To those of us who spend a great deal of time dealing with the rewards and challenges of Holocaust education, thephrases “Never Again” and “Don’t Be a Bystander” are frequently heard, and used, as we confront not only the horrorsof seventy years ago but the reality of ongoing genocides.

Additionally, new information and research are constantly coming to light. For example, last year the HMLC hosted alecture on the excavation of the death camps at Sobibor and the museum is currently installing updated, morenuanced information about the Holocaust in Italy.

I confronted stark visual reminders of both history, and history’s unlearned lessons, on a recent trip to Italy andCroatia. In Trieste, Italy I visited a former rice husking factory, the Risiera Di San Sabba, an important if largelyunknown internment and transit camp taken over by the Germans in 1943. While primarily used to transfer partisans,political prisoners and Jews to Auschwitz, many people were murdered there and cremated in an oven that had beenconverted from its prior use, drying rice husks. Part of the memorial created was an outline in the courtyard of thatoven and an obelisk built to resemble a smokestack on the exact spot where the crematorium originally stood.

A few days later, I was in Sarajevo, site of the horrific three-year siege in the early 1990’s by the Bosnian Serbs againstthe Bosniacs, an effort precipitated by deep-seated ethnic hatred. In addition to the many buildings still exhibitingevidence of the extensive mortar shelling and sniper fire, there were grimreminders of the horror of the war on streets and sidewalks and inmarkets all over the city represented by random splotches of red paintmarking the locations where residents of Sarajevo were killed by shellingor sniper fire as they tried to live out their daily lives … grim reminders ofthe horrors of ethnic conflict and genocide. And, of course, we were toldof the massacre of 6,000 men and boys in Srebrenica in 1995. Tragically,nearly a quarter million people died in the savage ethnic fighting in the1990’s while the international community remained largely indifferent.Until today, many of the perpetrators have not been brought to justice.

“Never Again.” “Don’t Be a Bystander.” Phrases so terribly importantand so easily forgotten.

Finally, in 2015, HMLC will officially be commemorating its 20th Anniversarywith a dinner at the St. Louis Ritz-Carlton on Sunday, August 9. This will bea special time to REMEMBER and HONOR the work we’ve done togetherwith the survivors, educating students and visitors about the lessonslearned from the Holocaust, with a vision of creating a world where hatredand indifference are transformed into understanding and compassion andall people are treated with dignity and respect.

Sincerely,

Kent HirschfelderChair, Holocaust Museum & Learning Center

Letter to the Editor Below is an excerpt from a letter that was written in response to a blog posted last August by Debbie Schlussel.Replying to her commentary gave me an opportunity to not only correct some historical inaccuracies in herwriting, but to address an ongoing and complex debate regarding who does, and does not, deserve the status ofbeing called a “Survivor.” In addition, I was (hopefully) able to promote civil discourse and the exchange ofdiffering views in a respectful manner – as is appropriate for the HMLC’s environment. – by Dan Reich, HMLCCurator and Director of Education

September 3, 2014

Since last Friday, I have received close to a dozen emails with a vicious attachment-- anAugust 20th blog regarding a “fake Holocaust survivor” arrested while marching with“rioting protestors” in Ferguson. As several of them came from the St. Louis region, I havechosen to clarify and correct some issues within the vicious personal screed written byDebbie Schlussel, through our local Jewish press.

The question of who is, or isn’t, an authentic “Holocaust survivor” is complex. We at the St.Louis Holocaust Museum and Learning Center define a survivor as someone who lived andsuffered under Nazi occupation. This definition was informed by the official terminologyused by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, in Washington, DC: “… any person,

Jewish or non-Jewish, who was displaced, persecuted, or discriminated against due to racial, religious,ethnic, social and political policies of the Nazis and their collaborators between 1933 and 1945. In additionto former inmates of concentration camps, ghettos and prisons, this definition includes, among others,people who were refugees or were in hiding.” Likewise, Yad Vashem, the national Holocaust memorial inJerusalem, defines survivors, as “Jews who lived for any amount of time under Nazi domination, direct orindirect, and survived.” Clearly, those rescued through kindertransports meet the above criteria.

By creating her own personal designation of who is a survivor, Ms. Schlussel dishonors and discreditsthousands of other individuals who were torn away from their families, suffered displacement andsometimes abuse and neglect in their new, unfamiliar surroundings. Most never saw their parents again, aswas the case for the target of her vitriol, who lost both parents, and other family members in Auschwitz. Tolearn more about this subject, I highly recommend the film, Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories From theKindertransport. Should we assume that the writer would similarly delegitimize Jews who survived in hidingor with hidden identity, at constant risk of betrayal or exposure? They too “never saw the insides (sic) of aconcentration camp,” Ms. Schlussel’s narrow criterion.

Ms. Schlussel was so intent on hurling vulgar insults that factual information was lost to her childish name-calling. For example, in addition to incorrectly identifying the location of the subject’s arrest, (downtown St.Louis, not Ferguson) she repeatedly refers to Jews “gassed in ovens” or “cooking in ovens,” no doubt fordramatic effect. One would expect a grandchild of a survivor, or a responsible journalist, to know that ovenswere not used for gassing victims, but for burning corpses. Ms. Schlussel obliquely questions the subject’sJudaism – numerous vile comments to her piece definitely do. This survivor, born of a Jewish mother, would meet the highest Halachic standards for being a part of the Jewish people – regardless of her political views and activism.

