SUMMARY:Yom Hashoah Film Screening: For the Living
DESCRIPTION:In January 1945\, ten-year-old Holocaust survivor Marcel Zielinski made a treacherous 60-mile journey on foot from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Kraków\, Poland\, in search of his family. Decades later\, 250 cyclists from 12 countries retraced his path in an empathetic mission called Ride for the Living\, created and run by JCC Krakow. This powerful documentary draws parallels between Marcel’s harrowing experience and the cyclists’ journey\, sparking an urgent conversation about our ongoing struggle between dehumanization and empathy. \nThis special screening will include the attendance of Co-Director Tim Roper and Producer Lisa Effress who will introduce the film and participate in a Q&A after the screening. \nCOST: $14 GENERAL ADMISSION • $12 STUDENTS/SENIORS \nTICKETS \nPresented in partnership by the Minnesota JCC and the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas (JCRC).

SUMMARY:Holocaust Testimony in the Age of AI: History\, Memory\, and Ethics
DESCRIPTION:What happens to Holocaust memory when the last survivors are gone? As the generation of firsthand witnesses passes\, new technologies\, including AI-powered interactive testimony\, are transforming how we preserve\, access\, and engage with survivor stories. In this lecture\, Dr. Todd Presner will trace the history of preserving survivor testimony from earlier technologies to today’s AI-driven platforms\, exploring both the possibilities and ethical challenges of Holocaust memory in the digital age\, including what it means to use technology to “speak” for the dead. \nOwens Science Hall\, 3M Auditorium (room 150) – click here for campus map\nUniversity of St. Thomas\, St. Paul campus\nFree and open to the public – click here for registration (optional)\nclick here for visitor parking information \nTodd Presner\, Ph.D.\, is Chair and Professor of European Languages and Transcultural Studies at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, where he holds the Michael and Irene Ross Chair in the Humanities. A scholar of European intellectual history\, Holocaust studies\, and digital humanities\, he explores how computational tools can expand how we see\, read\, and listen to Holocaust testimonies. He is the author of Ethics of the Algorithm: Digital Humanities and Holocaust Memory (Princeton University Press\, 2024) and HyperCities: Thick Mapping in the Digital Humanities (Harvard University Press\, 2014)\, among other books. He co-edited Probing the Ethics of Holocaust Culture (Harvard University Press\, 2016) and received one of the first digital media prizes from the MacArthur Foundation. His current work investigates the ethical challenges and possibilities of preserving Holocaust memory in the age of AI. \n\n\nOrganized and sponsored by the Jay Phillips Center for Interreligious Studies\, Museum Studies\, Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, and the College of Arts and Sciences\, in coordination with the Faculty and Staff Innovations Fellows program.
