SUMMARY:Hitler\, Stalin and the Idea of Judeo-Bolshevism
DESCRIPTION:Judeo-Bolshevism was the Nazi conspiracy theory that Jews secretly controlled the Soviet Union and communism. In this lecture\, Dr. Philip Decker traces the origins and evolution of this antisemitic myth\, examines how it shifted during the Nazi-Soviet Pact\, and explores how it ultimately became a central ideological justification for the Holocaust and Nazi mass murder in the Soviet Union. \n\n\n\nRSVP here.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStalin and German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop shake hands after the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in the Kremlin\, August 23\, 1939.

He will receive his Ph.D. in History from Princeton University in 2026 and is currently an Ernest May Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. His research examines the intersection of ideology\, culture\, diplomacy\, and power\, and his work has appeared in leading journals\, including The English Historical Review\, German Studies Review\, and Oxford German Studies.

SUMMARY:Baxt Lecture: The Holocaust from the Perspective of Jewish Children and Older Adults 
DESCRIPTION:How did Jewish children experience the Holocaust? Were all older Jewish adults slated for immediate destruction? Why are their histories marginalized? What do we learn by zooming in on the lives of younger and older Jews during the Holocaust? This program will engage with these and other questions and reveal how the personal and collective histories of older Jews and of Jewish children were often intertwined because of Nazi racist anti-Jewish ideology and policy. These histories will illuminate the agency that these two age groups have been denied for all too long.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Polish Jewish family walks on the Planty in Kraków\, Poland\, 1935. From left to right: Chaim Horowitz\, Josef Horowitz\, Romek Zimet (the donor’s cousin)\, and Izaak Horowitz (the donor’s grandfather). United States Holocaust Memorial Museum\, courtesy of Dola Kogan & Josef Horowitz. \n\n\n\nRSVP here.  \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Joanna Sliwa is a historian at the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference)\, where she also administers academic programs. Joanna is a historian of the Holocaust and modern Polish Jewish history. She is the author of the award-winning book\, “Jewish Childhood in Kraków: A Microhistory of the Holocaust\,” co-author with Elizabeth (Barry) White of “The Counterfeit Countess: The Jewish Woman Who Rescued Thousands of Poles during the Holocaust\,” and co-editor with Christine Schmidt and Elizabeth Anthony of “Older Jews and the Holocaust: Persecution\, Displacement\, and Survival.” Joanna has taught Jewish and Holocaust history at universities\, advised and served as an educator in teacher training programs on the Holocaust\, and served as a researcher and translator for academic projects\, films\, TV programs\, and exhibits.
