Acclaimed author and speaker, Robert Watson, Ph.D., has published over 40 books and hundreds of scholarly articles, chapters, and essays on topics in history and politics. His book, The Nazi Titanic, tells how in the final days of the Second World War, the ship was packed with thousands of concentration camp prisoners who suffered in poor conditions as they waited for the end of the war. Just days before Germany surrendered, the ship was mistakenly bombed by the British Royal Air Force, and nearly all of the prisoners were killed. Books will be available for sale following the talk.<\/p>\n

John Hirsh was born in Hungary and survived the Holocaust in Budapest. He arrived in Canada at the age of 17 in 1947, through the War Orphans Project of the Canadian Jewish Congress. He was adopted by Alex and Pauline Shack of Winnipeg. It was in Winnipeg that Hirsch started his theater career which included years as Head of Drama at the CBC and Director of the Stratford Festival. His love for the arts and creativity as a director quickly won him recognition in Canada and beyond.<\/p>\n

\nTime:<\/strong> 7:00 PM
\nLocation:<\/strong> Kehillat Beth Israel Synagogue 1400 Coldrey Ave
\nAn event for descendants of survivors. Registration required.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Descendants of Holocaust survivors Speak Out: Memory, Identity and Emerging Narratives. \u201cI don\u2019t speak because I have the power to speak, I speak because I cannot remain silent.\u201d Rabbi A. I. Kooke.<\/p>\n

A panel discussion with Israel\u2019s Ambassador to Canada – Nimrod Barkan, Elin Beaumont, Lawrence Greenspon, and Prof Jan Grabowski. Artur Wilczynski Canada\u2019s ambassador to Norway and Canada\u2019s representative to IHRA.<\/p>\n

The Forum includes diverse speakers with a broad range of experiences who will discuss topics that are of interest to descendants of Holocaust Survivors.<\/p>\n

Without having lived through the events of the Holocaust, descendants of Holocaust survivors were affected by their parents\u2019 experiences. As the number of our parents and grandparents who survived the Holocaust is dwindling, some of the questions that emerge for us are: how do we keep their stories of pain and suffering, survival and resilience alive? How do we tell their stories? In what ways have their stories shaped us?<\/p>\n

Our five panelists, all descendants of Holocaust survivors, will share stories and memories that shaped their life choices, and why it is important for them to speak out and make a difference.<\/p>\n

Presented by the Centre for Holocaust Education and Scholarship in cooperation with Kehillat Beth Israel Synagogue and the Azrieli Foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dr. Avinoam Patt, Philip D Feltman Professor of Modern Jewish History and Associate Director at the Maurice Greenberg Centre for Judaic Studies, at the University of Hartford, Connecticut where he is also Director of the Museum of Jewish Civilization.<\/p>\n

Kristallnacht, known as the Night of Broken Glass, a wave of violent attacks on Jewish stores, homes and synagogues (hence the shattered glass), took place across Nazi Germany and Austria on November 9 and 10, 1938, setting off an explosion of human destruction that was to become the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

This year’s Kristallnacht memorial lecture will focus on hope and revival, under the theme of Immigration and Refugees: Then and Now<\/em>. Dr. Avinoam Patt will discuss the revival of survivors’ lives after the Holocaust\u2019s devastation, and reflect on the power of refugees, past and present, to recreate themselves given the right conditions\u2014a topic that has not been explored in such depth before and is very relevant today. Descendants of survivors too will discover an important link to their parents’ survival experience in this presentation.<\/p>\n
