Sackler Center for Feminist Art Brooklyn Museum 200 Eastern Parkway Brooklyn, New York For centuries, brutality against females in war and genocide has been considered an almost inevitable by-product of conflict. The Holocaust was no exception. Sexual abuse of Jewish women was not part of German genocidal policy, but nevertheless occurred. A new book, Sexual Violence Against Jewish Women during the Holocaust, documents the sexual violence against Jewish and other women that has been relegated to the fringes of Holocaust history or even denied. Now rape is an instrument of mass atrocities worldwide, from Bosnia to Rwanda, the Congo, and Sudan. On the occasion of the release of this revelatory book, this panel will speak about the connections and differences, asking: Can this new understanding of sexual violence during the Holocaust decrease and prevent sexual violence during other genocides? Please join our panelists: Dr. Elizabeth A. Sackler, Greetings Gloria Steinem, Moderator Feminist activist and co-founder of the Women's Media Center Sonja M.
