STAJE Seminar: Archaeology of the Holocaust, Museum of Jewish Heritage, NYC

STAJE Seminar for teachers in Jewish schools February 26, 2012, 12:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust invites Jewish school educators of all grades and subjects to our upcoming STAJE (Shoah Teaching Alternatives in Jewish Education) Seminar, Archaeology of the Holocaust on Sunday, February 26, 2012 from 12:30 p.m.to 5:15 p.m.  When the Nazis occupied Europe they murdered Jews and destroyed Jewish institutions. Decades later, there are few people left who can testify about these crimes. In order to have a fuller understanding of the Holocaust, we must bring other disciplines to bear and, among these, archaeology is becoming increasingly important. In this seminar, we will examine several cases in which archaeology has been used to develop a more profound understanding of an aspect of the Holocaust. Tomek Kuncewicz, director of the Auschwitz Jewish Center, will discuss the excavation of the site of the Great Synagogue in Oswiecim. Dr. Martin Dean, from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, will examine the forensic archaeology done in Ukraine by Father Patrick DesBois and others. Dr. Michael Berenbaum, of the American Jewish University, will explore the controversy about building a memorial at the site of the Belzec death camp. Finally, Dr. Richard Freund of the University of Hartford will present the work done to uncover the history of the Sobibor extermination camp, which was the site of a successful uprising in 1943. The program is free of charge, however space is limited and pre-registration is required. To pre-register or for more information, please contact Dr. Paul Radensky at pradensky@mjhnyc.org or call (646) 437-4310. A light lunch for teachers will be available at 12:00 noon (dietary laws observed). Public transportation or parking for teachers will be reimbursed up to $17 per person or vehicle upon presentation of original receipt. The STAJE Seminars are made possible by The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany: The Rabbi Israel Miller Fund for Shoah Research, Documentation and Education.
