The Making of a Danish Rescue Film: A Day in October
Join the Holocaust Center for a virtual interview moderated by Lori Weintrob with A Day in October director/producer Kenneth Madsen and writer Damian Slattery.
Denmark was the only occupied country to actively resist the Nazi deportation of its Jewish citizens. On the 77th anniversary of the historic Danish Rescue that saved 7,200 Jews, we revisit the film A Day in October, 30 years after its filming on location. This dramatic and compelling rescue and resistance narrative brings one Danish family’s story to life.
This program is made possible through a partnership between the Museum of Jewish Heritage and Wagner College Holocaust Center.
Pre-registration required. For more information or to register visit mjhnyc.org/events/.
Virtual Student Sharing Circle: Who Am I?
Led by Volunteer Chaplain Holly Bonner, this Sharing Circle series allows students to virtually gather and discuss how we can cope with the challenges presented by the pandemic.
Week 2 - Friday, October 2:
Who am I?
If you dwell on the fear you feed it. When you control your thoughts, you regulate the emotion. And, like anything else, this takes practice and intention. Ask yourself, “Who am I?” Do you want to be strong for others during difficult times or part of the fear pile-on? Do you want to lead real change around the issue or be part of the status quo? We can’t control the virus, but we can control our response to it.

The Relationship between Social Identities and Mobility (via Zoom)
This workshop, led by Charles T. Brown, MPA, founder and managing principal of Equitable Cities, LLC and senior researcher with the Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University, will include a candid and interactive discussion on the real and perceived relationship between social identities (e.g., income, disability, race, ethnicity, class, and gender) and mobility.
Discussion will highlight how this relationship, or lack thereof, influences public outreach and engagement practices, planning, policy and program development in the creation of walkable, bikeable communities. Students will have an opportunity to create strategies and recommendations to better incorporate social identities into active transportation planning practices and research.
