Through years of forensic and archival research\, Lower sought to uncover the identities of the photographed and in the process recovered new details about the Nazis’ Holocaust by Bullets in eastern Europe\, the role of the family unit in Nazi ideology\, and a rare case of rescue and postwar justice. \nWendy Lower is the John K. Roth Professor of History at Claremont McKenna College. She chairs the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and has published several books on the Holocaust in Ukraine including Nazi Empire-Building and the Holocaust in Ukraine (2005)\, and co- editor (with Ray Brandon) of Shoah in Ukraine: History\, Testimony\, Memorialization (2008). Her work on gender and the Holocaust\, Hitler’s Furies: German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields (2013) was a finalist for the National Book Award and has been translated into 23 languages. Lower’s The Ravine: A Family\, A Photograph\, A Holocaust Massacre Revealed (2021) received the National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category and was shortlisted for the Wingate Prize\,  and longlisted for a PEN. Lower just co-authored with Jonathan Petropoulos\, Himmler’s Last Days: The End of Nazi Terror\, appearing in 2027 with Mariner Books. \n  URL:/holocaust/event/the-holocaust-by-bullets-in-ukraine/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260916 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261205 DTSTAMP:20260813T180905Z CREATED:20260813T154942Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260813T180905Z UID:10000002-1789516800-1796428799@www.ramapo.edu SUMMARY:Landscape of our Memory DESCRIPTION:Witness and Living Memorial Tree \nGabriela Bulišová and Mark Isaac\nAn exhibition commemorating the “Holocaust by Bullets” and its more than two million victims. \nThe Landscape of our Memory is a haunting and original exhibition by Prague artists Gabriela Bulisova and Mark Isaac. It is part of a long-term project that addresses the “Holocaust by bullets” by commemorating the more than 2 million people who were murdered in or near their hometowns rather than in death camps. As every technique is rooted in the landscape\, the project has an environmental sensibility that suggests a relationship between genocide and ecocide. (More on the artists’ website). \nAbout Gabriela Bulišová and Mark Isaac\nAnthotype Portrait \n\nGabriela Bulišová and Mark Isaac are multidisciplinary artists who collaborate on intimate projects designed to bridge the gap between fine art and documentary practices. \n\n\n\nTheir work includes still photography\, video\, writing\, music and installation focused on the climate crisis\, diversity\, memory\, trauma and reconciliation. Their commitment to these issues is fed by a passion to engender meaningful changes in policy. Among other awards\, they have received four Fulbright grants to create projects on socially conscious issues around the world. Their diverse\, in-depth projects have been exhibited in Canada\, Cyprus\, Finland\, Siberia\, Slovakia\, South Korea\, the United Kingdom\, the United States\, and Ukraine. Their writing\, photographs\, and video have also been published by The Daily Beast\, Politico.eu\, Smithsonian Magazine; National Geographic\, ORF (Austrian television)\, and Narratively. Bulišová and Isaac are founding members of the Atlantika Collective.

For dust you are\, and to dust you shall return.” – Genesis 3:17-19  \n“What have you done? Hark\, your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground! Therefore\, you shall be more cursed than the ground\, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. If you till the soil\, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. You shall become a ceaseless wanderer on earth.” – Genesis 4:10-12* \nThe Landscape of our Memory questions the artificial separation of blood and soil. So too do the Edenic allegories\, which open in divine harmony. We meet the earth as the material source of human life and the physical locus of its oblivion. The first humans—the parents of us all—achieve discernment\, against their creator’s will. Humanity thus learns to distinguish (and therefore must choose) between good and evil\, and between the necessity of life and inevitability of death. No longer in balance with nature\, much less each other\, we sweat against the land\, suffer for new life\, and fear for our earthen bodies. Terror leads Cain\, the first human child\, to murder his younger sibling. The latter’s blood—his lifeforce\, in biblical terms—calls to the heavens from the very earth into which it should have naturally returned. Human hands rent the vestiges of prelapsarian harmony\, and so we carry the curse of alienation from the earth and each other.  \nOne by one\, the Nazis and their collaborators shot to death over two-million Jews and members of other targeted minorities\, notably Roma\, as they built an empire of blood and soil across Eastern Europe. They sought to resolve existential fear by rendering humanity into distinct races arranged along a hierarchy of moral worth. The intimacy of these murders scarred the earth\, like the mass graves they left behind. Generations later\, they reveal Cain’s lasting mark upon us. \nWith The Landscape of our Memory\, Gabriela Bulišová and Mark Isaac offer stunning glimpses of reharmonization. They help us sense the blood that still calls out from the killing fields of the Holocaust\, flows through nearby rivers\, and whistles among trees that witness but cannot see. Anthotype victim portraits\, created with flora from sites of mass murder\, reterritorialize the dead and imbue earthen materials with lives cut short. Through the artists’ edenic lens\, genocide and ecocide appear almost indistinguishable. The Landscape of our Memory points to the fundamental wholeness of our world and humanity\, at a moment of profound rupture—a reminder of the responsibility we collectively assumed when we endeavored\, in our imperfection\, to tell good from evil. \nThe Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at ý College of New Jersey (CHGS) is committed to helping its students and patrons approach humanity’s greatest horrors through the arts. As the preeminent Holocaust scholar and survivor Yehuda Bauer (1926-2024) indicated in Rethinking the Holocaust\, a handful of academic disciplines cannot fully satisfy our need to understand and work through the Holocaust (along with other genocides and mass atrocities). We also depend\, he explains\, upon the vision of the artist\, the wisdom of the philosopher\, and the care of the therapist. It is an honor to have worked with so many talented organizations and individuals to bring this exhibit to life. On behalf of CHGS\, I would like to thank Gabriela Bulišová and Mark Isaac for their kindness\, generosity\, and cooperation\, not to mention their artistry. We are grateful to Sydney Jenkins\, Robert Modafferi\, and the ý College Galleries. CHGS also owes special thanks to Irvin O. Moreno-Rodriguez and our colleagues at the Sara & Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center at Stockton University.  \n* Translation from the Revised JPS Edition (2023).

Later\, Złoczower took the name Eve Adams\, and toured America\, getting paid to sell radical leftist magazines. In 1925 she published a unique\, pioneering book\, Lesbian Love\, containing stories of women she had met. Her activism drew the Ire of US FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover\, ultimately leading to Adams’ deportation back to Poland and tragic murder in Auschwitz. Join Jonathan Ned Katz\, historian and author of the 2021 biography\, The Daring Life and Dangerous Times of Eve Adams\, for a conversation about Adams’ adventurous life\, his work to uncover her story as a vibrant resistor\, and what it means in today’s troubled social world. \nThis event is part of the 2026-27 Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and National Endowment for the Humanities Colloquium (NEH)\, “Storytelling in/as Resistance.” The CHGS at ý College is a proud cosponsor. \nThis will be a virtual talk (with an in-person option in Queens). We will post a Zoom registration link ASAP.
