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 StatesRegister: 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. Like many survivors, Sittsamer buried his past and refused to speak to his children about his experiences. Now at the other end of his life, as depicted in Mazel, Sittsamer has begun speaking out. He finds an urgent need and a sense of purpose in these lectures. And that, unfortunately, does nothing to soothe his prickly relationship...
