Holocaust Memory (In Person & Online) The Impetus to Remember: Holocaust Memorials Erected by Jewish Burial Societies Event CoSponsored by HHREC

At the end of WWII, Jewish burial societies (landsmanshaften) often created memorials in cemeteries to honor the memories of their families and towns destroyed during the Holocaust. Join us for a conversation about the history of the landsmanshaften, as well as an exploration of how burial societies at the Mount Hebron Cemetery in New York City became the only remaining pieces left of these original communities. The event features Susannah Trubman, Learning and Media Center Educator at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research; Adam Ginsberg, President of the Cedar Grove Cemetery Association; and Deirdre Poulos, Director of the Mount Hebron Legacy Foundation. The event is organized by the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and is co-sponsored by the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center in White Plains; the Legacy Foundation at Mount Hebron Cemetery; the Center for Genocide and Human Rights Research in Africa and the Diaspora at Northeastern Illinois University; the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights at Rutgers University; the Holocaust, Genocide & Interfaith Education Center at Manhattan University; the Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at Western Washington University; the Reiff Center for Human Rights & Conflict Resolution at Christopher Newport University; the Holocaust Resource & Education Center of Kean University; and the Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention at Binghamton University.
