DESCRIPTION:JEWISH GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF TORONTO \nand Classi Lectures\nPRESENT \nLITHUANIAN SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP (SIG) \nFeaturing Trudy Gold \nWednesday\, 11 Jan 2023\, 4-5 p.m. EST\nWednesday\, 18 Jan 2023\, 4-5 p.m. EST\nWednesday\, 25 Jan 2023\, 4-5 p.m. EST\nVIRTUAL MEETING: Join from Home\nVirtual doors open at 3:50 pm. EST. \nThe Jews of Lithuania\nJews had lived in Lithuania since the 14th century. From the 17th century onwards Vilna\nthe capital was known as the Jerusalem of the North\, with personalities such as Elijah of\nVilna (The Vilna Gaon).\nBy the 19th-century\, now under Czarist rule\, Lithuania was an important centre of\nJewish life – religious\, cultural\, and political. The pogroms between 1881 and 1914 led\nto thousands fleeing\, mainly to North America and over 40\,000 to South Africa.\nAfter the bloodshed of World War I\, Lithuania became independent\, with a Jewish\npopulation of over 150\,000 people. They were integral to the economic life of the\ncountry. However\, by the end of WWII over 95% of Lithuanian Jewry had\nbeen murdered both by Germans and their Lithuanian collaborators.\nThis three-week Series will examine Lithuania’s rich and tragic history and explore\nmany of the personalities whose lives were lived against momentous events. \nSession 1\nWe will examine the history of Jewish settlement in Lithuania and introduce some of the\ngreat religious thinkers\, through to the leaders of the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment)\,\nJewish socialism and Zionism\nSession 2\nUnder Czarist rule thousands of Jews sought refuge abroad – but what happened to\nthose who remained in newly independent Lithuania?\nSession 3\nThe Jewish community was caught between communists\, Nazis\, and Lithuanian\nfascists. This is the terrible story of the destruction of a great and unique civilization.\nNevertheless\, it is peppered with great incidents of heartbreaking heroism and the\nextraordinary story of the Japanese consul who saved thousands of Jews including\nstudents of the Mir Yeshiva. \nTrudy Gold was the former C.E.O. of the London Jewish Cultural Centre\, and one of\nthe founder members of the British delegation to the International Holocaust\nRemembrance Alliance. She has taught Modern Jewish History in schools and\nuniversities and for adult groups throughout the World.\nShe has coordinated teacher training in Jewish History and Holocaust Studies in\nEastern Europe and latterly in China.\nShe is the author of The Timechart History of Jewish Civilisation and the student\nresources “Understanding the Holocaust” and the digital resource “Lessons of the\nHolocaust.” \nJGS Toronto\, in conjunction with Classi Lectures is pleased to announce that this 3-part\nseries is a partnered program we are offering to its members.
