SUMMARY:Understanding the Shifting Dynamics in the Middle East: Current Arab Alliances in the Middle East and How Palestinian Terror is Linked to These Alliances
DESCRIPTION:Current Arab alliances in the Middle East reflect a complex web of relationships influenced by political\, economic\, and security interests. Countries like Saudi Arabia\, the United Arab Emirates\, and Egypt have increasingly focused on countering Iranian influence in the region and fostering closer ties with Israel\, particularly through initiatives like the Abraham Accords. \nHowever\, the presence of Hamas\, a designated terrorist organization\, complicates these dynamics. Hamas\, which receives support from Iran and has aligned with certain non-Arab allies\, poses a challenge to Arab states seeking stability and normalization with Israel. The group’s militant actions against Israel are often seen as undermining peace efforts in the region\, prompting some Arab nations to cautiously distance themselves from Hamas while others maintain a level of support\, reflecting the diverse political landscapes and historical grievances within the Arab world. \nAbout the Speaker: A Brooklyn native\, Avi Ben-Hur moved to Israel in 1983. From 2003-2008 Avi was Director of the Archaeological Seminars School for Israeli Tour Guides. In 2008 Avi participated in re-writing the curriculum of the National Guiding courses for the Israeli Ministry of Tourism. As a “Scholar in Residence\, Avi has lectured\, taught and facilitated workshops in the US\, Warsaw\, Prague\, Berlin and Greece. From 1996-2000\, Avi taught in Yad Vashem’s International School for Holocaust Studies. As a guide\, Avi has specialized working with organizations focusing on political issues (such as AIPAC & CIJA)\, inter-faith programs and Holocaust studies. At Present\, Avi is an examiner for the Israeli Ministry of Tourism Licensing Boards and is the ongoing scholar in residence of Classrooms Without Borders.

SUMMARY:Music in Theresienstadt: A Conversation with Anna Hájková
DESCRIPTION:As we commemorate the 86th anniversary of Kristallnacht\, the November pogrom\, this event connects the outbreak of public anti-Jewish violence in Nazi Germany with the remarkable cultural production in the Theresienstadt ghetto. In the three and half years of its duration\, the 140\,000 inmates in Terezín played\, composed\, and listened to music\, which provided comfort\, spare time\, and a framework to make sense of the terrifying conditions in the camp. Historian Dr. Joshua Andy and Theresienstadt expert Dr. Anna Hájková will explore the many meanings of music in Theresienstadt. During the program\, members of the Three Rivers Young Peoples Orchestras (TYRPO) who visited Terezin this past summer will perform music and talk about their experience. \nHolocaust Center of Pittsburgh’s annual Kristallnacht program is generously supported by Edgar Snyder. \nCo-sponsored by the Winchester Thurston School\, University of Pittsburgh Jewish Studies Program\, University of Pittsburgh German Department\, and Carnegie Mellon University Department of History
