How could the Nazis have systematically murdered six million Jews, and how could the world have stood passive as it happened?

These momentous questions are neither rhetorical nor unanswerable to Jan Karski, a Polish Catholic diplomat who brought eye-witness reports of Nazi atrocities to Western leaders as early as 1942, and who is the subject of a new film, Remember This

Genocidio y comunidades sobrevivientes: agencia, resistencia, reconocimiento

23-26 de junio de 2024
University of Southern California Los Ángeles

En el territorio ancestral y no cedido de las naciones de Tongva y Kizh

Middle and high school students around the world are exploring the themes of resistance, solidarity and resilience using an innovative new film-based curriculum produced by the USC Shoah Foundation and The Ghetto Fighters’ House Museum in Israel, one of the first Holocaust museums in the world. 

USC Shoah Foundation – The Institute for Visual History and Education is pleased to invite applications from scholars of all levels for its Non-residential Scholar Program. The Program is intended to enable full access to the USC Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive (VHA) to support scholarly research with survivor testimonies housed in the archive.

Join us for the inaugural lecture in the USC Shoah Foundation’s Antisemitism Lecture Series by Dr. Dov Waxman, who will present on why we argue about antisemitism today.
In her presentation Estelle Tarica will discuss her recent book about how Holocaust memory and history circulate in Latin America and shape the ways Jews and non-Jews understand the state violence they experienced during the Cold War period.

 

Join leading experts, prominent scholars, and international diplomats to examine how existing legal mechanisms, international policies, and cooperation can be strengthened and expanded to meet the fundamental challenges of our time.

Following the devastation of the Holocaust and World War II, global leaders united to establish an ambitious new framework that prioritized human rights and the rule of law, and aimed to prevent systemic antisemitism and unchecked aggression.
