PREVIOUS LUNCH & LEARN PROGRAMS
Americans and the Holocaust
Tuesday, November 12, 2024 | Online
12:00-1:00 pm (PT)
During the twelve years that Nazis were in power, Americans disagreed vehemently about their responsibilities to admit refugees, to intervene in war, and to save Jews targeted for murder. This program examines Americans’ responsibilities in a global crisis by asking how all of American society—including the US government, the media, faith leaders, and others—responded to the dangers posed by Nazi Germany.
From the Ottoman Empire to Auschwitz:
The Untold Story of Sephardic Jews and the Holocaust
Tuesday, December 10, 2024 | Online
12:00-1:00 pm (PT)
Although usually understood as a “European” event, the Holocaust also resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Sephardic Jews born in the predominantly Muslim world of the Ottoman Empire, especially those from the city of Salonica (Thessaloniki) and the Island of Rhodes, both in today's Greece. Grappling with the particularities of their experiences compels us to expand the scope of the Holocaust to recognize the interconnections between the rise of Hitler’s empire and the making of the modern Middle East.
