Online Event: An Intimate Conversation Between Two Descendants of Stutthof Concentration Camp
Marylin & Silvia will compare how their family members were treated and the reasons they were in Stutthof Concentration Camp at the same time. They will address the fraud by the Lithuanian government to declare Noreika innocent of crimes of genocide, and how his detention in Stutthof has been used as a misleading political tool for Lithuanian Holocaust deception.

German Family History and “Ordinary” Antisemitism
SPEAKER: Björn Krondorfer, Regents' Professor The question of "ordinary antisemitism" will be explored through a personal story about the effects of the Holocaust and war memories in German society after 1945, especially as they are passed on generationally. The speaker's parents were 18years old when the war ended. His father was drafted into the German army at age 16 and ended up in the near vicinity of a Jewish slave labor camp in Poland; his mother escaped from the advancing Soviet Army. The talk concludes with remarks on the value of dialogical engagement between the communities affected by historical trauma due to state-sponsored violent ideologies.

With courage, guile, and nerves of steel, these “ghetto girls” paid off Gestapo guards, hid revolvers in loaves of bread and jars of marmalade, and helped build systems of underground bunkers. They flirted with German soldiers, bribed them with wine, whiskey, and home cooking, used their Aryan looks to seduce them, and shot and killed them. They bombed German train lines and blew up a town’s water supply. They also nursed...
Teaching Genocide Comparatively Workshop.
Arizona State University Tempe Campus, TempeLocation: Coor Hall 4403, ASU Tempe Campus. Speakers include PHA President Sheryl Bronkesh, Professors Volker Benkert and Jason Bruner. Holocaust education, and genocide education more broadly, is an area in which humanities scholars and scholarship can make important contributions to civic education. While many U.S. states include the Holocaust and other genocides in their history and social studies standards, there are relatively few resources for high school teachers to teach these atrocities in a way that is sensitive to the historical particularities of each genocide and provides their students with a meaningful comparative framework.
