SUMMARY:Cántame una romansa: Memory\, Family History\, and Sephardic Ballads in Seattle
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nDr. Rina Benmayor\, Professor of Oral History\, Latina/o Studies\, & Literature \nIn 1973\, Rina Benmayor came to Seattle to record Judeo-Spanish ballads (romansas) in the Sephardic community for her doctoral dissertation. She was following in the footsteps of her mentors\, Samuel Armistead and Joseph Silverman\, to collect\, preserve\, and analyze these precious living remnants of centuries past. It was an experience vividly etched in her memory. Now\, in a special lecture to mark forty years since her initial research project\, Dr. Benmayor reflects on that experience\, on how we remember\, and why we capture the past. Her presentation on April 24th will include the voices and images of elderly members of the Sephardic community in the 1970s\, as well as reflections from later explorations of her own family history. \nRead a new blog profile of Rina Benmayor\, including musical samples of Sephardic ballads\, plus links to oral histories of Seattle’s Sephardic community!\nRina Benmayor is Professor of oral history\, literature\, and Latina/o studies at California State University Monterey Bay. She has a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in Romance Languages and Literatures with an emphasis in Spanish literature.  She has taught at Stanford\, Hunter College (CUNY)\, and is founding faculty at CSU Monterey Bay. At CSUMB\, she teaches oral history\, digital life storytelling\, and narrative literature\, and directs an oral history archive.  Her first book was a collection of Judeo-Spanish ballads collected in Los Angeles and Seattle\, titled Romances judeo-españoles en la costa occidental de los Estados Unidos (Gredos\, 1979). Later books include Migration and Identity (OUP 1994)\, Latino Cultural Citizenship (Beacon\, 1997)\, Telling to Live: Latina Feminist Testimonios (Duke 2001).

SUMMARY:Symposium on Sephardic Jewry and the Holocaust: The Future of the Field
DESCRIPTION:Sephardic Jewry and the Holocaust: The Future of the Field\nApril 28–30\, 2013\nUniversity of Washington\nSeattle\, Washington \nLaurette Cohen (front row\, far right) poses for a class portrait with with her students at an Alliance Israélite Universelle school in Morocco\, 1935. US Holocaust Memorial Museum\, courtesy of Mathilde Tagger \nCo-organized through the Sephardic Studies Initiative of the University of Washington’s Samuel & Althea Stroum Jewish Studies Program and the Museum’s Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies\, this symposium explores the unique history of Sephardic Jewry and the Holocaust. \nAlthough extensive research has been conducted on the Holocaust in recent decades\, the experience of Sephardic Jews on the periphery of occupied Europe\, along the Mediterranean\, and in Vichy-controlled colonies in North Africa has remained relatively unexplored. Understanding the Sephardic experience during the Holocaust forces us to refine our assumptions about its scope and the qualitative differences in the persecution\, destruction\, resistance\, and survival of varied Jewish communities under occupation. \nClick here to access the Symposium Homepage\, which includes Eventbrite links to register for all sessions. Symposium sessions are open to the public\, but due to limited seating\, advance registration is requested.\n\nPLEASE NOTE: The Keynote Address on April 28th and the Day Sessions on April 29th – 30th each require separate registration.\n\n\nClick here to access the Symposium Schedule for the Day Sessions on April 29th and 30th.\n\nClick here to access abstracts for all conference presentations.\n\nAdditional Details:\nKeynote Address: “Sephardim\, Memory\, and the Holocaust”\nDr. Aron Rodrigue\nCharles Michael Professor in Jewish History and Culture; Director and Anthony P. Meier Family Professor in the Humanities\, Stanford Humanities Center\, Stanford University\nSunday\, April 28\, 7:30 p.m.\nUniversity of Washington\nKane Hall\, Room 220\n1410 Northeast Campus Parkway\nSeattle\, Washington \nDay Sessions: These will take place in the University of Washington Allen Library Petersen Room\, #485.

SUMMARY:Keynote Address by Dr. Aron Rodrigue: Sephardim\, Memory & the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Sephardic Jewry and the Holocaust: The Future of the Field is a three-day symposium exploring the unique history of Sephardic Jewry and the Holocaust. Co-organized through the Sephardic Studies Initiative of the University of Washington’s Samuel & Althea Stroum Jewish Studies Program and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies\, this is the first-ever academic gathering devoted to this topic. \nAlthough extensive research has been conducted on the Holocaust in recent decades\, the experience of Sephardic Jews on the periphery of occupied Europe\, along the Mediterranean\, and in Vichy-controlled colonies in North Africa has remained relatively unexplored. Understanding the Sephardic experience during the Holocaust forces us to refine our assumptions about its scope and the qualitative differences in the persecution\, destruction\, resistance\, and survival of varied Jewish communities under occupation. \nThe symposium begins on Sunday\, April 28th at 7:30 p.m. with a special Keynote Address by Dr. Aron Rodrigue\, Charles Michael Professor in Jewish History and Culture\, and Director and Anthony P. Meier Family Professor in the Humanities\, Stanford Humanities Center\, Stanford University. The topic of the address will be “Sephardim\, Memory\, & the Holocaust.” \nCLICK HERE to RSVP for the Keynote Address on April 28th. Advance registration is greatly appreciated. \nFor more information about the Symposium\, include links to the full schedule of the Symposium Day Sessions\, please visit https://jewishstudies.washington.edu/holocaustsymposium/.
