Women’s Stories: Holocaust Histories in the Museum

October 21, 2026, 2:30pm to 4:00pm EDT

To attend online: https://tinyurl.com/263t33rb

Museums act as conduits of historical information to the public. As such, these institutions are responsible for considering their role in creating and perpetuating historical narratives. Using gender as a category of historical analysis reveals how women are underrepresented within memorial spaces dedicated to the Holocaust. While individual women may be visibly depicted in photos and conveyed through survivor testimonies, exhibits at many large museums often miss the overarching narrative of women’s collective experiences. Join Dr. Katie Chaka-Parks, Director of Education at the Zekelman Holocaust Center in Farmington Hills, Michigan, for a discussion about how these representations and omissions inform our understanding of the memory and history of the Holocaust.

Please join us on Monday, October 5, @ 2:15pm to 4:00pm EDT for our co-sponsored event with the Kupferberg Holocaust Center, "Anti-Jewish Folklore and the Rise of Antisemitism Before, During and After the Holocaust"

The first written account of an anti-Jewish folktale is a tale of English or German origin, published in 1228. From the Middle Ages to the Modern Era, these folktales helped fuel the anti-Jewish prejudice prevalent within and beyond Western society. By the nineteenth century, the tales assisted in paving the way for anti-Judaism to transition into antisemitism; subsequently, the N***s were then able to capitalize on these stories as objects of antisemitic propaganda. Join Dr. Sofia Lago, Lecturer of English for Academic Purposes at Suzhou University, for a discussion about how these counternarratives served to inflame rampant antisemitism perpetuated by Hitler’s N**i party.

This event is part of the 2026-27 Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Colloquium, “Storytelling in/as Resistance.”

In 1912, Chawa Złoczower, a Jewish Polish immigrant made her way to the US and soon helped publicize the anarchist speeches of Emma Goldman. Later, Złoczower took the name Eve Adams, and toured America, getting paid to sell radical leftist magazines. In 1925 she published a unique, pioneering book, Le***an Love, containing stories of women she had met. Her activism drew the Ire of US FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, ultimately leading to Adams’ deportation back to Poland and tragic murder in Auschwitz. Join Jonathan Ned Katz, historian and author of the 2021 biography, The Daring Life and Dangerous Times of Eve Adams, for a conversation about Adams’ adventurous life, his work to uncover her story as a vibrant resistor, and what it means in today’s troubled social world. This event is part of the 2026-27 Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and National Endowment for the Humanities Colloquium (NEH), “Storytelling in/as Resistance.”
