Never Again Education Act (H.R
April 8, 2019 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representative: We, the more than 300 undersigned organizations and institutions, representing millions of Americans from every state in the Union, support the Never Again Education Act (H.R. 943) and strongly encourage you to cosponsor the bill. This important bipartisan legislation uses public funding and private donations in a classic public-private partnership to provide teachers with the resources and training they need to teach children the important lessons of the Holocaust and the consequences of bigotry and hate. As organizations that support Holocaust education as a vital part of our children’s learning experience, we are proud to support this bill that ensures more middle schools and high schools will have the opportunity to educate their students about the Holocaust. We face a stark contrast today: As the number of living Holocaust survivors and eyewitnesses dwindles, Holocaust denial and ignorance are becoming much more prevalent. Now, it is more important than ever that survivor stories be told to audiences around the globe. Unfortunately, far too many students in the United States grow up without basic knowledge of the events of the Holocaust. A survey released in April 2018 by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany shows that Americans are forgetting about the Holocaust, or are completely unaware it occurred. For instance, 49 percent of millennials cannot name a single concentration camp. Thirty-one percent of Americans believe that two million or fewer Jews were killed in the Holocaust, even though six million Jews and millions of others perished. -

Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews, Volume 4, No.1, February
Association of Jewish Libraries REVIEWS February/March 2014 Volume IV, No. 1 In The Spotlight Gelfand, Shoshana Boyd. The Barefoot Book of Jewish Tales. Illus. by Amanda Hall. Cambridge, MA: Barefoot Books, 2013. 80 pp. $19.99. (9781846868849). Gr. 2–5. Angels in disguise, a riddle-solving queen, a generous lamed-vavnik, and a fowl-minded prince are just a few of the characters found in this delightful collection of Jewish folktales. While far less grim than many offerings in the folklore canon, the eight classic stories presented here, from “Challah in the Ark” to the oft-spun “The Prince Who Thought He Was a Rooster”, are filled with plenty of twists to grab young readers and keep them guessing until all loose ends are stitched and the final kernel of wisdom is unveiled. Gelfand shows a deft touch at keeping the stories well paced, consistently entertaining, and moralistic without being heavy handed. It is a book filled with miracles: an illiterate boy sends cut Hebrew letters aloft to form the prayers in his heart; a girl gives a weekly gift to God and thus sustains her family for thirty years. But for anyone who has ever read well-crafted folktales aloud to young children, the real miracle will come in the form of rapt expressions and lessons learned. The book touches on a number of themes, including the joy of sharing, embracing the uniqueness of others, expressing one’s love for God in different ways, and the rewards of kindness. Hall’s bright, fanciful, folk-style illustrations—a combination of watercolor ink, chalk pastel, colored pencil, and digital layering— nicely complement each story. -

Most studies of this ‘third generation’ are framed in the terms of purely constructivist theories of collective (Halbwachs [1925] 1992) or communicative and cultural memory (Assmann 1999) and thus cannot take account of present but unrecognized aspects of the past. -
American Jewish Philanthropy and the Shaping of Holocaust Survivor Narratives in Postwar America (1945 – 1953)
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “In a world still trembling”: American Jewish philanthropy and the shaping of Holocaust survivor narratives in postwar America (1945 – 1953) A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Rachel Beth Deblinger 2014 © Copyright by Rachel Beth Deblinger 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “In a world still trembling”: American Jewish philanthropy and the shaping of Holocaust survivor narratives in postwar America (1945 – 1953) by Rachel Beth Deblinger Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor David N. Myers, Chair The insistence that American Jews did not respond to the Holocaust has long defined the postwar period as one of silence and inaction. In fact, American Jewish communal organizations waged a robust response to the Holocaust that addressed the immediate needs of survivors in the aftermath of the war and collected, translated, and transmitted stories about the Holocaust and its survivors to American Jews. Fundraising materials that employed narratives about Jewish persecution under Nazism reached nearly every Jewish home in America and philanthropic programs aimed at aiding survivors in the postwar period engaged Jews across the politically, culturally, and socially diverse American Jewish landscape. This study examines the fundraising pamphlets, letters, posters, short films, campaign appeals, radio programs, pen-pal letters, and advertisements that make up the material record of this communal response to the Holocaust and, ii in so doing, examines how American Jews came to know stories about Holocaust survivors in the early postwar period. This kind of cultural history expands our understanding of how the Holocaust became part of an American Jewish discourse in the aftermath of the war by revealing that philanthropic efforts produced multiple survivor representations while defining American Jews as saviors of Jewish lives and a Jewish future.
