"Reckonings" Documentary and Panel Discussion Join us for a screening and panel discussion of the new documentary "Reckonings," which looks at the question of reparations after the Holocaust. This precedes the International Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27). RECKONINGS is the first documentary feature to chronicle the harrowing process of negotiating German reparations for the Jewish people, which resulted in the groundbreaking Luxembourg Agreements of 1952. Filmed in six countries and featuring new interviews with Holocaust survivors, world-renowned scholars and dignitaries, and the last surviving member of the negotiating delegations, this film powerfully models how political will and a moral imperative can join forces to bridge an impossible divide. Could the perpetrators face their crimes? Could any compensation deliver justice to the survivors? Under the threat of violence, 6 years after the Holocaust, a group of German and Jewish leaders pushed for reparations as a step towards healing. View the trailer |

Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America's Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe An evening with Rebecca Erbelding. Erbelding is the author of Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America’s Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe (Doubleday, 2018), which won the National Jewish Book Award for excellence in writing based on archival research. She and her work are featured in the 2022 PBS documentary "The U.S. and the Holocaust," directed by Ken Burns, Lynn Novick, and Sarah Botstein, a film for which she served as a historical advisor. She holds a PhD in American history from George Mason University and has been a historian, curator, and archivist at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum since 2003. She served as the lead historian on the Museum’s special exhibition, Americans and the Holocaust. In her talk, Rescue Board, Dr. Rebecca Erbelding will share the extraordinary story of the War Refugee Board, a US government effort late in World War II to save the remaining Jews of Europe. The staff of the War Refugee Board gathered D.C. pencil-pushers, international relief workers, smugglers, diplomats, millionaires, and rabble-rousers to run operations across four continents and a dozen countries. They tricked Nazis, forged identity papers, maneuvered food and medicine into concentration camps, recruited spies, leaked news stories, laundered money, negotiated ransoms, and funneled millions of dollars into Europe, ultimately saving tens of thousands of lives. This program is supported through funding from the Norman Miller Family Foundation. |
