DESCRIPTION:An online lecture by Wolf Gruner (Founding Director\, USC Shoah
  Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research)\n\nOrganized by the Joh
 annesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre and The Base\nCosponsored by the USC
  Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research\n\nJewish resistan
 ce during the Holocaust is still understood mostly in terms of rare armed 
 group activities in the Nazi occupied East which included ghetto uprisings
  or partisan activities.  By contrast\, this talk will focus on forgotten 
 acts of individual Jewish resistance\, such as the case of Hertha Reis\, w
 ho protested in plain daylight against the persecution in 1941- a few mont
 hs before the mass deportation started in the capital of the Third Reich. 
 She exclaimed in front of the Berlin courthouse\, “We lost everything. B
 ecause of the damned government\, we finally lost our home\, too. This thu
 g Hitler\, the damned government\, the damned people. Just because we are 
 Jews\, we are discriminated against.” \n\nEmploying new source materials
  such as logbooks of Berlin police precincts\, trial materials from variou
 s German cities\, as well as video testimonies of survivors\, Professor Gr
 uner challenges the common misconception that Jews submitted passively to 
 Nazi persecution and demonstrates how Jewish women and men performed count
 less acts of resistance in Nazi Germany proper between 1933 and 1945.\n\nR
 egister here.\n\nWolf Gruner is the Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies
  and Professor of History at University of Southern California. He is the 
 Founding Director of the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide
  Research.
