The week will be marked with the presentation \u201cDwight Eisenhower\u2019s Greatest Achievement: Protecting the History of the Holocaust\u201d from 6\u20137:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 25, and a screening of \u201cProtocols of Zion\u201d from 6\u20138 p.m. Wednesday, April 26. Holocaust survivor Nathan Shaffir will close the week with a talk from 7\u20138 p.m. Thursday, April 27.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Rives,\u00a0acting director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum, and Boyhood Home, will discuss how President Dwight D. Eisenhower\u2019s efforts to document the reality of the concentration camps was a punitive strike against future deniers. Among his many achievements as commander and president, his battle to preserve the truth of the concentration camps may be his greatest. Rives is also the\u00a0supervisory archivist at the Eisenhower Library and is an expert on many facets of the history of Eisenhower. The presentation will be in Hauptli Student Activities Center, Room 203.<\/p>\n<p>Released after Sept. 11, 2001, the documentary \u201cProtocols of Zion\u201d explores the ongoing notion of a \u201cJewish conspiracy\u201d to take over the world, first proposed in a forgery by the czarist secret police in 19th\u00a0century Russia. The conspiracy theory has now expanded into a belief widely held by anti-Semites that Israel was behind the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.\u00a0A brief discussion will follow the screening, which will take place in Hauptli Student Activities Center, Room 203.\u00a0The film is rated R for disturbing content and adult language.<\/p>\n<p>Nathan \u201cNat\u201d Shaffir will share his experiences during and after the Holocaust. Shaffir, originally from Romania, was 6 years old when pro-Nazi government agents and soldiers began persecuting Jews in Romania (including Nat and his family). This continued at the hands of Hungarian soldiers occupying parts of Romania and also after the war, as the new Communist government maintained a policy of anti-Semitism toward the Jews who had survived the Holocaust. This story sheds an important light on the reality of the Holocaust and the period afterward. Many nations, in addition to Germany, acted in collaboration with the Nazis or had programs and policies directed at their own Jewish citizens. The presentation will be in Sams Chapel, Pioneer Hall, and will be followed by a casual meet-and-greet at 8:30 p.m. in Brown Mezzanine, Hauptli Student Activities Center.<\/p>\n<p>Holocaust Remembrance and Genocide Awareness Week\u00a0is a series of events held in mid-April on the KWU campus\u00a0to\u00a0remember those who died in the Nazi\u00a0Holocaust of World War II\u00a0and to raise awareness of\u00a0the ongoing problem of genocide throughout the world. Begun in 2007 as &#8220;Holocaust Remembrance Week&#8221;\u00a0by the KWU Department of History, the annual event has grown every year. It is characterized by cross-campus participation, diverse programs and events, sponsorship by a wide variety of local and national entities, and draws an audience that includes students from KWU and other schools, as well as many guests\u00a0from Salina and outlying communities. In 2012 the name of the event was expanded to &#8220;Holocaust Remembrance and Genocide Awareness Week&#8221; to better reflect the trend seen at Holocaust museums, cultural and survivor\u00a0associations, and academic programs to link the two topics as a way of confronting the ongoing threat of genocide.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SALINA, KANSAS, April 11, 2017 \u2014 Kansas Wesleyan University will present the 11th annual Holocaust Remembrance and Genocide Awareness Week, beginning on Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 24.
