and Jewish populations each have
a painful history as targets of
hatred, discrimination, and
violence. Co-organized with the
Martin-Springer Institute of
Northern Arizona University,
this conference will explore the
ways in which a larger
conversation about these two
histories might illuminate not
only the Jewish-Muslim
relationship today but also the
larger dynamics of hate and
violence directed against
“others” in our society.<br>
<br>
Symposium Keynote Address<br>
Sunday, October 5, 7 p.m.<br>

The keynote will be jointly
delivered by Farah Pandith and
Hannah Rosenthal. Pandith was
the US Special Representative to
Muslim Communities in 2009–14.
Rosenthal served as the US State
Department Special Envoy and the
head of the Office to Monitor
and Combat Anti-Semitism in
2009–12, during which time she
and Pandith founded the State
Department’s “Hours Against
Hate” campaign.<br>

Co-organized with the University
of Mississippi, this
interdisciplinary symposium will
explore emerging research in
Holocaust studies on the
semiotics of race in public
spaces and efforts to
memorialize histories of
racialized atrocities, as well
as current research on these
topics in the American South.<br>
<br>
The symposium will feature
keynote lectures by Joe R.
Feagin, Ella C. McFadden
Professor in Sociology at Texas
A&M University, and James E.
Young, professor of English and
Judaic Studies at the University
of Massachusetts Amherst and
member of the United States
Holocaust Memorial Council’s
Academic Committee.<br>
<br>
By bringing together scholars,
teachers, students, and
community members, the Mandel
Center’s outreach symposia
program seeks to enrich campus
dialogue and forge connections
with diverse audiences that will
ensure the vitality of Holocaust
studies in an increasingly
interdisciplinary and
multicultural academic
landscape.<br>

Jeffrey Burds is associate
professor of history at
Northeastern University.
Educated at Northwestern
University and Yale University,
his scholarship focuses on
collaboration, espionage, and
counter-insurgency in the
context of World War II and the
Holocaust in the Soviet Union.<br>
<br>
Dr. Burds is the author of <em>Holocaust
in Rovno: The Massacre at
Sosenki Forest, November 1941</em>
(2013), <em>Espionage and
Nationalism</em> (published in
Russian in 2010), and <em>Soviet
Informants’ Networks</em>
(published in Russian in 2007).
He was a Charles H. Revson
Foundation Fellow at the Mandel
Center for Advanced Holocaust
Studies in 2008.<br>
<br>
In his lecture, Dr. Burds will
examine the long-held assumption
that Nazi Germany pursued a
take-no-prisoners policy toward
Communists captured during its
invasion and occupation of the
Soviet Union. As newly
discovered archival sources
show, far from annihilating
Communists as part of a
“Jewish-Communist” threat,
German occupation authorities
instead recruited many of these
former Communists to serve in
the occupation administration of
the Soviet zones.<br>
<br>
The Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff
Annual Lecture honors excellence
in research on the Holocaust and
fosters dissemination of
important, new Holocaust
scholarship. Joseph and Rebecca
Meyerhoff of Baltimore,
Maryland, were active
philanthropists in the United
States and abroad, focusing
especially on Jewish learning
and scholarship, music, the
arts, and humanitarian causes.
Their children, Eleanor Katz and
Harvey M. Meyerhoff, member and
Chairman Emeritus of the United
States Holocaust Memorial
Council, have endowed this
lecture.<br>

Marion Kaplan is the Skirball
Professor of Modern Jewish
History at New York University
and a three-time winner of the
National Jewish Book Award for
her books, <em>The Making of
the Jewish Middle Class:
Women, Family and Identity
in Imperial Germany</em>
(1991); <em>Between Dignity
and Despair: Jewish Life in
Nazi Germany</em> (1998);
and <em>Gender and Jewish
History</em>, co-edited with
Deborah Dash Moore (2011). In
her lecture, Dr. Kaplan will
explore how Jewish refugees in
Portugal coped during World
War II, as well as the
involvement of Jewish
philanthropies and Portuguese
officials and citizens in
their predicaments. She also
will analyze the conditions
that allowed Portugal to open
(and sometimes close) its
doors to tens of thousands of
Jewish refugees fleeing
war-torn Europe and Nazi
persecution.<br>
<br>
The J. B. and Maurice C.
Shapiro Senior
Scholar-in-Residence
Fellowship, endowed by the J.
B. and Maurice C. Shapiro
Charitable Trust, enables the
Mandel Center to bring a
distinguished scholar to the
Museum each year to conduct
innovative research about the
Holocaust and to disseminate
this work to the public. The
scholar-in-residence also
leads seminars, lectures at
universities in the United
States, and serves as a
resource for the Museum,
educators, students, and the
general public.<br>

<br>
This conference will bring
together scholars from all
disciplines working on the
Holocaust in the southeastern
tier of Europe to share their
research with each other and the
public. The conference seeks to

and slave labor; the dynamics of
complicity and collaboration;
everyday life on the front and
under occupation; plunder,
robbery, and expropriation;
refugees and displaced persons;
understudied victims; gender;
the cultural politics of
representation and commemoration
in the aftermath; contemporary
Holocaust revisionism and
denial, and manifestations of
antisemitic and anti-Romani
prejudice; and communities and
identities forged around the
experiences of war and genocide.<br>
<br>
To propose a paper for this
conference, please send (1) a
cover letter addressing your
specific interests in the study
and teaching of the Holocaust in
southeastern Europe; (2) your

Holocaust studies by encouraging
participation in the broad range
of scholarly and publicly
available educational programs
offered by the Museum during the
summer months.<br>
<br>
Research assistant projects may

supporting the research,
annotation, contextualization,
and editing required for
advancing the Museum’s <em>Encyclopedia

In addition, assistants are
expected to participate in a
weekly training seminar led by
Museum staff, which introduces
them to key subjects, essential
tools, and useful methods and
approaches, as well as career
opportunities in Holocaust
research. Assistants are
expected to familiarize
themselves with relevant topics
through assigned readings and to
actively engage with Mandel
Center staff.<br>
<br>
Assistants are required to be in
residence at the Museum for 12
consecutive weeks, arriving on

the Gates of Jerusalem: The
Diaries and Papers of James G.
McDonald, 1945–1947</em><br>
Edited by Norman J. W. Goda,
Barbara McDonald Stewart,
Severin Hochberg, and Richard
Breitman<br>
Published by Indiana University
Press in association with the
United States Holocaust Memorial
Museum<br>
<br>
This volume, the third in a
series of James G. McDonald’s
edited diaries and papers,
covers his work from 1945, with
the formation of the
Anglo-American Committee,
through 1947, with the United
Nations’ decision to partition
Palestine between Jews and
Arabs. The “Anglo-American
Committee of Inquiry Regarding
the Problems of European Jewry
and Palestine” was a group
charged with finding a solution
to the problem of European
Jewish refugees in the context
of the increasingly unstable
British Mandate in Palestine.
McDonald’s diaries and papers
offer the most thorough personal
account we have of the committee
and the politics surrounding it.
His diary is part travelogue
through the desolation of
postwar Europe and a Middle East
being transformed by new Jewish
settlements. McDonald maintained
discreet contact with Zionist
and moderate Arab leaders
throughout the committee’s
hearings and deliberations. He
was instrumental in the
recommendation that 100,000
Jewish refugees enter Palestine
and won President Harry Truman’s
trust in order to counter
attempts to nullify the report’s
recommendations.<br>
