Author Wendy Lower, Ph.D.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wilkinson College\u2019s Rodgers Center for Holocaust Education<\/a> began its fall lecture series<\/a> on September 21st with celebrated scholar and author Wendy Lower, Ph.D., professor of history and director of the Mgrublian Center for Human Rights<\/a> at Claremont McKenna College, who spoke on her newest monograph, The Ravine: A Family, A Photograph, A Holocaust Massacre Revealed<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhotographs of suffering or violence can move audiences and propel humanitarian and social justice,\u201d Lower underscored. Through her research and writing on the photographs of Holocaust victims, Lower seeks to restore to the victims their humanity, portraying them as subjects rather than objects of history. The Ravine is a testament to this commitment.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lower spoke on the difficulty in identifying the victims of the Holocaust who were killed in mass shootings because there are very few records of their deaths. She addressed how such victims are \u201cmissing, missing from our memory, missing from our textbooks.\u201d Contextualizing the images of Holocaust victims by investigating the identities of the photographed was Lower\u2019s main motivation in The Ravine<\/i>. \u201cFor me, this was the greatest challenge\u2026 and ethically what I really wanted to achieve,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

The focal point of The Ravine <\/i>is a single photograph taken in the Ukrainian town of Mirapol on \"\"<\/a>October 13, 1931. In the photo, Ukrainian Nazi collaborators and German Nazi officers are seen shooting at a Jewish mother and her son who stand at the edge of a pit. Images taken in the midst of shootings during the Holocaust are extremely rare, and Lower first encountered the picture while performing archival research.<\/p>\n

In her study of the image, Lower said she began by isolating small parts of the photo with digital technology to analyze the details. This method progressively offered her more and more information with which she could use to track down the victims. Lower would continue this detective pursuit for ten years, researching through countless pieces of archival evidence, and even visiting Monipol in 2016 to speak with witnesses of the Ukrainian massacres.<\/p>\n

Lower\u2019s extensive research led her to discover the location of the massacre, the identities of the Nazi officers in the image, and the identity of the photographer behind the camera. While she was ultimately not able to confirm the victims\u2019 names, Lower\u2019s research did lead her to discover a specific testimony record written by Jewish Holocaust victims in Ukraine around 1931 that entails the names and a picture of who may be the mother and young boy pictured in the photograph central to The Ravine<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Scholarly work on the images of Holocaust massacres is an area of controversy as some scholars argue that the study of such images disparages the Jewish families who would not have wanted their final moments captured in such a manner. Lower grappled with this controversy during her work, but she also felt strongly that the continuous research on atrocity photographs serves to honor victims\u2019 memories because it increases awareness of the tragedies they underwent. She concluded by stating, \u201cWhen we turn away from [atrocity images,] we promote ignorance\u2026 When we stop researching them, we cease to care about historical justice and the threat of genocide.\u201d Lower affirmed that her work serves to fight against \u201cwhat the genociders sought to achieve: the total erasure, suppression, and distortion\u201d of the Nazi regime\u2019s systematic killings of the Jewish people.<\/p>\n

Dr. Marilyn Harran<\/a>, Director of the Rodgers Center, praised Dr. Lower\u2019s lecture, stating that \u201cThrough her presentation, Dr. Lower enabled us to become her companions in the quest to identify the people in a once anonymous Holocaust-era photograph. Her lecture\u2014and her book\u2014remind us that within every seemingly anonymous image there is evidence waiting to be discovered, evidence that transforms an image from an object to a subject of history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tatum Doke (\u201822, Global Communications major) shared that \u201cDr. Lower’s work in finding the identities of the victims photographed draws on the importance of digging deeper into the unknown, even if the question is never fully answered\u2026 Attending the event gave me a new perspective on what it means to be a historian and reinforced the importance of continuing research and education to keep the presence of absence alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rodgers Center for Holocaust Education\u2019s next event will be an Interfaith Service of Remembrance for Kristallnacht on November 9 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
