SUMMARY:Diversity Roundtable Discussion #2: Creating and Sustaining Equitable Admissions

SUMMARY:Holocaust Remembrance Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear survivors’ stories first hand. Moderated by Lisa GOLDIN Rabinowicz ’59\, the panelists are Susanne KLEJMAN Bennet ’55\, Joan L. KENT Finkelstein ’54\, Eve KANNER Kugler Jan. ’49\,  and Edith TENNENBAUM Shapiro ’52\, M.D. \nWe will hear a short discussion by the panelists\, and then we will break into smaller groups to spend some time with one of the survivors to get more details on her stories. Then we will switch\, so everyone will have a chance to spend time with two survivors. Come and hear these stories first hand\, and keep remembering.  \nTo participate in the event\, please sign up for our Zoom meeting here\, or view the discussion on Facebook Live by going here. \n\n\n\n\n\nModerator: Lisa GOLDIN Rabinowicz ’59 \nLisa has an Honors Degree in Linguistics and Anthropology\, Univ of London\, work on masters of Mass Communications. Bachelor of Science\, University of Florida. She worked in TV news\, and now performs and participates in playreading. \nShe was born in Uzbekistan after her parents escaped from a shtetyl in Bela Rus Poland.  After World War II\, she was taken to DP-Displaced  Persons- in Germany. \nShe arrived in America on the last passenger voyage of USN ship\, Ernie Pyle\, a wonderful future and voyage for her small surviving family. She is a very grateful immigrant to the USA.   \n\n\n\n\n\nSusanne KLEJMAN Bennet ’55 \nI was born in 1938 in Warsaw\, the year before the Germans invaded Poland.  In 1940 my family was forced into the Warsaw Ghetto. Three generations of my family\, from a baby of 4 months through grandparents in their 60s were murdered in the Ghetto and in the gas chambers of the Treblinka extermination camp. I and my parents\, separated during part of the war\, survived to eventually come to the United States in 1950 and begin a new life. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nJoan L. KENT Finkelstein ’54\, Ph.D. \nI arrived in NYC as a four-year-old in February 1941 completing an epic ten-month journey from Warsaw\, Poland\, with a 40-day voyage aboard an American ship from India.  \nWith a close family of storytellers and a large treasure trove of letters\, photographs\, and documents (including false papers) retrieved by my parents from their nine steamer trunks\, I reconstructed and discovered how they decided and then were actually able to leave Nazi-occupied Poland. Traveling through Italy and the Middle East\, we obtained immigration visas for America\, and finally reached American soil before their rapid expiration. Beyond the narrative of events\, my story also underlines those elements of luck\, luck again\, resilience\, and determination that underlie the survival of all of us who can now tell them. \n\n\n\n\n\nstrong>Eve KANNER Kugler Jan. ’49 \nI was born in Halle an der Saale\, [East] Germany. If you have trouble locating it\, look for Magdeburg or Leipzig. \nMy family\, parents\, older sister Ruth\, younger sister Lea and I went on waiting list for visas to Palestine in 1935 and were still waiting on Kristallnacht\, Nov. 9-10\, 1938 when Nazis created havoc in our apartment\, arrested my father and sent him to Buchenwald. The windows of his department store were smashed and our synagogue was torched. Based on a forged visa for France my father was released from Buchenwald after six weeks. Mother and children escaped to France in June 1939.  \nWith outbreak of World War II\, France interned my father; my mother placed us in a Jewish children’s home near Paris where she became a cook. When France surrendered\, we were evacuated to a children’s home near Limoges controlled by Vichi France. In 1941 Ruth and I joined a small Kindertransport to NY where we became foster children. With the roundup of Jews in 1942 the Resistance hid Lea. My parents survived in French concentration camps. The family was reunited in New York in 1947 after I became a Hunter student.

SUMMARY:2021 Women History Month celebration
DESCRIPTION:This Monday\, March 8\, 2021\, 7-8pm ET: 2021 Women History Month celebration. Sponsored by the Diversity Committee \nDr. Khadijah Miller and Dr. Ernestine Duncan ’79 will discuss their book chapter\, “Negotiated Respectability\, the Looking Glass Self and Mrs. Michelle Obama.” The book\, Michelle Obama and the FLOTUS Effect: Platform\, Presence\, and Agency explores the role of the first African-American First Lady and considers her impending legacy on the American political landscape and society. \nMichelle Obama intentionally defined her role and herself in ways that countered and complemented the images and works of previous First Ladies. Together\, as FLOTUS and President of the United States\, Michelle and Barack Obama reframed the view and evidenced the possibility of a strong Black man and Black woman\, co-existing and thriving individually and collectively. Her initiatives\, which were consistent with other first ladies\, were established to improve the quality of life for all Americans. The strategies she used were crafted to influence and empower rather than denigrate and divide. Through her accomplishments as a woman\, a mother\, a Black woman\, and FLOTUS\, Michelle Obama has stood straight in the ‘crooked room’ of America\, and American culture is evermore changed. \nIf you missed the discussion\, a video recordng is available on YouTube.
