» » » Postponed  "Ibuka", the coalition of the Rwandese associations of genocide survivors in collaboration with the "Group Project for Holocaust Survivors and Their Children"
Life After Death. Rebuilding Genocide Survivors' Lives: Challenges and Opportunities
An International Conference of Survivors
21.-25.05.2001, Kigali, Rwanda  Postponed « « « 
Purpose of the conference
The conference is intended to bring Holocaust survivors, Armenians, Cambodians, Gypsies, or their children, and other genocide survivors together with Rwandan survivors in order to share their experiences, commemorate the victims, seek ways to improve the lives of survivors after the genocide, and coordinate their efforts to help ensure that there will be no such crimes against humanity in the future.

Specific objectives
Sharing among the survivors' groups experiences of genocide and of coping with post-genocide life. Commemorating the genocide victims. Peace building among different communities in Rwanda. Exploring effective ways to meet the survivors' entitlements to reparations, including restitution, compensation and rehabilitation. Preventing genocide from happening again and rebuilding genocide-torn societies to prevent the perpetuation of life-long and multigenerational effects

Anticipated results
The continuing consequences of the Tutsi genocide will be globally publicized to ensure that appropriate programs for survivors are undertaken. Rwandans will have learned how other people live in the aftermath of genocide and will use these lessons to take initiatives to overcome the consequences of their own genocide. Having clarified the living conditions of survivors in post-genocide society, solutions will be proposed. Strategies will be formulated to mobilize people to address the issues of the welfare of survivors, justice, and the collective memory of genocide victims.
Hopefully, a worldwide network of victim/survivors of genocide will be founded.

Moses-Mendelssohn-Zentrum fuer Europaeisch-Juedische Studien
Das Wilkomirski-Syndrom. Eingebildete Erinnerungen, oder: von der Sehnsucht, Opfer sein zu wollen. Internationale Konferenz [in English and German]
23.-25.05., Altes Rathaus, Potsdam
Sektion I: Der Fall Wilkomirski - das Buch "mit dem Gewicht des Jahrhunderts" (NZZ, 14.11.1995). In dieser Sektion traegt Prof. Dr. med. Hans Stoffels, Berlin, zum Thema "Das Trauma als Faszinosum. Zur Psycho(patho)logie von Pseudo-Erinnerungen und Pseudo-Identitaeten" vor.

Sektion II: Andere Verwandlungsfaelle

Podiumsdiskussion

Erinnern ist subjektiv, Erinnerungen sind individuelle Erfahrungen. Sprechen wir ueber die Zeit des Holocaust vermitteln wir - soweit dies ueberhaupt moeglich ist -, Vorstellungen von einem zeitlichen Geschehen, das sich jedem rein rational angelegten Erklaerungsversuch verschliesst. Das von Binjamin Wilkomirski 1995 veroeffentlichte Buch "Bruchstuecke", eine Beschreibung seiner Kindheitserlebnisse im KZ, wuchs sich zum Skandal aus, als sich herausstellte, dass alles eine Erfindung war. Der Vorgang loeste eine heftige Kontroverse aus, in deren Gefolge die vielen anderen authentischen Zeitzeugenberichte ueber die Shoa diskreditiert wurden. Der Fall Wilkomirski ist kein Einzelfall. Die Konferenz will sich mit der Problematik eingebildeter Erinnerungen oder, wie es im Untertitel heisst, mit den Sehnsuechten mancher Zeitgenossen, Opfer sein zu wollen, auseinandersetzen. Anhand des Wilkomirski-Skandals beziehungsweise anderer aehnlich gelagerter Faelle werden Historiker, Literaturwissenschaftler, Soziologen, Psychologen und Publizisten versuchen, sich diesem Phaenomen mit seinen Ursachen und Auswirkungen zu naehern.

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies (CAHS)
The Holocaust: Literature and Representation
A Special One-Day Symposium
24.05.2001, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., 100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SW, Washington, DC 20024-2126, Helena Rubinstein Auditorium, Lower Level
Session I: Bearing Witness through Literature?
Session II: Transmission and Reception
Session III: Trauma, Testimony, and Holocaust Literature

For several decades, literary scholars in North America, Europe, and Israel have engaged in a discussion of the value and importance of employing fiction and poetry in reflections upon the Holocaust. Many of the issues central to this ongoing dialogue remain hotly debated, including the ways in which the history and memory of the Holocaust are transmitted in literature, the public reception of those transmissions, the relationship between oral testimony and literature, and the potentially therapeutic value of using literature to confront the emotional trauma left behind after the genocide. This program is a unique opportunity to hear from 12 leading academics and literary critics whose work examines and analyzes literary treatments of the Holocaust.

