Screaming Silence with Filmmaker Ronnie Sarnat and Dr.
Rochelle G. Saidel

September 28, 2018

Screaming Silence shines light on a topic many historians have avoided: sexual violence
during the Holocaust. First aired in April 2015, this groundbreaking film includes
testimony—shared publicly for the first time—by Israeli women and men who were
sexually abused as children while in Nazi concentration and labor camps. In
documenting these stories, the film honors the silenced survivors – and also helps to
combat the shame and stigma surrounding sexual violence that lingers today. Following
the screening, filmmaker Ronnie Sarnat was joined in discussion by Dr. Rochelle G.
Saidel, founder and Executive Director of Remember the Women Institute. The
conversation was moderated by Jessica Neuwirth, Distinguished Lecturer and Director
of the Human Rights Program at Roosevelt House.

The Uncondemned with Filmmaker Michele Mitchell and Justine
Masika Bihamba

October 26, 2018

In collaboration with Donor Direct Action, the Human Rights Program hosted a
screening of The Uncondemned, which tells the story of a group of young international
lawyers and activists who fought to have rape recognized and prosecuted as a war crime
at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. It also highlights the stories of the
Rwandan women who courageously came forward to testify. Following the screening,
Jessica Neuwirth, Distinguished Lecturer and Director of the Human Rights Program,
moderated a discussion with filmmaker Michele Mitchell and Justine Masika Bihamba,
who founded Synergies des Femmes, a Congolese coalition dedicated to helping victims
of sexual violence.

The Murder and The Silence: Uncovering Lithuania's Holocaust
Collaboration

November 26, 2018
In collaboration with the Russian and Slavic Studies Program
and the Center for Jewish Studies, the Human Rights Program
hosted a conversation with Ruta Vanagaite, who co-authored
Mūsiškiai (English title: Our People: Discovering Lithuania's
Hidden Holocaust). Vanagaite was compelled to write the book
after she discovered that her own relatives were complicit in
the murder of Lithuanian Jews during the World War II era.
Since its publication, Mūsiškiai has stirred controvers,
influencing public discourse about Nazi collaborators and the
search for truth among many young Europeans. During the
discussion, Vanagaite was joined by Leah Garret, Professor
and Director of Jewish Studies; Yasha Klots, Russian and
Slavic Studies Professor; and Jessica Neuwirth, Human Rights
Program Director.

Free Speech-Hate Speech Discussion with Ruby Sales

December 3, 2018

The Human Rights Program collaborated with SpiritHouse Project, a non-profit
organization founded by activist Ruby Sales, to host a discussion among scholars,
lawyers, journalists, and activists on hate speech-free speech. Human Rights Program
students were invited to observe the discussion. Navi Pillay, former UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights and President of the UN International Criminal
Tribunal for Rwanda, joined the conversation as a special guest. Some of the questions
explored during the conversation included the following: Did the framers of the U.S.
Constitution intend for freedom of speech to have no limits or protections? Are there
lessons to be learned from the role of the media in the Rwandan genocide? Does the
abstract concept of freedom of speech take into account the possible correlation of hate
speech and mob and individual violence?

class and arranges site visits to a wide range of non-profits and NGOs working on human
rights issues.

Following is a list of the guest speakers who met with students in the Fall 2018 HR 260 Human Rights

Program and Curricular Developments

On November 26, 2018, the Program launched its bi-weekly newsletter, Your Day, named for
Eleanor Roosevelt’s nationally syndicated daily column, My Day, published from 1935 to 1962. The
newsletter shares human rights news, upcoming events and other available resources and
opportunities, and includes a guest column in each issue written by students and faculty on various
topics of interest.
The HR 260 Human Rights Internship Seminar, taught by Program Director Jessica Neuwirth, was
restructured in order to help Human Rights Certificate students understand their individual
internship experiences in the broader context of the human rights movement. Through a
combination of discussions with leading human rights advocates, site visits, writing assignments, and
role play exercises in class, students are exposed to numerous substantive human rights issues with a
view to developing their strategic skills as well as a critical analysis of various aspects of the human
rights movement. 
We began the process of reviewing the Program’s HR 200 Introduction to Human Rights course
with a view to ensuring that instruction in all sections of the course provides students a consistent
baseline of knowledge around key human rights concepts, norms, instruments, and institutions.
We added a public presentation component to the course where students are expected to present
and defend their papers. We also offer a Top Capstone Thesis Award to the student with the best
paper (as selected by members of HRP’s Policy and Curriculum Committee).    
The Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 elective course lineup reflected the Program’s intention to ensure
that students are able to choose from a range of courses that are situated at the intersection of theory
and practice. All special topic courses are taught by highly-qualified instructors who are very well-
regarded in their respective fields.
