USC Shoah Foundation Program Specialist Svetlana Ushakova will present Geographic Perception of Auschwitz in Survivor Memoirs and Testimonies.

In this talk, Miriam Udel will consider the place of the children’s Yiddish Holocaust canon within a broader set of Jewish literary resources for depicting anti-Jewish violence, resistance and survival.

This event will feature a screening of Colleyville, followed by a panel discussion with the heroic survivors of the terror incident, moderated by Brian Hughes, director of the USC Shoah Foundation Countering Antisemitism Laboratory.

Professor Atina Grossmann shares exciting new work by herself and a transnational cohort of Holocaust scholars on the ambivalent, paradoxical, and varied experiences, emotions, and memories of Jews who found refuge from National Socialism and the Holocaust in India and Iran after 1933.

We invite educators to engage with our testimony-based IWalk, “The Armenian Genocide Martyrs Monument: Community, Memorialization and Commemoration”, which contextualizes and humanizes the history of the Armenian Genocide and the establishment of Armenian Genocide Martyrs Monument at Bicknell Park in Montebello, California.

In honor of Armenian Heritage Month, join us for a conversation with grandchildren of Armenian Genocide survivors and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors.

In a follow up to her inaugural lecture series, Mélanie Péron will discuss how she and her students at the University of Pennsylvania drew upon a wealth of different sources such as diaries and archives to reconstruct the individual stories of Jewish children and their families in occupied France before they were reduced to a typed line on a deportation list and the importance of using sources such as diaries and video testimonies to teach about the Shoah despite the inexorable disappearance of the last remaining witnesses.

Join us as Professors Michelle Lynn Kahn and Steven J. from the University of Southern California’s Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish Role in American Life, explore the lingering international support for Nazism post World War II.

Join us in person for an exclusive screening of For the Living and a discussion with the USC Shoah Foundation Senior Director of Programs, Dr. Catherine Clark, and Executive Producer of the film, Melinda Goldrich.

For the Living is the story of 250 cyclists who travel to Poland and retrace the liberation path of Holocaust survivor Marcel Zielinski from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Kraków. Their 60-mile odyssey inspires an urgent examination of humanity's equally perilous journey from dehumanization to compassion.

Join Dr. Sarah Bunin Benor as she discusses the historical events that have led to major changes in the linguistic profile of Jewish communities around the world.

Join us for a talk examining the strategies of concealment described in the USC Shoah Foundation testimonies of Jewish refugees who made the journey to Japan to escape Nazi persecution in the early 1940s.

Please join the USC Shoah Foundation and our partners at UCLA as we hear from Dr. Leon Saltiel who will focus on the challenges of grappling with the past and with current antisemitism.

Campuses and communities alike have been roiled by intensified antisemitism in the wake of the Hamas assault. The worsening environment shows little evidence of disappearing. What are its roots and what can we do to combat it?

Join us online for a timely two-part program that brings together leading experts to examine the complex intersection of technologies, digital platforms, and antisemitism.

For the inaugural event in the Stanley D. Ginsburg USC Shoah Foundation Lecture Series, Mélanie Péron will explore the work of Hélène Berr, a volunteer at the Union Générale des Israélites de France (UGIF) who sheltered four Jewish children during the occupation of France.

The standard narrative of Jews as moneylenders in medieval Europe gained prominence in the 19th and 20th centuries and persists today. How did this myth emerge as a response to modern political antisemitism?

Join us on December 5 as Professor Julie Mell, author of The Myth of the Medieval Jewish Moneylender, challenges this narrative. She will explore its origins, revealing that it was not a reflection of social reality in medieval Europe but rather an outgrowth of Christian crusading and economic theology.

In 1994, the USC Shoah Foundation launched an unprecedented effort to record, preserve, and share the testimonies of Holocaust survivors. Over the past 30 years, we have built a world-class institute anchored in their voices. Today, as Holocaust memory fades and we confront new forces of hatred and antisemitism, the promise we made to survivors 30 years ago demands renewed action.

This event will bring together leading perspectives from researchers, academics and historical archival institutions to explore the pressing challenges and emerging opportunities for building, preserving, and providing access to archives.

Although antipathy toward Jews and Judaism became a hallmark of medieval Christianity, pinpointing the ancient origins of Christian Anti-Judaism poses challenges. Rabbi Joshua Garroway, PhD, examines the writings of Paul, Justin, Augustine, and other early Christian thinkers to trace the origins of Christian Anti-Judaism.

Warren Rosenblum, Professor of History at Webster University, St. Louis, will discuss his research on the history of disability during both the Weimar Republic and Third Reich. He will further explore how Nazi conspiratorial theories about antisemitism and persons with disabilities are linked through fear of the “other."
