Ocean County College Hosts Holocaust Remembrance Week Events

TOMS RIVER – The Center for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education at Ocean County College will sponsor a week of special events from April 17 to April 20 in observance of Yom HaShoah and the Holocaust Days of Remembrance. All events will be held in the Technology Building (#25) Lecture Hall on the Ocean County College main campus in Toms River.

April 17

• Not Like Sheep to Slaughter: Jewish Resistance During the Holocaust (Dr. Ali Botein-Furrevig); 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. and 5 to 6:15 p.m. Despite starvation, dehumanization and the “Final Solution,” many Jews in the ghettos and camps throughout Europe participated in resistance efforts, be it spiritual and cultural, armed fighting, rescue activities, producing false documents, or joining partisan groups engaged in guerilla warfare and sabotage against the Germans.

April 18 • I Was a Hidden Child: The Maud Dahme Story; 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. Our guest speaker is New Jersey resident Maud Peper Dahme. As a 6-year-old child living in the Netherlands, she and her 4-year-old sister were hidden from the Nazis. Ms. Dahme will discuss her experiences as well as her book and film, “The Hidden Child.” Prayer service to follow.

• Their Fate Shall Be Our Fate: The Righteous Among Nations (Dr. Justin Pfeifer); 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Whether smuggling and hiding Jews, providing false documents, taking in Jewish children, there were non-Jews from all denominations and walks of life who stand in stark contrast to the indifference that prevailed at the time and who risked their lives to save Jews.

• Creativity as Witness and Resistance: Art and Poetry by the Children at Terezin Camp (Dr. Ali Botein-Furrevig); 2 to 3:15 p.m. Theresienstadt, or Terezin, established as a ghetto and transit camp in 1941, was built by the Nazis as a “model” Jewish settlement camp for propaganda purposes.