International Trauma Studies Program at New York University
Comprehensive Course in Trauma Studies
September 2001 to May 2002
This two semester course provides the participant with a full exploration of the trauma field: a comprehensive framework that includes the history, current theories and research about the nature of traumatic events and their impact on human systems. It is designed as an introduction to the field of mental health and human rights, addressing pressing needs in the areas of domestic and communal violence, ethnopolitical violence and refugee trauma, and disasters of natural and human origin.

Participants explore a wide range of international and multidisciplinary responses to traumatic events and their impact on the individual, family, community, and nation. The course offers an analysis of the evolution of trauma over time: from event through assessment, intervention, recovery, advocacy and prevention.
Controversies and new developments in the field are addressed. Multidisciplinary perspectives on the representation of trauma in the arts, literature and in the media are presented. Lectures and discussions are led by experts on the faculty and invited guest speakers who are pioneers in the field and who are conducting innovative field projects. This course is designed for a multi-disciplinary audience: health care providers, mental health professionals, attorneys, human rights advocates, community activists, journalists and media professionals, oral historians, academicians and artists. The course also offers practicum experience working with trauma
survivors and refugees living in New York City. Participants receive, upon completion, a certificate of attendance.

Fall and Spring Comprehensive Course meets weekly, on Thursdays, from 4:00-7:00pm. Tuition is $1800/semester.

The International Trauma Studies Program at New York University is currently accepting applications for its fourth annual Certificate Training Program in Trauma Studies. The deadline for applications is June 15th, 2001.

International Trauma Studies Program at New York University
Advanced Clinical Seminar Series in Trauma Treatment and Prevention
September, 2001 to May, 2002
This seminar series grants clinicians the opportunity to develop and refine clinical skills based on a trauma intervention model. The one to two-day seminars, offered over the course of the academic year, address specific trauma-related topics and incorporate didactic and experiential learning methods. Invited speakers present in-depth explorations of their own research/clinical work and writings on topics in the trauma field. The synthesis of essential topics required for clinical skill refinement is facilitated through case discussion. The Comprehensive Course in Trauma Studies (one or both semesters) is a co-requisite or pre-requisite for enrolling in the advanced course. Although primarily designed for clinicians entering the clinical setting or already practicing with individual, family or group populations, non-licensed participants may be eligible for some seminars. Each participant receives a certificate of attendance.

Northeastern University's 2001 Morton Memorial Lecture
Deborah E. Lipstadt, Director, Institute for Jewish Studies and Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies at Emory University
Defending History
6.05.2001 at 4:00 p.m., Northeastern University, Blackman Auditorium, Ell Hall
URL http://www.neu.edu/maps/maps.html (building #3 on web map)

Professor Lipstadt's latest book "Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory", is the first full length study of the history of those who attempt to deny the Holocaust. Her book was the basis upon which a multimillion dollar libel suit was brought against her and her publisher by British historian David Irving. He denies that Jews were systematically killed in the gas chambers at Auschwitz, and claims that Professor Lipstadt ruined his reputation and career by labeling him a Holocaust denier and by asserting that he twisted historical data to suit his biases. Despite Lipstadt's court victory, David Irving is once again in court claiming "new
evidence" and seeking an appeal.
Lipstadt will speak about her roles of scholar and defendant as she details her trial victory. One of the trial's expert witnesses, Robert Jan van Pelt , and Sir Richard Rampton, chief barrister for Dr. Lipstadt's defense team and Britain's Queen's Counsel, will be available during the question and answer period following her lecture.
Followed by The Chamber Chorus of the Zamir Chorale of Boston at 6:00 p.m., "Forbidden Music of the Holocaust". Concert with narration by Prof. Joshua Jacobson, Artistic Director of Zamir Chorale

Menschenrechtsbeauftragte bei Landesaerztekammern. Geschichte - Erfahrungen - Perspektiven [in German]
28.05.2001, 20:00 Uhr, Hamburg, Evangelische Akademie, Esplanade 15
Menschenrechtsbeauftragte gibt es erst seit wenigen Jahren an einigen, noch bei weitem nicht an allen Landesaerztekammern. Das eher verhaltene und defensive Aufnehmen einer Forderung as dem demokratisch-alternativen Lager hat es mit sich gebracht, dass Auftrag und Inhalt dieser Institution nur vage formuliert und regional unterschiedlich ausgestaltet wurden. Trotzdem erfuellen diese Einrichtungen neben den anderen allgemeinen Menschenrechtsinstitutionen eine spezifische und wichtige Aufgabe im Spektrum von Information ueber, Hilfe bei und Praevention von Menschenrechtsverletzungen. Praktische Erfahrungen und daraus abgeleitete Perspektiven sollen in der Aerzteschaft breiter diskutiert und in die aerztliche Praxis eingebunden werden.

Die Ankuendigungstexte wurden dem Info-Faltblatt entnommen.
