My name is Lola, and I'm a recent college graduate. I plan on someday obtaining a PhD in Jewish History/Holocaust studies, with an emphasis on museums, memorials, & visual culture.

Hillel is a Jewish organization present at most college campuses, and after the protests at FSU compared abortions to the Holocaust, they are planning to educate people as to what a REAL genocide is.

An interesting comparison between the portrayal of the Holocaust at Dachau and the US history of slavery at a former plantation site.

Etty →
Etty is a touring one-woman theatrical play based on the diaries and letters of Etty Hillesum, adapted and performed by Susan Stein. Directed by Austin Pendleton.
Using only Etty Hillesum’s words, Susan Stein’s adaptation brings us to 1943 when Etty, a young Jewish woman, is about to be deported out of Holland. As she prepares for the three day journey eastward, she digs deeper into her soul to understand
this piece of historyand root out any hatred or bitterness, believing that humanity is the best and only solution for survival.- from ettyplay.org
I had the privilege of seeing this play, spur of the moment, yesterday evening at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York. Etty was deeply moving and, surprisingly, had a compelling feminist message. Apparently, it was actually performed at Smith College, my alma mater, in February 2009— I can’t believe I missed it then, but I’m glad I didn’t miss it yesterday.
