Please join us on December 4th for an evening with Dr. Pamela Nadell as we discuss her new book, Antisemitism: An American Tradition. Her latest work looks at the American legacy of antisemitism from the colonial period to today—and the uniquely American Jewish responses to prejudice and hate.
Two years ago, on October 7, 2023, the world watched in horror as Hamas carried out a deadly series of terror attacks across southern Israel. We were privileged to record the testimonies of more than 400 survivors of these attacks. Their experiences and the world’s responses to them demonstrated how antisemitism persists through the present day.
May these survivors and everyone impacted by such senseless violence know peace in our time.
USC Shoah Foundation mourns the loss of Holocaust survivor and beloved friend of the Institute Paula Lebovics. She was 92 years old.
Lebovics was one of the 12 children standing behind the barbed wire of Auschwitz in a famous photo taken by the Soviet Army after liberation. By this time in history, Lebovics had experienced a ghetto, concentration camp, death camp and the permanent separation of her family – and she was only 12 years old.
We remember Ben Lesser, Holocaust survivor and dedicated advocate for Holocaust remembrance.
Ben was born in Kraków, Poland, in 1928. Ben and his family were able to avoid the Krakow ghetto by moving to a nearby town, but were eventually forced into the Bochnia ghetto. In 1944, his family was separated and sent to Auschwitz. From there, Ben survived Dörnhau, Buchenwald, and Dachau concentration camps. He and his sister were the only members of his family of seven to survive.
