About the event

Lost Notebooks of Children's Testimonies from the Holocaust
Come for a discussion about the Displaced Persons Camp teachers who tried to ensure the children's stories would not be forgotten.

About this Event

In 1945, a group of survivors in the Bergen-Belsen Displaced Persons Camp opened several schools for the growing number of orphaned and displaced children at the camp. To help their young charges heal, the teachers encouraged them to write and speak about their traumatic wartime experiences. Recently uncovered notebooks of child testimonies together with fragmentary archival collections scattered across multiple repositories tell the story of this early documentary effort. On the 87th anniversary of the Kristallnacht pogrom that took place November 9 and 10, 1938, join Dr. Regina Kazyulina and Dr. Christopher Mauriello, Director of Salem State University's Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, for a discussion about the teachers who did everything in their power, despite their own wartime traumas, to ensure the children's stories and voices would not be forgotten.
