Holocaust Education Week
GUEST SPEAKER - Dr. Waitman W. Beorn
Thursday, November 6th at 7:30 at Beth David
Program Title: Ruthlessly and Mercilessly:
The German Army and the Holocaust
For far too many, the German Army has escaped criticism for
its role in the Nazi genocidal project. In this lecture, Dr. Waitman
Beorn will discuss the participation of the German Army in the
Holocaust in Belarus and Poland. He will focus on the behaviour
of individuals at the local level and lay bare the many ways in
which the German Army or Wehrmacht was complicit in both the
murder and the exploitation of Jews in Eastern Europe. Relying on
archival documents, judicial interrogations, oral history and survival
testimony, Dr. Beorn paints a disturbing picture of an organization
inextricably linked to the extermination of European Jewry.
Dr. Waltman Wade Beorn is the Louis and Frances Bluntkin
Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies and assistant professor
of History at the University of Nebraska Omaha.
As the host venue, BDBIBA is pleased to share this evening
with the Holocaust Education Centre as part of the 34th annual
Holocaust Education Week.
Generously co-sponsored by the Ganz family, in memory of
Sam Ganz, beloved father, grandfather and Holocaust survivor. Sam
created a successful new life and left an important legacy in the
Toronto Jewish community.
