Over the period of his 26-year imprisonment on Robben Island and in the Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison\, Kathrada kept seven secret notebooks in which he recorded quotations that he admired from books and newspapers smuggled into prison. Notebook number three contained thirteen entries that Kathrada selected from Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl (1952)\, which was smuggled onto Robben Island\, and circulated among the prisoners there during the 1960s. This lecture traces the ways in which the Diary found its way into the “leadership” section on Robben Island\, where Nelson Mandela\, Govan Mbeki\, Ahmed Kathrada\, and other prominent opponents of apartheid were imprisoned. Using Kathrada’s insights about the Holocaust through a careful reading of the thirteen chosen extracts from the Diary\, in conjunction with Mandela and Mbeki’s post-apartheid testimonies of their reading of the Diary\, this lecture presents the significance of Anne Frank in the struggle against apartheid\, as well as during the transition from apartheid to democracy. \nDr. Roni Mikel Arieli is a cultural historian\, interested in the intersections between Holocaust memory\, contemporary Jewish history\, and human rights. She is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. \nAdmission is free\, but pre-registration is required.

Between 1939 and 1945\, Bill and his family lived on the run. Bill\, the eldest son of Sender and Sonia Orlinski\, was seven years old when German troops invaded Poland and occupied his hometown of Brok. The Jewish residents were forcibly marched to Ostrow Mazowiecki\, about 50 miles northwest of Warsaw. \nThe forced march\, although terrifying at the time\, may have saved the family’s lives. Once Bill and his family were in Soviet-controlled Poland\, they continued their eastward journey into the Soviet interior\, where they remained in relative safety for the rest of WWII. When Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941 the family “ran\,” recalls Bill. Although the family was together\, life was tremendously difficult\, suffering from hunger and malnutrition for the next several years. \nNEXTGen encourages guests to support their favorite local restaurant by ordering brunch and then joining us virtually via Zoom. Guests will receive a private Zoom link\, so advance registration is required. This virtual event is free for NEXTGen members.

Cole graduated from Georgetown with a major in Justice and Peace Studies and a passion for storytelling. \nDuring his time at Georgetown\, Cole was inspired to begin penning his first book\, Greyboy: Finding Blackness in a White World. \nGreyboy is a collection of introspective essays that follows the journey of Black identity when subsumed in an environment of white privilege. \nThanks to the generosity of H‐E‐B\, this event is available at no cost to attendees\, but registration is required.

Our final event highlighting Indigenous narratives features a virtual screening of “The Condor & The Eagle” by filmmakers\, Sophie and Clément Guerra. \nFilm Synopsis:This unique award-winning documentary film of global reach brings to light the interconnected nature of social issues such as gender\, race\, class and the environment. “The Condor & The Eagle” helps us understand how social\, environmental and political identities combine to create specific modes of discrimination and privilege. \nIndigenous communities are Earth global environmental leaders. Statistics show that Indigenous peoples represent only 4% of the world’s population\, live on 22% of the earth’s surface\, holding 80% of the remaining biodiversity. \n“The Condor & The Eagle” is deeply empowering: the story starts small with local impacted marginalized individuals who decide to no longer accept to be the victims of an unjust system. Overcoming the feeling of isolation\, they manage to grow regional support networks\, progressively gaining national visibility. Eventually\, they rise as international leaders taking the fight from the streets to the courts (Tribunals\, Consultations and Reforms) and inspire others to help change our system’s architecture. \nThis film will be screened in English with Spanish subtitles. Admission is free and open to the public. Donations are welcomed. Advanced registration is required to receive the private Zoom link. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/virtual-film-screening-the-condor-the-eagle/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:FILM SCREENING END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
