Listen to Dr. Holtschneider's talk here!
Dr. Holtschneider, University of Edinburgh, UK, reflects on the interpretation of the HOlocaust by museums and the championing of such exhibitions as educational opportunities for schools and the wider public. The two case studies focus on the question of how Holocaust exhibitions communicate the Jewishness of the majority of victims of the genocide.

Sr. Rosemary Nyirumbe is Project Coordinator for St. Monica’s Girls Tailoring Center in Gulu, Uganda. She is also the winner of December 2007 CNN Heroes Award. Sr. Rosemary has received international recognition for her extensive and courageous work with young girls victimized by violence and civil war in Uganda. Guerillas from the Lord's Resistance Army abducted many young girls and forced them to be soldiers and sex slaves. These young women found themselves largely outcast from society, many with young babies, and with very few practical skills to provide for themselves and their children. St. Monica's Girls Tailoring Center offers the young women a refuge, in addition to counseling, education, and vocational skills to help rebuild their lives and work toward self-sufficiency.
Part of the Research working Group Series, The Subaltern and the Poetics of War in Africa, led by Gilbert Doho.
Taking Folklore Seriously: John Henry, Steel-Drivin' Man, and a Story of Unmarked Graves

Scott Nelson's book "John Henry, Steel Drivin' Man" is available at the Case Western Reserve University Bookstore!
Scott Reynolds Nelson Biographical Sketch
New York Times Review of "Steel Drivin' Man"
Article on children's version of "Steel Drivin' Man"
Article by Scott Reynolds Nelson in "Reviews in American History" journal
Was John Henry a real man or folk legend? Using a peculiar mix of sources – folklore, penitentiary records, court documents, and engineering notes in Cleveland's own Western Reserve Historical Society – Professor Nelson recounts the story of a nineteen-year-old black man arrested under the infamous Black Codes of Virginia who died hammering his way through the Lewis Tunnel on the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. The song “John Henry” both mourns such shameful and unrecognized deaths and remains a depiction of black strength and pride. By looking beneath the song's surface, we find that one of America's most enduring legends rests on a tragic real life story of unmarked graves.
Musician Bruce Springsteen describes Scott Nelson's award-winning book Steel Drivin' Man as “a tribute and requiem to the real steel drivin' men who built this country.” Nelson, Legum Professor of History at the College of William and Mary, is the winner of the 2007 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award. Made possible with thanks to the generous support of the Cleveland Foundation, and co-sponsored with Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities, and Western Reserve Historical Society, in collaboration with The Lit.
