ANNUAl HolOCAUST SURVIVOR lECTURE SERIES MONDAY & TUESDAY" MAY 24 & 25" 1999 FROST lOUNGE" Ell BUilDING HOLOCAUST AWARENESS: A Time To Bear Witness 1 999 Philip N. Backstrom, Jr This lecture series is named in honor of Philip N. Backstrom, Jr. who has long championed the rights of the underdogs. Professor Backstrom was an active participant in the early civil rights marches in 1961 and 1962. He was also involved in the anti-war movement here at Northeastern Unversity. His ongoing concern is that the past not be forgotten; of utmost importance - that human beings are to be valued. ' Because of his passionate concerns, Professor Backstrom began teaching courses on the Holocaust here at Northeastern University in the 1970's, was a founding member of the Holocaust Awareness Committee, and has been actively involved in the committee's work ever since. Professor Backstrom has taught in the department of History at Northeastern University for 38 years. He received his P.H.D. from Boston University in 1960. He is the author of "Christian Sodahsm and Co-OperaHon in VIdmian England; Edward Vansittart Neale and the Co-OperaHve Movement': He was also awarded a Research and Scholarship Development Grant in 1982 entitled "Ubermenschen ---. und untermenschen: A Study of Nazi Implementation of Social Darwinism and the Theory of Eugenics" What is One Generation After? In 1978 sons and daughters of Jewish survivors of the Holocaust created One Generation After. Their focus was and continues to be exploring the signifi• cance of the Holocaust for children of survivors and for the community-at• large. This Boston-based group has blossomed into an organization of 750 members who live primarily in New England, with membership accros the United States, in Canada, Europe, Israel, and Australia. Its membership now includes sons and daughters of survivors, survivors, and others committed to the commemoration, documentation, and greater understanding of the tragedy of the Holocaust.

Featuring intimate portraits of the Naz i hunters, the film also examines the nations and institutions that helped bring war criminals to justice or, in too many cases, helped them to escape. Jonathan Silvers, writer and director of Elusive Justice: The Search for Nazi War Criminals, is an Emmy Award-winning journalist and filmmaker specializing in international affairs and Professor Gerald Herman of the Northeastern History Department will introduce the film and lead a post-film discussion.

He and his parents went into hiding separately. Throughout the war, neither one knew whether the others had survived or not. At war's end they found each other and came to the USA in 1949. Jack will recount the impact of the Shoah on his family and himself, and what it means to be one of the few Jews to survive. A question and answer period will follow his talk. Jack attended college at the Pratt Institute and the Massachusetts College of Art, where he received a graduate degree in sculpture. He remains very active in the Boston area's Hidden Children's group, and has been a frequent speaker here at Northeastern.

Photo: Jennifer Chaney About Holocaust Awareness Week The Holocaust Awareness Committee at Northeastern University annually and publicly remembers the Holocaust, not only as historical fact and as a memorial to its millions of victims, but also as a warning. Programs will be presented bearing witness to the Holocaust events and exploring issues arising out of the War of Extermination against Jews and other groups targeted by the Nazis, as well as applying lessons learned from the Holocaust to contemporary issues. Holocaust Awareness Committee Members: Ann Grenell, Chair Sarina Chen Erika Koss Lori Lefkovitz Debra Mandel Peri Onipede Uta Poiger Nathaniel Rickels James Ross Susan Setta In Memoriam - Christina Braidotti, Northeastern PhD candidate in the Department of Sociology and a devoted member of the Holocaust Awareness Committee. Her nearly• completed dissertation focused on Argentinean Holocaust Survivors and the challenges they faced in the aftermath of the Shoah. About the Robert Salomon Morton Memorial Lecture Born in 1906 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Robert Solomon Morton was educated in the School of the Orthodox Synagogue, Kahal Adath Jeshurun. He was not only a witness to, but the personal target of, Nazi persecution in the years leading up to the Second World War. A particularly harrowing experience in 1934 convinced him that he had no choice but to apply for emigration to the United States - a process that took three years, but finally resulted in his coming to Boston. For many years he and his wife, Sophie, were caretakers and caterers of the Hillel Foundation at Harvard University. It was during his time at Hillel that a chance meeting at a barbershop brought Mr. Morton together with Bill Giessen, then a postdoctoral fellow at MIT who had grown up and was educated in Germany during and following the Nazi period. The long-time friendship and ongoing conversation that resulted from this meeting helped to foster a sense of discovery between the two men. The annual Morton Lecture has been created as a way of memorializing a personality that embodied a spirit of reconciliation and understanding. The Robert Salomon Morton Lecture is sponsored by the Gus tel Cormann Memorial Fund at Northeastern University. About the Northeastern Humanities Center Building on Northeastern University's tradition oflinking scholarship and society, the Northeastern Humanities Center was founded in 2008 to foster conversation and collaboration among politicians and writers, philosophers and scientists, historians and health-care providers, journalists and entrepreneurs, artists and lawyers, researchers and practitioners, and others. The Center seeks to bring together thinkers who can help define the critical questions that need addressing and also respond imaginatively to topical issues as they arise. Through working groups, forum discussions, symposia, seminars, workshops, informal dialogues, conferences, and joint projects, the Center will support a wide-ranging interdisciplinary exchange of ideas in an atmosphere of respect for different perspectives, experience, and expertise. Georges Van Den Abbeele Founding Dean, College of Social Sciences and Humanities Erika Koss Assistant Dean for Research and Program Development Allison Maria Rodriguez Administrative Assistant Nakeisha Cody Administrative Assistant Samantha Fodrowski Senior Writer and Communications Coordinator The Northeastern Humanities Center gratefully acknowledges the following Northeastern staff members for their special assistance in coordinating the breakfast and keynote lectures: Candice Springer, Suzanne Feeley, Jeremy Reger, Matt Campbell, and Brian Louitt.
