SUMMARY:Between Academic Life and Family Survival: Jewish Refugee Scholars at Fisk University During the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Join historians Dr. Laura Auketayeva and Dr. LaNitra Berger of George Mason University for a presentation based on a chapter from their forthcoming book\, Hired to Safety\, to be published by Wayne State University Press. \n\n\n\nDrawing on original archival research at Fisk University and the Leo Baeck Institute\, this program tells the story of Werner Cahnman\, a Jewish refugee scholar who escaped Nazi Germany and joined Fisk University’s faculty during the Holocaust. As he taught sociology\, geography\, and race relations\, Cahnman waged a tireless campaign to rescue his parents\, brother\, and other relatives trapped in Nazi-occupied Europe. His deeply personal letters reveal the emotional toll of balancing academic life with desperate efforts to save loved ones from thousands of miles away\, many of which ended in tragedy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Photograph of Werner and Gisella Cahnman\, Werner and Gisella Cahnman Collection\, AR 25210\, F 001 AR 25210\, Leo Baeck Institute. \n\n\n\nRSVP here.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe presentation also explores Fisk University’s response to Nazi persecution\, its leadership in the study of race relations\, and the relationships that developed between Jewish refugee scholars and Black students and faculty during World War II. Through previously unpublished letters\, student newspapers\, and university records\, attendees will discover an overlooked chapter of Holocaust history that highlights resilience\, education\, and the enduring connections between Black and Jewish communities. \n\n\n\nFree and Open to the public.

SUMMARY:From Swastika to Jim Crow: The German Jewish Refugee Scholars Hired at HBCUs 
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sandra Bornstein Holocaust Education Center for a screening of From Swastika to Jim Crow\, followed by a live virtual conversation with the film’s directors\, Joel Sucher and Steven Fischler. \n\n\n\nFrom Swastika to Jim Crow tells the remarkable story of German Jewish scholars who fled Nazi persecution and joined the faculties of historically Black colleges and universities in the American South. There\, they encountered the challenges of leaving one oppressive society only to confront another shaped by segregation and racism. \n\n\n\nFollowing the screening\, directors Joel Sucher and Steven Fischler will join us virtually to discuss the making of the documentary. They will share insights into their collaboration with local historian Gabrielle Edgecomb\, their interviews with refugee scholars such as philosopher Ernst Manasse of North Carolina Central University\, and the lasting impact these émigré professors had on generations of students\, including economist and former Obama administration advisor Joyce Ladner. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP here.
