Only Hope : Better Tomorrows Feb 18, 2024 Jewish Culture and Holocaust/10.7 Remembrance Community JCHRnow.circle.so We welcome Esther Gilbert, wife of the late Sir Martin Gilbert (world-renowned Holocaust Historian) for her third annual presentation to the Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance Community. Esther will present Where Jewish History and Geography Collide with two of Sir Martin's well-known atlases, the Routledge Atlas of the Holocaust, with a Foreword by David Patterson, and the Jewish History Atlas, which has a Foreword by the late former Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, both atlases newly updated by Esther. The Routledge Atlas of the Holocaust has Sir Martin's text and new maps of deportation routes, camp layouts, and former ghetto towns. These will be helpful for those who travel to these areas or study them at home or in school. The Routledge Atlas of Jewish History: Travel through Jewish history - this atlas has been completely redesigned including maps of former and historic Jewish communities in Arab and Muslim lands and in the former Soviet Union. Presenting with Esther are Jo Sorochinsky and Jes Heppler Jo Sorochinsky author of “Dancing With My Father” Does a child have the right to know a parent’s history? Does the key to one’s identity lie within that history? Raised as a Catholic in Ireland and Canada, the author of Dancing With My Father thought so as she probed her father’s past, at a loss to understand why he spent so much of his life hiding and fearing it. After all, he painted his early years in Vienna as filled with light and music. Decades passed before he would talk about the dark side that he had left behind in Vienna, when he fled alone, as a teenager, to Ireland in 1939. Though he finally broke open the secrets of his history, was he ever able to see himself in the enormity of those times and forgive himself? Jes Heppler - On the Path to Portuguese Citizenship, I Uncovered My Sephardic History When Portugal announced it would end the opportunity for Sephardic naturalization, I dropped everything to trace back nine generations of my family.
