3 - Benjamin and Vladka Meed Registry of Jewish Holocaust Survivors.

The United State Holocaust Memorial Museum is America’s national 
institution for the documentation, study, and interpretation of 
Holocaust history.   The museum, library, and archive serve as 
America’s memorial to the millions of people murdered during the 
Holocaust, i.e., the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and 
annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators 
between 1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims ­ six million 
were murdered; Gypsies, the handicapped and Poles were also targeted 
for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic or national reasons. 
Millions more, including homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviet 
prisoners of war and political dissidents also suffered grievous 
oppression and death under Nazi tyranny.  In light of the 
re-emergence of a new generation of violent, anti-Semitic regimes 
that teach hate and violence against Jews, as well denial of the 
Holocaust in books, schools, universities, and media, the USHMM’s 
educational mission becomes all the more urgent: to advance and 
disseminate knowledge about this unprecedented tragedy; to preserve 
the memory of those who suffered; and to encourage its visitors to 
reflect upon the moral and spiritual questions raised by the events 
of the Holocaust as well as their own responsibilities as citizens of 
a democracy.  The resources and specialized reference services 
support the public, librarians, family history researchers, school 
children, and visiting fellows.

Committee: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or (858) 694-2484

[ha-Safran]: Recording sessions

[Sukenic, Harvey]

In regards to recording sessions at the convention, another concern 
might be the added costs the hotel charges for AV.  I don't know all 
of the details from the Boston conference but I think we had to use 
and pay the hotel staff to set up AV equipment.  The hotel AV charges 
are a large part of the hotel conference cost. That was one reason we 
tried to limit the use of things like PowerPoint.  Maybe whoever is 
in charge of AV for this year has checked out that pricing.

[ha-Safran]: JWA Oral History Guide

[Marya Axner]

Dear AJL members:

Who says there are only four questions?

The Jewish Women's Archive has a commitment to asking many questions, 
as we capture and preserve the stories of Jewish community members 
through oral history.

As Passover approaches, we would like to offer a free copy of our 
oral history guide, In Our Own Voices: A Guide to Conducting Life 
History Interviews with American Jewish Women, to librarians who 
would like to make this guide available to their communities.

In Our Own Voices is a step-by-step guide for anyone interested in 
learning how to conduct oral history interviews.  Used by teachers, 
family educators, sisterhoods, bar/bat mitzvah and confirmation 
classes, family history and genealogy buffs, Jewish organizations and 
museums, and groups undertaking community oral history projects, the 
guide includes sample forms for every step of the interview process, 
exemplary stories from JWA’s oral history archives, and hundreds of 
questions to ask that will help you conduct sensitive and probing interviews.

Respond by March 19th  to Ruth Pearlstein at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with your mailing 
address and phone number, and receive a copy by Passover.  Additional 
copies of In Our Own Voices are available for use with selected oral 
history projects.  If you, or someone in your community, is 
interested, please send us a brief description of your project.


What Others Say about In Our Own Voices:

"My Jewish Women's Class stumbled around for years trying to figure 
out the most effective way to conduct an interview. We knew we wanted 
an end product that would have both substance and quality, but we 
didn't know quite how to get it. We tried new approaches each year, 
sometimes with more, sometimes less success. JWA's In Our Own Voices 
rescued us from our stumble. This oral history guidebook provides 
clear direction, rich examples, and a reliable and deeply personal 
end product. Thank you, JWA, for providing us the tools to both 
gather and share our stories."

RE: [ha-Safran]: Recording sessions

[Reister, Maureen]

I agree with Heidi. I personally have purchased tapes from AJL and other
conferences I've attended in the past and never listened to them once.

As many people use Power Point or other presentation tools that can
easily be published on the web, I think the best way to go is to have
sessions (presentations and handouts) available on the AJL website after
the convention.

My $.02!

RE: [ha-Safran]: Rooms at convention

[Susan Dubin]

I spoke to the hotel Manager about this. He said that the call center 
people were in error. Most of the rooms have double beds. You have to 
specially request a single King. He let the call center people taking 
reservations know that they were giving out false information. Thanks 
for letting me know there was an issue. Hopefully, this has taken care of it.

[ha-Safran]: Passover Podcast of The Book of Life

[Heidi Estrin]

The March episode of The Book of Life (Heidi Estrin’s podcast) is now 
available on the Internet. This episode celebrates the holiday of 
Passover with author interviews and music!

Click
 
here to listen to the podcast now!

This episode features:
*  dave horowitz (yes, he spells it 
lower case), speaking about his picture book 
Five 
Little Gefiltes (Putnam, 2007). The "Five Little Ducks" recording 
you'll hear on the show was provided by I 
CAN, a UK charity that supports children's communication. Please help 
them help more kids by adding your favorite (or "favourite") word to 
their Wall of Words. I added "gefilte."
* Tami Lehman-Wilzig on her children's book 
Passover
 
Around the World (Kar-Ben, 2007).
* Sean Altman of the band Jewmongous 
about the song "They Tried to Kill Us (We Survived, Let's Eat)," 
written with Rob Tannenbaum (now of 
Good for the Jews) during 
their tenure in the band What I 
Like About Jew.
* FYI: While most materials discussed on The Book of Life are 
family-friendly, the music of these bands is not. As it says on the 
Jewmongous web site, "Due to adult themes and language, JEWMONGOUS is 
not recommended for children under 13 unless you're raising them to 
be sailors." The interview, however, is clean!
* Cantor Stephanie Shore of 
Congregation B'nai Israel in Boca Raton (The 
Book of Life's home base) about her CD Pesaschtick

All episodes of The Book of Life podcast are available