The author’s hysterical, hyperbolic style and numerous inaccuracies distract the reader from the issues andpolitical activism that the writer has every right to disagree with, or abhor. Instead, Ms. Schlussel misdirects the conversation through her shameful lack of civility.

Save the DateSunday, August 9, 2015 HMLC will recognize its 20th Anniversary with a dinner event at The Ritz-Carlton andwe are happy to announce that Ladue News has agreed to be our exclusive mediasponsor. Our dinner theme will revolve around the words REMEMBER. HONOR.ACT. – MAKE A DIFFERENCE. These words embody the sentiment that we try toimpart each and every day through our programs, lectures and collaborations.

Holocaust inSalonika A near-capacity crowd gathered in the HMLCtheatre on Sunday afternoon, September 21, to hearDr. Devin Naar discuss the “Holocaust in Salonika.”Once the largest and most vibrant community inEurope, the Jews of Salonika, a major port city innorthern Greece, suffered one of the highestmortality rates of any Jewish population during theHolocaust. Dr. Naar drew on ten years of archivalresearch in Judeo-Spanish (Ladino), Greek, Hebrew,French and German, as well as his own familyhistory in his presentation of the little known historyof the destruction of this Jewish community, onceknown as the “Jerusalem of the Balkans.”

Dan Reich, HMLC Curator and Director of Education, commented that even after seventy years, new research iscoming out and adding to our knowledge of the Holocaust. “This is especially true about the effect of the Shoah onJewish communities in Sephardic countries, such as Greece, North Africa and Italy. Dr. Naar’s research and insightstruly shed light on this important aspect of Holocaust history.”

Dr. Devin Naar, an alumnus of Washington University in St. Louis, is currently the Marsha and Jay Glazer AssistantProfessor in Jewish Studies and Assistant Professor of History at the University of Washington, Seattle. This programwas sponsored by the Rubin* and Gloria Feldman Family Education Institute of the Holocaust Museum and Learning Center.

HMLC Hosts lecture on “The Holocaust, TheVatican and The Jews” On Tuesday, October 28, a capacity audience heard Dr. Susan Zuccotti discuss the complex subject of the responseof the Catholic Church, and Pope Pius XII in particular, during the Holocaust. Zuccotti’s extremely nuancedpresentation suggested that the controversies swirling around this situation had no clearly distinct answers. Carefulexamination of the Pope’s “silence” reveals that significant ambiguities exist. Zuccotti maintains that while both PiusXI and Pius XII could have taken stronger stands and intervened on behalf of the Jews of Italy, many priests, nunsand other Catholics acted on their own to rescue Jews by hiding individuals in convents, monasteries or other

shelters. A lively question and answer period revealed justhow complex and open to interpretation this subjectremains.

Dr. Zuccotti’s decades-long research in the area of theHolocaust in Italy and the role of the Vatican during thisperiod has produced numerous publications, including TheItalians and the Holocaust: Persecution, Rescue, and Survival(1987), and Under His Very Windows: The Vatican and theHolocaust in Italy, (2000), both of which have receivedcritical acclaim.

This program was generously sponsored by Dr. Arthur Galeand his family, in loving memory of Marilyn Gale. In briefintroductory remarks, Dr. Gale noted that the horrors of theHolocaust must be studied in the hopes that some atrocitieswill never happen again.Elizabeth Sharzer, Ellen Gale, Dr. Susan Zucotti,

A Thank You from Jonathan Samuels This past summer, I embarked on an incredible trip with Ramah to Poland. I wasslightly nervous at first because of the gravity of the trip; it seemed like it wouldjust be a whole lot of crying. We spent 10 days traveling the country visitingvarious cities, camps, cemeteries, and mass graves. It was a very strange feelingbeing there. I couldn’t even come close to imagining what it was like to actuallybe there during the Holocaust, nor did I want to. But the weirdest part was that Iwas completely emotionless the majority of the time. I expected to experiencesadness and even anger, but all there was, was numbness. Nonetheless, I learneda ton about what Jewish life was like in Poland before the Nazis destroyed theirbliss, as well as their subsequent murders.

Not all of Poland was sad and numbing though. There were many times wewent to old synagogues and sang and danced in them. It was so cool, as mytour guide said, “To bring Jewish life back where it once thrived.” My favoritepart of the whole trip was doing Havdalah in the old Jewish square in Krakow.All 120 of us gathered in a circle and started to sing the prayers and many Polesand tourists stopped and watched us. Some even videotaped us. One old ladyjoined our circle and sang along. It was one of the most amazing experiences ofmy entire life. The happy part of Poland made me enjoy it a little more than Iexpected and allowed me to leave Poland happy about our survival from the Holocaust rather than sad about ourdestruction.

I decided to go on this trip mainly because my grandfather was a survivor of the Holocaust. He grew up in Speyer,Germany, and when he was six years old he moved to the United States to escape the Nazis before things got bad. Iwanted to know what people his age had gone through and what he may have experienced had he not been ableto leave.

I am very grateful that the Holocaust Museum of St. Louis could give me a generous scholarship for my journeythrough Poland. It truly was a life-changing experience and it is something I will never forget. Without their help, mytrip would not have been possible and I would not have been able to learn all of the invaluable lessons I did. Thank you.
