SUMMARY:Teaching Controversial Issues and Media Literacy
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences New Jersey Center for Civic Education. \nWe live in a highly partisan era and teachers are concerned about how to address controversial issues in a non-partisan manner that creates a safe classroom environment and promotes civil discourse. Media literacy is a key aspect of this. This workshop will provide content and strategies to help teachers address these issues.

SUMMARY:Nazism in America: The Front of Youth Camps
DESCRIPTION:During the 1930s\, the German-American Bund\, a revived organization emerging from the disbanded Friends of New Germany under the leadership of immigrant Fritz Kuhn\, established more than twenty youth camps across the country. To most outsiders\, these camps appeared to be summer camps to give German-American youth opportunities to engage with sports and the land. But in reality\, they were fronts of the Nazi movement. One camp in particular\, Camp Nordland\, operated in Sussex County\, New Jersey\, from 1937 until early 1941. \nBarbara Krasner\, a historian and prize winning poet\, has written about Camp Nordland and how it unraveled a friendship between two Newark teens\, one Jewish and one German-American. Dr. Krasner will present the history of the Bund in America\, the establishment of these camps with a special emphasis on Nordland\, and read selections from her novel in verse\, Facing the Enemy: How a Nazi Youth Camp in America Tested a Friendship (Calkins Creek\, 2023). She’ll also discuss the importance of upstanding to protect human rights then and now. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Professional development hours provided. \nFor more information\, please contact: Erica V. Colace\, Director\, Kean Skylands\nkeanskylands@kean.edu | (908) 737-1612

SUMMARY:Strangers in Their Own Land: Jewish Self-Awareness in Holocaust Memoirs -- Via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive session\, participants will discuss short excerpts describing the painful realization of what it means to be oppressed. Professor Dorian Stuber will consider texts by Sarah Kofman and Nechama Tec. Despite their differences in national origin and living situations\, each writer grappled with what it meant to be a stranger in her own land. Using Michael Rothberg’s idea of “multidirectional memory\,” the session will conclude by using the African American sociologist W. E. B. DuBois’s articulation of “double consciousness” as an accessible conceptual language for understanding the self-awareness of persecuted minorities and placing the Holocaust in relation to other histories of oppression. \nFor more information\, please contact: Dr. Adara Goldberg at agoldber@kean.edu / (908) 737-\nUniversity 1000 Morris Avenue\, Union\, NJ. 07083 www.kean.edu

SUMMARY:The Vel d’Hiv Round-Up: The Largest Mass Arrest in Wartime French History  -- Via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:On July 16-17\, 1942 in Occupied Paris\, more than 13\,000 French Jews were arrested by French Police. The victims were held in deplorable conditions at the Vélodrome  d’Hiver or Vel d’Hiv\, an indoor cycling stadium until they were sent to detainment camps outside of Paris where they either died or were deported to concentration camps. Dr. Eileen Angelini’s presentation will discuss how the Vichy Government planned this round-up and how the French government and people have since dealt with the pain and shame of this traumatic event. \nFor more information\, please contact: Dr. Adara Goldberg at agoldber@kean.edu / (908) 737- 4633\nKean University 1000 Morris Avenue\, Union\, NJ. 07083 www.kean.edu
