"One of the lessons of the Holocaust is that we have to be literalists.
When we hear somebody say, 'Kill the Jews,' we have to realize, they probably mean it."
- Alvin H. Rosenfeld
Director, Institute for the Study of Contemporary Anti-Semitism in Unmasked: Judeophobia

WARSAW GHETTO UPRISING
TRAVELLING EXHIBIT
For more info,
contact Karen Misler at 201.833.5040 x13 | In order to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the American Friends of the Ghetto Fighters' Museum has created a 44‐panel exhibit that depicts the story of Jewish resistance to Nazi oppression and focuses on individual stories of survivors.
The exhibit, entitled Triumph of Life, is comprised of two parallel tracks. One track is based on an educational exhibit produced by the Ghetto Fighters' Museum in Israel, and it portrays the many forms of resistance undertaken by the Jews in the Holocaust. The second track offers a more personal encounter with individual survivors who, through their own involvement and the involvement of their children in Holocaust education and remembrance, have supported the Ghetto Fighters' Museum in maintaining and strengthening the historic legacy of the Jewish resistance. The 44 color panels of 15.5 "x 22.5" incorporate photographs, quotes, and historical texts. The cost is $200 plus shipping and handling. |
HAIFA UNIVERSITY MASTERS
PROGRAM IN HOLOCAUST STUDIES
University of Haifa campus
| Many questions in Holocaust Studies still remain unanswered. The Multidisciplinary M.A. Program in Holocaust Studies at Haifa University is dedicated to the creation and nurturing of a new generation of Holocaust researchers. Its aim is to provide them with a well-rounded curriculum from a wide variety of disciplines and subjects, diverse methodologies and essential languages.
The program offers courses in the history of World War II; history of Nazi Germany; Nazi policy of extermination and the Final Solution; Polish Jewry in the interwar period; social history of the family, women and children in the Holocaust period; psychological aspects of Holocaust trauma; and more. A unique aspect of the program is cooperation with museums and archives in Israel and abroad, such as Yad Vashem and the Ghetto Fighter's House museum in Israel, the Fritz Bauer Institute in Germany and the Polish Academy in Warsaw. Additional features of the program are study tours to Germany and Poland where the students will visit museums, archives and historical sites. The visits will involve seminars with local students and leading German and Polish scholars. |
