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
