SUMMARY:Literature and Justice: Language and the Fight Against Feminicides
DESCRIPTION:The UW-Milwaukee Department of History Welcomes Dr. Diana Aldrete\, Assistant Professor of Language and Culture Studies and Human Rights\, Trinity College for Literature and Justice: Language and the Fight Against Feminicides.\nThis talk explores how contemporary Mexican women writers transform literature into a space of ethical and political resistance amid feminicidal violence and systemic impunity. It examines how language itself becomes an instrument of justice—naming violence\, preserving memory\, and refusing erasure when institutions fail to protect or acknowledge victims. Engaging feminist\, decolonial\, and human rights frameworks\, the talk considers how writing practices grounded in care\, mourning\, and collective testimony redefine justice beyond the confines of law. Ultimately\, it argues for a defense of literature as integral to political and human rights work: not as a supplement to activism or legal reform\, but as a vital mode of articulating rights denied and envisioning forms of justice that legal and institutional systems have yet to realize. \nDate: November 07\, 2025\nTime: 12:00 pm\nLocation: Holton Hall 341 \nFree and open to the public\, also available by Zoom. Snacks will be provided.

SUMMARY:Ofer Ashkenazi\, “Navigating Profound Uncertainty: Jewish Photography in Nazi Germany”
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores how German Jews used private photography to record and interpret their lives under National Socialism. Drawing on a database of some 15\,000 images\, it examines how these photographs documented daily experiences and reflected Jewish responses to escalating antisemitic measures. The analysis treats photographs as narrative tools that conveyed emotions\, beliefs\, and expectations. This approach reveals new insights into German Jews’ self-perceptions and strategies for navigating a time of profound uncertainty.  \nOfer Ashkenazi is Professor of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and current George Mosse Visiting Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His research explores German-Jewish cultural history\, Jewish experience under Nazism\, migration and political activism\, and the memory of Nazi violence. His recent books include the monographs Still Lives: Jewish Photography in Nazi Germany (2025\, with Rebekka Grossmann\, Shira Miron\, and Sarah Wobick-Segev) and Anti-Heimat Cinema: The Jewish Invention of the German Landscape\, 1918–1968 (2020)\, as well as the edited volume Rethinking Jewish History and Memory through Photography (2025\, co-edited with Thomas Pegelow-Kaplan).  \nCosponsors: Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center and UWM’s Departments of Anthropology\, Art History\, Communication\, and History; and Programs in German; Journalism\, Advertising\, and Media Studies; and Digital Arts and Culture \nRegister for Zoom at https://bit.ly/4lX2yMe

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Lisa Silverman\, The Postwar Antisemite: Culture & Complicity After the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Lisa Silverman in Conversation with Alan Singer  \nDecades before the Nazi persecution of the Jews would emerge as a master moral paradigm of evil in popular culture\, the constructed Antisemite became part of a forceful narrative structure that allowed stereotypes about Jews to persist\, even as explicit antisemitism became taboo. In the recently released The Postwar Antisemite\, Lisa Silverman examines the crucial development and implications of the figural Antisemite in a range of events in Austria\, Germany\, and the United States including the trials of Nazi star director Veit Harlan for crimes against humanity\, the works of authors Anna Seghers and Rudolf Brunngraber\, and films including Gentleman’s Agreement. Join us at Boswell for an important conversation about this history and what it reveals about antisemitism. \nRegister for event: lisasilvermanmke.eventbrite.com \nLisa Silverman is Professor of History and Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She specializes in modern German and Austrian Jewish cultural history\, with a focus on gender\, visual culture\, and antisemitism. She is also author of Becoming Austrians: Jews and Culture between the World Wars (Oxford\, 2012) and co-author with Daniel H. Magilow of Holocaust Representations in History: an Introduction (Bloomsbury\, 2015; 2nd ed. 2019). \nAlan H. Singer is Associate Teaching Professor in UWM’s Honors College\, where he teaches courses on social\, intellectual\, and political history. His courses include: “The Oldest Hatred: The Jewish People as the Perpetual Other”\, “We\, Ourselves: Nations and Nationalisms in the Modern World”\, and “Transatlantic Revolutions: Resistance\, Rebellion and Social Conflict\, 1650-1800”.  His research focuses on how cultural representations of Jews were used in political and social conflict. \nIn partnership with Boswell Books. Cosponsored by UWM’s History Department and Honors College.
