SUMMARY:Passage to Sweden
DESCRIPTION:Film screening and Q&A with Director\, Suzannah Warlick \nRescue & Escape – Passage To Sweden tells the lesser-known story of events occurring in Scandinavia and Budapest during WWII. It focuses on the heroic actions of ordinary people who saved the lives of thousands of Jews and fellow countrymen. \nBetween 1940-1945 the sheer luck of where you were living made a world of difference to the Jews of Scandinavia. For unique political and geographic reasons\, the Scandinavian Jews of Sweden\, Norway\, and Denmark had very different experiences. During the German occupation\, Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. Defying the occupying German forces\, and protecting fellow citizens\, spontaneous and dramatic rescue operations were conducted to save thousands of Jewish lives. Firsthand personal accounts also convey the extraordinary ways Swedish diplomats leveraged their political position to save Jews from within Hungary and Germany. \nSpecial attention is paid to the Norwegian resistance\, the citizens of Denmark\, the Swedish Red Cross\, Raoul Wallenberg\, and Count Folke Bernadotte. Risking their own lives\, their selfless acts of courage and compassion is a powerful example of how anyone can make a difference. \n \n  \nPLEASE NOTE- THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE AT USF ST PETE\, HARBOR HALL \n Register

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Beyond Barbed Wire
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.\n  \n  \n  \nBeyond Barbed Wire\, Imprisoned Without Trial: The Story of the Japanese Internment in WWII\, lecture presented by Denny Kato \nAnti-Asian violence: a modern-day occurrence? Not at all. Fear\, hatred\, and racism toward the Chinese and Japanese began in the mid 1800’s culminating with the incarceration of over 125\,000 Japanese at the beginning of World War II\, two thirds of whom were US citizens. From the perspective of a third generation Japanese American (Sansei)\, we will discuss the how\, when and why racism landed Americans in what is more accurately described as prison camps\, and what we can do to countermand the effect of anti-Asian violence and racism in America today. \nBorn and raised in Cincinnati\, Ohio\, Denny Kato is third generation Japanese American\, or Sansei. He graduated from Walnut High School\, received a BA from the University of Cincinnati in 1971\, and served in the US Army as a First Lieutenant in military intelligence. After retirement from restaurant management\, what started out for Denny as curiosity about his family history grew into thoroughly researching how people of Japanese descent were forced from their homes during World War II and placed in internment camps. Like the fifteen members of his family\, most were American citizens. \nDenny and his wife\, Janet\, have visited all ten of the internment camps from the Pacific West Coast to the rural Southeast of Arkansas. Since 2019\, Denny has lectured both live and via Zoom for the Art Institute of Cincinnati\, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the University of South Florida\, Carnegie Mellon University\, Rochester University\, the University of Cincinnati\, Japan America Society of Greater Cincinnati\, and Harriet Beecher Stowe House in Cincinnati. \n Register
