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:Doris Bergen Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Wednesday\, October 22\, 2025 as Doris Bergen\, Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Professor of Holocaust Studies at the University of Toronto\, presents “We have been lied to”: How Antisemitism\, Anti-Black Racism\, and Misogyny are Linked. \nWhat is the relationship between anti-Black racism\, antisemitism\, sexism\, and Naziism? Why did the white supremacists who marched at Charlottesville in 2017 to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee carry swastika flags and shout\, “Jews will not replace us?” Why did the number of lynchings in the United States spike in 1933\, the year Hitler came to power in Germany? Howard University professor Kelly Miller noted a “striking analogy” between “race prejudice” against Blacks in America and Jews in Germany\, and other African American and Caribbean observers at the time expressed similar views. Why have their insights been largely forgotten? This talk addresses such questions by looking back at the history of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust and analyzing connections to our own times.
