As part of FIT’s Holocaust Remembrance Day events, Dr. Atina Grossmann, professor of history at the Cooper Union, will present “Rethinking a Refugee Crisis: Jewish Survivors in Occupied Germany—and Refugees Today.” Learn gripping and unforgettable details about the reappearance of traumatized Jewish refugees in Allied-occupied Germany in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust when Grossmann chronicles the hunger, disease, and homelessness of these refugees.
