FANTASIES OF WEALTH AND
THE MADNESS OF GENOCIDE
The Holocaust was not only a war of genocide against
the Jews, but also a massive operation designed to
transfer their wealth and property to the Nazis and
their allies. However, prosperity and well-being are
intangibles that cannot be seized and transferred.
They depend on a social fabric that is destroyed in
the process of ethnic cleansing. Rather than enriching
themselves and their societies, the perpetrators of
genocide in Germany, Poland, Hungary and elsewhere
destroyed the constructs on which wealth and well-being
are based. This lecture by PROFESSOR RONALD W.
ZWEIG will examine the case study of Hungarian
Jewry during the Holocaust and will examine what
happened to the wealth of that community. See page 5
for more about Professor Zweig.

JOURNEY IN AND OUT OF TIME
A child of Holocaust survivors and born in 1946 in
a Displaced Persons camp in Germany, MYRNA
RIBACK has spent her life hearing stories of lost
families and homes. Her childhood stories were all
about the world of light and love her parents inhabited
before the War and the darkness that descended when
the Nazis marched into their lives. On October 5, 1998,
after both her parents passed away, she embarked on a
journey that took her not only to Eastern Europe but
also to the tiny villages of Lithuania where her parents,
her grandparents and all her extended family were
born. Almost all perished in the Holocaust. Through
photographs and slides her husband took and the story
she has written, Myrna has reconstructed a life she had
only heard about, and a family she could mourn. She
also found herself and her place in a world where she
had always felt displaced. Following her talk, she will
be available for questions.
