Beyond the Umschlagplatz: Remembering the Warsaw Ghetto

Presented by Holocaust Documentation and Education Center at Online/Virtual Space

The Holocaust Documentation & Education Center, Inc. is pleased to share the Beyond the Umschlagplatz: Remembering the Warsaw Ghetto online program from The Ghetto Fighters' House Museum

In the fourth and final program in the series Grossaktion Warsaw: 80 Years Later, we will examine the ways in which the Warsaw ghetto is remembered and commemorated. Prof. Liat Steir-Livny, an expert on Holocaust commemoration, will moderate a discussion with a panel of speakers who are the agents of memory today. Dr. Maria Ferenc researches the real-time information, such as rumours and false news, disseminated in the Warsaw ghetto and its surroundings and how they affect what Jews in the ghetto know about the Holocaust as it was happening. Dr. Slawomir Grunberg and Eric Bednarski have directed prize winning documentary films based on authentic documents, real-time film and testimonies of survivors in order to create a tangible commemoration of Jewish Warsaw and the Warsaw ghetto. Together, they will discuss how they are using authentic material in order to remember a community that is almost non-existent 80 years later. As part of this event, we will be screening before the program three films that deal with the Warsaw ghetto and were directed by Grunberg (Jan Karski and the Lords of Humanity) and Bednarski (Warsaw: A City Divided).
