SUMMARY:2014 Stroum Lectures\, Day 2: School Photos and Their Afterlives
DESCRIPTION:2014 Samuel and Althea Stroum Lectures in Jewish Studies\n“School Photos and Their Afterlives: A Comparative Jewish Perspective”\nFeaturing Dr. Marianne Hirsch (Columbia University) and Dr. Leo Spitzer (Dartmouth College)\n  \nLecture 1: School Photos in the Era of Assimilation: Jews\, Indians\, and Blacks (March 31) \nLecture 2: Framing Children: The Holocaust and After (April 2) \nPhotographs of school classes appear very early in the history of photography and are pervasive in individual and family albums throughout the world.  This year’s Stroum Lectures examine the historical\, memorial\, and aesthetic dimensions of school photographs from a comparative Jewish perspective.  The lectures explore photography’s ideological role from the 19th century through World War II\, a span of decades wherein the political climate for Jews shifted from emancipation and integration to exclusion\, persecution\, and genocide. Reflecting on the afterlives of these images in memorial and artistic installations\, the talks also suggest that school photographs can represent the possibility of resistance and subversion—even during the most challenging time in the Jewish people’s history. \n  \nThe first lecture\, focusing on class images from the 19th and early 20th century\, examines practices of assimilation that are revealed in photographs from educational establishments intended for the “civilization” of indigenous and African American children in North America and from schools attended by Jewish children in Habsburg-ruled Central Europe.  The second lecture looks at the process of exclusion of Jews in 20th-century Central Europe by way of school pictures taken in the 1920’s and ’30s\, as well as in sanctioned and clandestine schools – some\, in ghettos and camps – in the years of the Holocaust. \nDr. Marianne Hirsch and Dr. Leo Spitzer\, the 2014 Stroum Lecturers. \nThis year’s Stroum Lecturers are Dr. Marianne Hirsch\, Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University\, and Dr. Leo Spitzer\, the Kathe Tappe Vernon Professor of History at Dartmouth College. Among numerous publications on the Holocaust and Jewish culture\, they have co-authored Ghosts of Home: The Afterlife of Czernowitz in Jewish Memory (University of California Press\, 2010). \nAmong the many achievements being celebrated by UW Jewish Studies during its 40th anniversary year\, the Stroum Lectures are a source of special pride for UW Jewish Studies. Since 1976\, the Samuel and Althea Stroum Lectureship in Jewish Studies has brought the best minds of the field to speak at the University of Washington. Several of the books published from these lectures have become watershed publications in Jewish thought\, history\, and culture. View our video archive of recent Stroum Lectures\, and find out more about the Stroum Book Series at the University of Washington Press. And don’t miss this year’s Stroum Lectures\, part of our ongoing 40th anniversary series of events. \nTickets may be reserved in advance here.  \n \nSell Tickets Online through Eventbrite\n\nWe thank our cosponsors for this year’s Stroum Lectures: the Center for West European Studies\, the Department of American Ethnic Studies\, the Department of American Indian Studies\, the Department of Germanics\, the School of Art at the University of Washington\, and Education Services at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. \n \n

SUMMARY:Yom HaShoah: Universal Perspectives on Holocaust Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:As the Holocaust (Shoah) is observed throughout the world this week and the UW community welcomes jurist\, memoirist and concentration camp survivor Thomas Buergenthal\, it is a fitting time to consider the contemporary commemoration of state-sponsored murder by the Nazi regime. Lawyer/Activist Reut Cohen writes: “We Israelis grow up in the shadows of the Holocaust. It’s always there and always very present. I don’t think this is necessarily bad\, but I recognize two possible educational messages that derive from this: the first is that ‘We must never let this happen to us [Jews/Israel] again and have to do everything in order to prevent it’ and the second is ‘We must never let this happen again to any other nation or people.’” Join us for a discussion about the public remembrance of genocidal events. \n*Light lunch provided* \nGuest Speaker: Reut Cohen\, New Israel Fund Civil Liberties Law Program Fellow \nRespondents: \nRabbi Oren Hayon\, Hillel UW                                                      Prof. Stephen Rosenbaum\, UW Law \n                                                            \n  \n  \n  \n
