SUMMARY:'After: Poetry Destroys Silence'—Virtual Film Screening and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The film After: Poetry Destroys Silence juxtaposes two competing claims about poetry after genocide and unspeakable horrors: Theodor Adorno’s statement\, “To write a poem after Auschwitz is barbaric” and Charles Bukowski’s rebuttal\, “Poetry is what happens when nothing else can.” \nAfter explores poetry written about the Shoah\, in which contemporary poets respond to the Holocaust and talk about the importance and need for poetry in a world that still grapples with genocide. Rather than seeing the devastation\, After shows how poets respond to catastrophe and write in its aftermath. The film is ultimately about human resiliency\, the power and courage to forge new lives\, and the value of poetry in looking to the past to help create a better future. \nThe virtual panel discussion will include the film’s director Richard Kroehling\, Amelia Glaser\, a scholar of Slavic and Jewish literature from the nineteenth century to the present and the author of Jews and Ukrainians in Russia’s Literary Borderlands (2012) and Songs in Dark Times: Yiddish Poetry of Struggle from Scottsboro to Palestine (2020)\, and Anna Shternshis\, a scholar of Jewish culture in Russia and the Soviet Union\, oral history as well as Yiddish music and the author of Soviet and Kosher: Jewish Popular Culture in the Soviet Union\, 1923 – 1939 (2006) and When Sonia Met Boris: An Oral History of Jewish Life under Stalin (2017)\, and director of a Grammy-nominated project\, Yiddish Glory: The Lost Songs of WWII\, which highlights forgotten Yiddish music written during the Holocaust in the Soviet Union.

SUMMARY:Lecture: “Bringing ‘Tikkun Olam’ to the South: New York Jews in the Civil Rights Movement”
DESCRIPTION:Miyuki Kita\, professor of American studies at the University of Kitakyushu\, Japan\, will examine an unknown\, unacknowledged episode of the commitment of New York Jews to the Civil Rights Movement and its impact outside of New York City. During the summer of 1963\, 16 Queens College students—14 of whom were Jewish—traveled as far as the Prince Edward County\, Virginia\, to tutor local African American children who had not received any formal education since the shutdown of the county’s public schools to avoid the state’s integration order in 1959. These “Freedom Schools” eventually became an important model for Mississippi Freedom Schools in the following year. Additionally\, as a backdrop to the students’ visit to Virginia\, more than 200 students started to serve as tutors and recreational leaders for underprivileged children in South Jamaica\, Queens\, every Saturday in April 1963. In such circumstances emerged Andrew Goodman\, a Queens College student at the time of his death in Mississippi and gave his life to the civil rights movement. \nMiyuki Kita’s studies have focused on antisemitism in the U.S.\, Black-Jewish relations\, and Jewish involvement in the civil rights movement. She was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar affiliated with the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University from 2012-2013. She also served as a visiting scholar at Queens College\, City University of New York in 2018-2019. Her works include “Breaking the ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’: Jews and the 1945 New York Fair Employment Practices Act\,” in Fruma Mohrer and Ettie Goldwasser eds.\, New York and the American Jewish Communal Experience (New York: YIVO Institute for Jewish Research\, 2013) and “Foot Soldier in the Civil Rights Movement: Lynn Goldsmith with SCLC–SCOPE\, Summer 1965\,” Southern JewishHistory\, vol.22\, 2019\, pp.151-188.
