philosophical classic Evil in Modern Thought, asks what we can learn from the Germans about confronting the evils of the past. In the wake of white nationalist attacks, the ongoing debate over reparations, and the controversy surrounding Confederate monuments and the contested memories they evoke, Susan Neimanâs Learning from the Germans delivers an urgently needed perspective on how a country can come to terms with its historical wrongdoings. She combines philosophical reflection, personal stories, and interviews with both Americans and Germans who are grappling with the evils of their own national histories.

- Shoah: Four SistersArchivist Regina Longo (Brown University) joins UCSBâs Harold Marcuse (Department of History) for a discussion of Claude Lanzmannâs final film Shoah: Four Sisters (2018), a four-part miniseries that was screened over two days at the Pollock Theater. Longoâs work includes extensive restoration of Claude Lanzmannâs landmark documentary footage of testimonials from the Holocaust, and in conversation with Marcuse she offers deeper insight into the history of the film and the women it concerns. Longo explains how Lanzmannâs Shoah was initially funded and produced, how hundreds of hours of footage is being carefully restored from original prints and made available online, and how Four Sisters both influences and is situated in a legacy of film, legal testimony, memoir, and other post-war efforts to represent the un-representable horror of the Shoah.

- When Biology Became Destiny: How Historians Interpret Gender in the Holocaust - Holocaust Living History WorkshopDespite the explosive growth of Holocaust studies, scholars of Nazi Germany and the Shoah long neglected gender as an analytical category. It wasnât until 1984 when the essay collection When Biology Became Destiny: Women in Weimar and Nazi Germany raised awareness of womenâs experiences under fascism. It explored womenâs double jeopardy as females and as Jews. In this lecture, Marion Kaplan, one of the editors the publication, takes the audience on a historical tour of her research, from the first workshops raising questions to the first publications providing answers. Since then, the gender perspective has provided significant insight into our understanding of Jewish life in Nazi Germany and during the Holocaust. Kaplan concludes her talk with a forward look at new areas of research that highlight womenâs and gender studies. Series: "Library Channel" [Humanities] [Show ID: 34018]0 comments0
- Holocaust (Video) Apr 25 · 1h 16m Inventing Genocide - The Contingent Origins of a Concept During World War II - Holocaust Living History WorkshopThe suite of international conventions and declarations about genocide, human rights, and refugees after the WWII is known as the âhuman rights revolution.â It is regarded as humanizing international affairs by implementing the lessons of the Holocaust. In this presentation, Dirk Moses, Professor of Modern History at the University of Sydney, questions this rosy picture by investigating how persecuted peoples have invoked the Holocaust and made analogies with Jews to gain recognition as genocide victims. Such attempts rarely succeed and have been roundly condemned as cheapening the Holocaust memory, but how and why does genocide recognition require groups to draw such comparisons? Does the human rights revolution and image of the Holocaust as the paradigmatic genocide humanize postwar international affairs as commonly supposed?

- Against All Odds: Born in Mauthausen with Eva Clarke -- Holocaust Living History Workshop -- The Library ChannelWhat does it mean to be born in a concentration camp, arguably one of the most inhospitable places on earth? Eva Clarke was one of three âmiracle babiesâ who saw the light of day in KZ Mauthausen in Austria. Nine days after her birth, the Second World War ended. As a newborn, Evaâs chances of survival were extremely slim; against all odds, she lived, making her and her mother Anka the only survivors of their extended family.

- The Nazis Next Door with Eric Lichtblau -- Holocaust Living History Workshop -- The Library ChannelIn his highly-acclaimed book, The Nazis Next Door, Eric Lichtblau tells the shocking and shameful story of how America became a safe haven for Hitler's men. Lichtblau explains here how it was possible for thousands of Nazis -- from concentration camp guards to high-level officers in the Third Reich -- to move to the U.S. after WWII, and quietly settle into new lives as Americans. Some of them gained entry as self-styled refugees, while others enjoyed the help and protection of the CIA, the FBI, and the military, who put them to work as spies, intelligence assets, and leading scientists and engineers. Lichtblau's book draws from once-secret government records and interviews, telling the full story of the Nazi scientists brought to America, and the German spies and con men who followed them and lived for decades as Americans. He is presented by the Holocaust Living History Workshop at UC San Diego. Series: "Library Channel" [Public Affairs] [Humanities] [Show ID: 31542]0 comments0

- Holocaust (Video) Mar 13 · 58m The Voice of Your Brotherâs Blood: The Murder of a Town in Eastern Galicia with Omer Bartov: Holocaust Living History Workshop -- The Library ChannelOmer Bartov, the John P. Birkelund Distinguished Professor of European History and German Studies at Brown University, explores the dynamics of the horrifying genocidal violence which took place in the East Galician town of Buczaczâ following the German conquest of the region in 1941â and its subsequent erasure from local memory. For centuries, Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews coexisted in the region, but tragically, by the time the town was liberated in 1944, the entire Jewish population had been murdered by the Nazis. They were assisted by local Ukrainians, who then ethnically cleansed the region of the Polish population. Bartov is presented as part of the Holocaust Living History Workshop at UC San Diego.

- Eva Kor: Surviving the Angel of DeathEva Kor was 10 when she and her family stepped off the train in Auschwitz in the fall of 1944. Minutes later an SS officer took her and her twin sister, Miriam, away from their mother, father and two older sisters. The twins never saw the others again. Awaiting the girls was Josef Mengele, "the Angel of Death" who performed unspeakably sadistic experiments on roughly 1,500 sets of twins. When the Soviet army liberated Auschwitz on Jan. 27, 1945, Eva and Miriam were among the fewer than 200 survivors of Mengele's atrocities. Kor talks about her ordeal at the hands of Mengele and her decision to forgive. Series: "Taubman Symposia in Jewish Studies" [Humanities] [Show ID: 30962]0 comments0
