Rosenbluth Family Charitable Foundation Genocide Awareness Week 2025

With special focus on the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide and the murder and displacement of Native American communities, Genocide Awareness Week 2025 will bring different cultures of remembrance, memorialization and repair after genocide in conversation with each other. The importance of survivor testimony, the need to bring perpetrators to justice, the power and limits of representation in text and art, as well as the difficulty to represent the complexity of genocide through memorialization are shared features of confronting genocide. Equally important is the need to counter genocide denial and distortion. Starting from common themes such as these, GAW fosters dialogues among survivors, academics, activists, artists, and government officials through presentations, performances, discussions, and exhibits. https://jewishstudies.asu.edu/GAW25

Mazel

Arizona Jewish Historical Society 122 E. Culver, Phoenix, AZ, United States

Register: https://phoenixhsa.formstack.com/forms/mazel   The Theatre Artists Studio, Phoenix Holocaust Association, and Arizona Jewish Historical Society are proud to present a staged reading and talk-back of the play "Mazel". Based on the experiences of Holocaust survivor Jack Sittsamer, who survived eight concentration camps, "Mazel" follows Sittsamer as he comes to America after the war and begins a new life in Pittsburgh, marrying and raising a family there.

And that, unfortunately, does nothing to soothe his prickly relationship...
