Bergen Union Debate: “Peace with Honor or Dishonorable Peace?”

March 8 from 11am-12:30pm in room C313

The year 2023 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Paris Peace Accords that ended the Vietnam War. Two years thereafter in 1975, Saigon fell and the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) ceased to exist. Bergen historians Professors Keith Chu and Kil J. Yi will debate whether the Paris Peace Accords achieved a peaceful conclusion to America’s longest war or disguised a colossal failure. Prof. Chu will argue for the “Dishonorable” thesis and Prof. Yi will support the “Honorable” notion. Dr. Peter Dlugos of the Philosophy and Religion Department will serve as the moderator.

Click Here to watch the film trailer

Click Here to stream the full documentary film anytime between October 26 and November 8.  The full film is 74 minutes long.

Reckonings was an official selection at the United Nations Association Film Festival in 2022 and is directed by award winning documentarian Roberta Grossman

It is the perfect film for any course or individual that wants to examine the topics of diplomacy, international law, US and World History, Reparations and Restorative Justice models, Holocaust and Jewish history, and questions of reconciliation.

In the aftermath of the Holocaust, German and Jewish leaders met in secret to negotiate the unthinkable – compensation for the survivors of the largest mass genocide in history. Survivors were in urgent need of help, but how could reparations be determined for the unprecedented destruction and suffering of a people? Directed by award-winning filmmaker Roberta Grossman, RECKONINGS is the first documentary feature to chronicle the harrowing process of negotiating German reparations for the Jewish people, which resulted in the groundbreaking Luxembourg Agreements of 1952. Filmed in six countries and featuring new interviews with Holocaust survivors, world-renowned scholars and dignitaries and the last surviving member of the negotiating delegations, the film powerfully models how political will and a moral imperative can join forces to bridge an impossible divide. By confronting the past, the German and Jewish leaders charted a better future for a desperate and traumatized people. Their actions led to the first time in history that individual victims of persecution received material compensation from the perpetrators.

 

Maud Dahme: A Hidden Child of the Holocaust shares her story

November 3 11:00 a.m.-12:15 p.m. in room S-138
An event to commemorate Kristallnacht

Maud Dahme, one of the hidden children of the Holocaust, will come to Bergen to share her story in person with our college community.

An estimated 1.5 million Jewish children were killed in the Holocaust. Only about 10% of the Jewish children in Europe survived the Nazi persecution. Many of these were “hidden children” who were kept hidden, often in non-Jewish homes. Maud Dahme was born in Amersfoort, Holland in 1936. In 1942, the Germans sent letters to all the Jewish families ordering deportation. Maud’s parents asked one of their Christian friends in the anti-Nazi Resistance to hide Maud and her sister Rita. After Liberation of Europe in 1945, Maud and her sister were reunited with their parents but their extended family had all died at the concentration camp Sobibor. Maud has shared her story of survival and the family who kept her hidden in a PBS documentary and at the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC and through her book, “Chocolate, the Taste of Freedom”.

In November 1940, days after the Nazis sealed 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars and community leaders decided to fight back. Led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum and known by the code name Oyneg Shabes, this clandestine group of journalists, scholars, and community leaders in the Warsaw Ghetto vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists, but with pen and paper. Now, for the first time, their story is told in the documentary featuring the voices of three-time Academy Award® nominee Joan Allen and Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody. Written, produced, and directed by Roberta Grossman and executive produced by Nancy Spielberg, WHO WILL WRITE OUR HISTORY mixes the writings of the Oyneg Shabes archive with new interviews, rarely seen footage and stunning dramatizations to transport us inside the Ghetto and the lives of these courageous resistance fighters. They defied their murderous enemy with the ultimate weapon – the truth – and risked everything so that their archive would survive the war, even if they did not.

Holocaust Survivor, Fran Malkin, Speaks (flyer) – virtually via Webex – Thursday 11/04/21  @11am  – 12 pm

Fran Malkin was born in Sokal, Poland in 1938.  In 1939, Russia occupied her town. Under Communist rule, her family’s properties were taken away and strangers occupied their home. In spring 1941, Germany invaded and occupied Sokal. They ordered all Jewish men between the ages of 16-60 to report to the town square. 400 Jewish men, including her father, were taken to a brick factory and shot. Fran was two years old.

The family was later forced into the ghetto. In the fall of 1942, the family went into hiding. They were among sixteen people who were hidden for two years in the hayloft of a barn by Francisca Halamajowa, 13 in the hayloft over the pigsty and 3 in a hole under her kitchen.  Watch Amazon movie trailor

Tuesday April 13, 2021 @11:30 -1:00pm   Register for webex JOIN link
Bronia Brandman was born into a family of six children in Jaworzno, Poland.  She was just eight years old when WWII broke out. She and her family were confined in ghettos, enslaved in labor camps, deported, and murdered. Ms. Brandman narrowly escaped the gas chambers at Auschwitz by running away from her assigned line and joining her older sister in another line. Her sister soon developed typhus, and the Nazis sent her to the gas chambers. Her parents and a brother were also deported to Auschwitz, never to be heard from again. Bronia remained at Auschwitz until January 1945, when she was forced on a death march. Though sick and delirious with fever, Ms. Brandman survived until liberation in May 1945.
