Holocaust Denial: History on Trial CLE for Attorneys (1 substantive)

Deborah Lipstadt is the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies at Emory University and one of the nation’s foremost experts on Holocaust denial and modern anti-Semitism. She earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in Jewish History at Brandeis University. Professor Lipstadt’s 2005 book, History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving, is the story of her libel trial in London against Irving, who sued her for calling him a Holocaust denier and right wing extremist in her 1993 book, Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory. This 6-year legal battle is now the subject of a major motion picture, DENIAL, starring Rachel Weisz as Dr. Lipstadt.

SEMINAR OPTIONS

1. Using Primary Documents in the Classroom Josey G. Fisher, MSW, MAJS Director, Holocaust Oral History Archive Teachers will learn how to critically evaluate primary documents from the Nazi Era, such as official orders, photographs, and diaries, and apply these techniques in the classroom.

2. *Surviving the Lost Transport* Erica Herz Van Adelsberg, Survivor Author of Feeling Great and Grateful Erica Herz Van Adelsberg was part of the “Lost Transport.” After suffering through Westerbork and Bergen-Belsen, she was forced on a long march to board a cattle car to destinations unknown. Erica will share her story, what we can learn from it, and how it applies today.

3. *Follow My Footprints* Rachael Cerrotti, Photographer and Writer Follow My Footprints is the story of a young girl’s escape from war and her granddaughter’s journey to retrace her path of displacement 75 years later. The story examines the connection between past and present, how strangers can save lives, and ultimately what it means to be home.

4. * Holocaust Denial* (high school students only)

5. The Lutheran Church and the Holocaust Ruth Sandberg, PhD, Director, Jewish-Christian Studies We will discuss the significant role of the Lutheran Church during the Holocaust as the largest Protestant denomination in Germany at the time. We will also see how Martin Luther’s teachings shaped negative attitudes towards Jews, and how the Lutheran Church today has dealt with this legacy.

6. The Balkans Genocide of the 1990s Mike Dickerman, MAHGS, MAJS, Adjunct Professor The 1990s in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo were beset with genocide, mass killing, ethnic cleansing, rape as a weapon of war, and the displacement of millions of refugees. How do we unravel the horror that involved multiple perpetrators and victims, three major religions, and nationalism run amuck?

7. R  eturning Home: Survivor Testimonies from Poland and Israel Monika Rice, PhD, Adjunct Professor How were Polish Holocaust survivors received by their neighbors when they returned home after the war? Did memories of such first encounters change over time, in different circumstances? This seminar will compare testimonies gathered in immediate postwar Poland and circa twenty years later in Israel.

Rabbi Erin Hirsh, Director, Gratz Advance Dina Maiben, MAJS, Assistant Director, Gratz Advance

8. If it Please the Court CLE for Attorneys (1 substantive)

A facilitated discussion for high school students on Holocaust Denial as a follow-up to the keynote lecture.

Professor Lipstadt will discuss the specific legal hurdles and victories of the trial where she confronted Holocaust Denial in court and won. She will include how preparing a case in England is different than the U.S.

Deborah Lipstadt, PhD, Professor, Emory University

This program is made possible by the financial support of the Arnold and Esther Tuzman Holocaust Education Fund.

After imprisonment in a Siberian labor camp, Arnold served in the Polish-Russian army. Still in uniform after V-day, Arnold gave a ride to a beautiful young woman named Esther. They married in 1946 and immigrated to the US in 1947. The Tuzman family is proud to support The Arnold and Esther Tuzman Holocaust Education Fund.

Michael Steinlauf, Ph.D., Director, Holocaust and Genocide Studies

Dr. Shipley and accompanists will perform music by composers who were directly affected by the Holocaust and speak about their work, their lives, and their fate at the end of the war.

B. Giving Voice Ani Tuzman, Author and Writing Mentor This session is designed to inspire participants— second and third generation children of survivors, and others—in ways to give voice to that which may seem unspeakable. Bring a notebook and pen. anituzman.com

C. The Native American Genocides Jeff Benvenuto, M.A., Adjunct Professor This session will introduce how the term genocide may be used to explain what used to be called the “Indian problem” in the United States and Canada and examine how this genocide has impacted our country’s history.

How have Poles — some of whom helped save Jews, some of whom helped murder them, all of whom witnessed the entire course of Nazi mass murder — dealt with the memories of what they saw and did?

E. Surviving Darfur Hawa Abdallah Mohammed Salih, Darfuri Genocide Survivor Hawa will share her experiences from the destruction of her village in Darfur and the traumatic loss of many family members to receiving an International Women of Courage award from the U.S. Department of State presented by Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton. While living as a refugee in a displaced person’s camp for 9 years, Hawa was an activist spreading awareness about camp conditions and human rights violations. She represented women and children who constantly faced sexual violence, many other abuses, and death. For her efforts, Hawa was arrested, tortured, humiliated and sentenced to death herself. Come hear her riveting story of survival.
