- **Event Description**: Join us for this event featuring Dr. Sandra Gruner-Domic as she explores the dynamics of the Jewish refugee community in Bolivia.About this EventDuring the critical years of the Jewish refugee crisis, one unlikely country opened its doors: Bolivia. At the time, Bolivia was perceived as a poor and struggling nation, still recovering from the devastating war with Paraguay (1932-1935). Yet, against all expectations, the country welcomed around 20,000 Jewish refugees. Why did Bolivia become a refuge for many when many other Latin American countries turned people away? Join anthropologist and historian Dr. Sandra Gruner-Domic as she explores the dynamics of the refugee community in Bolivia, as well as the geopolitical inferences and responses to migration of undesired people in unexpected regions.The event is organized by the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and is underwritten by the Eva Bobrow Memorial Fund. It is co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights at Rutgers University; the Reiff Center for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution at Christopher Newport University; the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center in White Plains; the Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at Western Washington University; the Holocaust, Genocide & Interfaith Education Center at Manhattan University; the Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention at Binghamton University; the Sam and Frances Fried Holocaust and Genocide Academy at University of Nebraska at Omaha; the Holocaust Education & Resource Center at Kean University; and the Martin-Springer Institute at Northern Arizona University.**To attend in person: In person programs take place at the KHC unless noted otherwise.

                "description": "The mission of the KHC is to use the lessons of the Holocaust to educate current and future generations about the ramifications of unbridled prejudice, racism, and stereotyping. Established in 1983, it was one of the first research archives devoted to the Holocaust on the East Coast. Our facilities include a permanent exhibition about the Holocaust as well as a rotating gallery space, and in 2011 we were the recipients of a challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).Our current exhibit, Survivance and Sovereignty on Turtle Island: Engaging with Contemporary Native American Art, is the first time 16 Native American and Indigenous artists are showcasing their works about mass atrocities and genocide at a US Holocaust center (on view through May 22, 2020). We offer approximately twenty public programs and special events for Holocaust survivors, as well as host over 150+ tours reaching over 2,000 students and community members annually."
