History Department Chair Matthew Lindaman and Rosine Tenenbaum, a retired Winona State professor of French and Spanish, came together to inform Winona State students and community members about the rise of Nazism in Europe during World War II and the similar signs and characteristics it shares with the Neo-Nazi movement in the United States. Lindaman and Tenenbaum conceptualized the lecture in the wake of the white supremacist protests and anti-fascism counter-protests in Charlottesville, Virginia on Aug. 12. Tenenbaum, a descendant of Holocaust victims and survivors, recalled watching coverage of the protests and being prompted to contact history professor Colette Hyman to speak on the horrors of Nazism. “I thought ‘Their parents, their grandparents died to fight against the Nazis and here they are parading with that swastika.’ That was beyond comprehension,” Tenenbaum said. “I want to tell Retired Professor Rosine Tenenbaum speaks to community members and WSU students on Nikko Aries Wednesday, Aug. 30 in Stark 103 auditorium about Nazism today and in the past. photographer people how the nation becomes ‘Nazified’ [and] [email protected] what the sources of that phenomenon are that a resurgence in France of national pride—‘Let’s Jews, including over 4,000 children, living in creates hatred and murder.” make France great again’—[and] the creation of Paris were rounded up and put in the Vélodrome As a historian, Lindaman said he ordinarily hyper-nationalistic organizations,” Tenenbaum d’Hiver—an indoor bicycling arena used in the enjoys the ability to use the past to connect with said. winter—without water, food or sanitary facilities the present, though not in the face of current In June 1940, while Germany was steadily for five days. demonstrations of white supremacist ideology. gaining power, French General Philippe Pètain This event is now known as the Rafle du Vel’ “We relish when our ideas become relevant in was appointed Chief of the French State, a new d’Hiv or the Vel’ d’Hiv Roundup. historical news.

Carey held an artist reception in the gallery last Wednesday to talk about the series that was conceptualized during his residency on Rabbit Island in Lake Superior. Lydia Hoelzlhammer, a senior graphic design major at Winona State, attended the reception with Carey on Wednesday, Aug. 30. “I love the way he takes inspiration from the natural world and puts it in his paintings,” Hoel- zlhammer said. By working in a studio, the artist has complete control over everything. Working in the field is the exact opposite. An artist has no control. “A huge component of what I do is working in the field.
