Teaching Genocide Comparatively Workshop.
2021-10-18 16:00 | Arizona State University, Tempe Campus, Tempe
Location: 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.
In this event, we will briefly introduce a framework that we developed from an eight-year
interdisciplinary collaboration on genocide, including a short curricular framework for the
comparative study of genocide in public secondary schools. We will have a short presentation from
Sheryl Bronkesh, who has worked for years to mandate Holocaust education standards within
Arizona, and conclude with short presentations from student-teacher

The Light of Days
2021-10-14 14:00
by Judy Batalion
Discussion led by Jay Levinsohn

Witnesses to the brutal murder of their families and neighbors and the violent destruction of their communities, a cadre of Jewish women in Poland—some still in their teens—helped transform the Jewish youth groups into resistance cells to fight the Nazis. 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 the sick, taught children, and hid families.
Yet the exploits of these courageous resistance fighters have remained virtually unknown. Batalion follows these women through the savage destruction of the ghettos, arrest and internment in Gestapo prisons and concentration camps, and for a lucky few- into the late 20th century and beyond.
Powerful and inspiring, featuring twenty black-and-white photographs, The Light of Days is an unforgettable true tale of war, the fight for freedom, exceptional bravery, female friendship, and survival in the face of staggering odds.

German Family History and “Ordinary” Antisemitism
2021-10-01 10:00 - 12:00
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.
