SUMMARY:Book Talk with Charlie Scheidt and Kat Rohrer: “Inheritance: Love\, Loss\, and the Legacy of the Holocaust”
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: Rebecca Erbelding (Historian\, educator\, curator\, and archivist at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum) \n\n\n\nCharlie Scheidt was born in New York City to parents who had escaped Nazi-occupied Europe. Growing up in a close-knit\, German-Jewish refugee community\, Charlie witnessed firsthand the traumatic effects of persecution and exile. \n\n\n\nKat Rohrer was born in Vienna\, Austria and is an award-winning filmmaker\, who has produced\, written\, and directed numerous narrative films and documentaries. \n\n\n\nAfter his mother’s death\, Charlie Scheidt discovered a trove of historic documents that set him on a decade-long journey to uncover his family’s hidden past during the Holocaust. Joined by Kat Rohrer\, the granddaughter of a Nazi officer\, Charlie and Kat embarked on a quest to trace Charlie’s family’s harrowing efforts to escape from Nazi-occupied Europe. As they investigated\, they uncovered stories of survival and loss. Their journey takes them across generations and continents\, revealing a legacy of love\, loss\, and resilience. Grappling with questions about the long-lasting effects of inherited trauma\, the book asks whether it is possible to break free of a familial cycle. Inheritance: Love\, Loss\, and the Legacy of the Holocaust\, rooted in his family’s escape and the lasting trauma that followed\, is a powerful reflection on history’s enduring scars\, the importance of remembrance\, and healing across generations. \n\n\n\nZoom Registration \n\n\n\nReception and book signing will follow lecture. \n\n\n\nSponsored by the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, Clark University Hillel\, Temple Emanuel Sinai\, and Congregation Beth Israel

SUMMARY:Necrogeographies of the Marginalized Dead
DESCRIPTION:Clark University’s Kaloosdian/Mugar Chair in Armenian Genocide Studies\, Elyse Semerdjian\, in collaboration with Martin Christ of the University of Erfurt (Germany)\, will host the second of two workshops\, “Necrogeographies and the Marginalized Dead\,” at Clark University on September 17–18. \n\n\n\nThe first workshop was held at the University of Erfurt in May 2025 and was funded by the German Research Foundation through the Max Weber Institute. Building on those discussions\, the second workshop will continue to cross disciplinary and chronological boundaries\, bringing together scholars to examine how marginalized dead have been treated across diverse societies and historical periods. \n\n\n\nParticipants will workshop original research spanning Europe\, the Middle East\, Latin America\, South Asia\, Indigenous communities in the Americas\, and the remains and burial practices of enslaved Africans. Panels will explore topics including the spatial politics of death; necro power and state violence; burial rights and expulsion; genocide and warfare; memory and commemorative practices; and the role of power in the marginalization of the dead. \n\n\n\nPapers presented at the workshop will be collected for publication in a forthcoming edited volume co-edited by Elyse Semerdjian and Martin Christ. \n\n\n\nRegistration is required.  \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please contact Associate Director of the Strassler Center\, Robyn Conroy at rconroy@clarku.edu. \n\n\n\nSponsored by the Friends of the Robert Aram and Marianne Kaloosdian and Stephen and Marian Mugar Professor in Armenian Genocide Studies and the Max-Weber-Kolleg at the University of Erfurt
