The Holocaust: Genocide to Rebirth

From the growing wave of anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany to the creation of the State of Israel, our guest speakers provide detailed and personal accounts of events that shed light on the Holocaust and its aftermath. First, allow an Oral Historian to take you back to Nazi Germany as she shares a Survivor's story of the Holocaust. Next, discuss the Nuremberg Trials with a Human Rights Lawyer who provides insight into how these trials departed from an ordinary system of justice. Also discuss the continued controversial use of military tribunals to this day. Talk with a Survivor/Documentarian about her experience wearing the Yellow Star and learn about the Holocaust through the eyes of a child. Our Guest Speaker will share these stories, her feelings and how she tries to retell the stories of the Holocaust through her documentaries. Finally, understand the aftermath of the war and the establishment of the State of Israel by hearing from an Expert in Middle Eastern Cultures about these events and the cultural epicenter that Jerusalem is to this day.
