The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education Closing Honoring World War II Veterans We salute all those who served our country during World War II, an era that truly threatened our very existence as a nation—and as a culturally-diverse, free society. We are forever grateful for the sacrifices of this amazing generation. Among the heroes are those who came face to face with the horrors of the Holocaust. As World War II came to a close, soldiers in the American, Soviet, British, Canadian, and French armies came across concentration camps and the prisoners left inside. After the initial shock of what they saw, these soldiers provided food and health care for the survivors left inside the camps. Relationships between survivors and liberators would be built during liberation and would continue for years to come. Inside CHHE’s permanent exhibit, Mapping Our Tears, is a scrap of paper with the writing of Norbert Silberman. Norbert scratched his name and address onto a piece of paper and gave it to Leon Weisband, whom he liberated from Buchenwald, so that he might look him up someday. Leon carried that address for forty years until he gave it to his cousin from Cincinnati, Ray Warren. Ray was able to re-establish contact with the soldier who liberated Leon. This is just one story of thousands. CHHE is committed to preserving and sharing these stories for generations to come. Below are just a few of the World War II veterans who have impacted CHHE and our work: Elmer Reis (1917-2009): Reis was a fifth-generation Cincinnatian, graduating from Xavier University and the Salmon P. Chase College of Law. He enlisted in the US Army in 1941 at age 24 because he felt the Army was the best place to focus his energy. Reis served in the 4th Armored Division under General Patton. In 1945, Reis’ unit liberated North Stalag III, a concentration camp in Ohrdruf, Germany. After WWII, Reis remained in the US Army Reserve until 1973 while he worked for the Hamilton Country Sheriff’s Department. Milton Schloss (1913-2007): Schloss enlisted in the US Army in 1942 because he felt it was his duty to fight for the Jews of Europe, a commitment he learned from his family. Schloss served from 1944-1945 in the 4th Armored Division and liberated the Ohrdruf Concentration Camp. Understanding some German, Schloss listened to some of the prisoners tell their stories for the first time. After the war, Schloss acted as CEO of Kahn’s meat company until 1966, worked for University of Cincinnati Business College until 1987, and finally retired in 1991 after being the CEO of the John Morrell Company. Schloss was a strong advocate for the State of Israel, even calling himself the First Reform Jewish Zionist in Cincinnati. Saul Marmer (1924-2015): Marmer joined Army ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) and the Enlisted Reserve Corps while he was a student at University of Cincinnati. Marmer served as First Platoon Leader in the 78th Infantry Division from 1943-1946. After a battle with German soldiers, Saul witnessed atrocities at the Wupertal Concentration Camp before liberating a Russian POW Camp in 1945. After the war ended, Saul attended one of the first Yom Kippur services in Kassel, Germany, as well as the first public Chanukah lighting ceremony and Passover Seder in Berlin since 1932. Upon returning to Cincinnati, Saul became CEO of Marmer Shoes, and remained in the Army Reserves until 1950. Louis Weisser was born in 1923 in Podwoloczyska, couple married in Paris in 1949 before emigrating Poland. The town had a large Jewish community to America in 1953.

  • Jerry Springer Keynote Speaker Announcement
    ADVANTAGE’S 2018 CONFERENCE KEYNOTE SPEAKER IS… JERRY SPRINGER London, January 2018 – Advantage Travel Partnership, the UK’s largest independent travel agent consortium, unveils Jerry Springer as the keynote speaker for the 2018 conference, being held in Miami, between 10 and 13 May 2018. Throughout an illustrious career, Jerry Springer has become a cultural and civic icon. Springer’s notoriety is due in large to the hosting of his eponymous show, The Jerry Springer Show, for 27 seasons. Springer’s career also includes time as a lawyer, the mayor of Cincinnati, an award-winning newscaster, author, Broadway actor, executive producer, ballroom dancer, and much more. “We are utterly thrilled that Jerry Springer will be our keynote speaker at our 2018 conference in Miami. Our conference theme focuses on building a story and how to effectively communicate this narrative with audiences, and Jerry’s career and experience is a perfect example of how best to achieve this. His exuberant personality adds an exciting dimension to the conference and will give our members a new perspective;” commented Julia Lo Bue-Said, Managing Director, Advantage Travel Partnership. Born in London, Springer’s family immigrated to New York when he was five years old. It was during a dinner meeting with New York Senator, Robert Kennedy, in 1968 that changed Springer’s life. He signed on with the Kennedy campaign and shortly thereafter felt the horror of Kennedy’s assassination along with the rest of the world. It was this catalyst that sprung Springer into the political world, 1 spearheading the movement in Ohio to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 which led to the ratification of the 26th Amendment to the Constitution that lowered the voting age for all Americans.

  • Analyse the Extent to Which Controversial Theatre Can Be Accommodated on a West End Stage
    Analyse the Extent to Which Controversial Theatre can be Accommodated on a West End Stage. Olivia Rook Jane Milling asserts that London’s West End (WE) is familiar to tourist audiences for its ‘remarkably stable’ repertoire, consisting largely of ‘literary musical adaptations’, ‘musical adaptations of films’ and ‘compilation musicals of popular musical trends’.1 This suggests that the WE is almost entirely motivated by the commercial successes of the megamusical. Audiences have a ‘horizon of expectations’ when they visit a WE theatre, as they associate the area with a particular cultural experience.2 New work is measured against the audience’s expectations and ‘The closer it correlates with this horizon, the more likely it is to be low, pulp, or ‘culinary’ art’.3 This disparaging perspective is shared by many in the industry; indeed, Peter Brook argues that during the mid-twentieth century, shows had become ‘weak, watery, repetitive, drab and silly’.4 However, there have been challenges to these long-running musical productions, leading to the development of more innovative theatre. This essay will focus on the work of the Royal Court (RC), in particular, Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem, and the journey of Jerry Springer, The Opera from scratch theatre to the WE. Citing Frank Parkin’s model of ‘social democracies’, it will be explored how far and in what ways these examples of controversial theatre abide by the ‘dominant system’ established in the WE: of palatable, long-running musicals.5 By focusing on modes of controversy, the idea of celebrity, processes of production and critical response, this essay will determine whether Springer and Jerusalem abide by a ‘subordinate system’, and thus comprehend and comply with the dominant, or whether they are being ‘radical’ and oppose any sense of a normative status, deviating too far from audiences’ ‘horizon of expectations’.

  • Jerry Springer Talks About His First Job and Has Advice for Today's Teens
    Jerry Springer talks about his first job and has advice for today’s teens June 30, 2014 12:02 AM MST Jerry Springer In an exclusive interview with Renée Ward, popular TV talk show host, Jerry Springer shares with me what he did, what he learned, and offers advice for today’s teens seeking their first job. This is the first in a series of articles about the “first paying jobs” of successful people and their advice for today’s teens. Born in London in 1944, after his family fled the Holocaust, Springer immigrated at age 5 to New York City with his family. For Springer and his family, America represented a place where people could live without persecution. No doubt Springer’s upbringing and first job as a teen set the tone for his future success. Ward: What was your first paying job and how old were you? Springer: You’re asking about a long time ago like back in the 1950’s. I delivered newspapers, the Long Island Press on my bicycle. I had to get up at a ridiculously early hour, go to the printing press and load up my bike basket and off I went. It was the first job where I actually got paid. I was so excited about it but it was never fun when the alarm went off at about 4 o’clock in the morning before I had to go to school. I must have been about 13 or 14 years old. Yep, that’s what I did. Ward: How did you learn about this job? Springer: Through a friend.
