Úryvek ze svědectví Marie Hořákové popisuje situaci v této nemocnici pohledem jedné ze zdravotních sester, ženy, kterou chránilo manželství s takzvaně „árijským“ mužem. Perzekuce těchto mužů, odmítajících rozvod s manželkami, jež byly rasistickými zákony označeny za židovky, je specificky protektorátní kapitolou historie holocaustu. Pouze u nás byli za odmítání rozvodu vězněni, internováni a deportováni do koncentračních táborů.

Pomoc, kterou deportovaným poskytovali příbuzní chránění sňatkem s „árijcem“ je historiky často přehlížena. Vinohradský příběh Věry Saudkové je unikátnější tím, že deportovanými příbuznými byly v jejím případě sestry Franze Kafky, dnes celosvětově slavného spisovatele a pražské intelektuální a turistické ikony. Gabriela (Elli), Valerie (Valli) a Otylie (Ottla) Kafkovy se konce války nedožily.

March 25, 2015 at 6:00 pmJoyce J. Cammilleri HallIn Nazi concentration camps, the Gulag, and Japanese war camps, deportees wrote cooking recipes. Hundreds of those recipes were copied in small notebooks by starving human beings of all origins - women, men, young, old, French, Russian, American - who took huge risks to write and keep them. Telling about these objects of survival, Imaginary Feasts explores a phenomenon of incredible resistance. Until now, no study or publication has ever been made on these objects.

Dr. Gardner and Dr. Immordino-Yang will engage in conversation about the art and science of teaching and learning in the 21st century. In an age where information is distributed and consumed widely, the need to develop critical thinkers who behave responsibly in global society grows. In this landscape, empathy becomes an important learning skill, and scientific research holds the potential to inform the ways in which empathy undergirds ethics. In this landscape, how should scientific researchers translate their work for teachers and learners?
