INTRODUCTION

(Photo above, left: former City Hall of Sarajevo, where Franz Ferdinand stood only minutes before being shot. Photo taken in 1988. Photo right: the City Hall became the University of Sarajevo library, which was destroyed in 1992 by Bosnian Serb forces. Photo taken in 1993)    

Some historians say the twentieth century began in Sarajevo in 1914. We believe the twentieth Century also ended in Sarajevo in 1992. In between the Austrian Archduke’s assassination and the Bosnian Serb siege of Sarajevo, there is - among all the history, tragedy and epochal events - a Jewish story to tell, one that is relevant for all of us - Jews, Muslims and Christians, North Americans, Europeans, Israelis.

“The extermination of the past - by design, by neglect, by good intention - is what characterizes the history of our time. That is why the ahistorical memory of a marginal community that found itself in the whirlwind may yet be the best guide to our era."  Tony Judt, The New Republic, 1996

“Aliens everywhere and everywhere at home, lifted above national quarrels, the Jews in the twentieth century were the principal cosmopolitan, integrating element in Central Europe:  they were its intellectual cement, a condensed version of its spirit, creators of its spiritual unity...In their destiny the fate of Central Europe seems to be concentrated, reflected and to have found its symbolic image.” Milan Kundera, “A Kidnapped West, or Culture Bows Out,” Granta, 1984

Goals and objectives for participants

- to meet teachers and school directors from other countries and create partnerships that will produce videos and other projects together;

- to take part in workshops run by other teachers, who use digital storytelling, lessons that teach critical thinking, and student-directed pedagogies to meet curriculum requirements, including school, county, state and common core standards;

- to tour two of the great cities of Central Europe and add to your own knowledge base on 20th century Jewish, intellectual, and cultural history of Europe;

- to become familiar with Centropa’s photograph and interview databases, short multimedia films, and other website resources;

- to read and discuss The Hare with Amber Eyes, by Edmund de Waal, and The Lazarus Project by Alexander Hemon

Your Centropa Summer Academy Assignments: Each participant will create his or her own user profile on the Centropa page - we call it your Virtual Centropa Box (VCB) - where you can bookmark your favorite Centropa films, biographies, photos, and lesson plans; write notes for yourself and your students; and blog about your CSA experiences.

This year, we’re doing something different with the CSA blog: we will pair you with an educator from another country, and your blog assignment will be to dialogue with each other through your blog posts about your CSA experiences. We encourage you to respond to each other’s posts in your own blog. (NOTE: We will pair you with a fellow educator prior to the CSA and notify every participant by email.)

The VCB and the blog are where you share ideas and pictures with your students as you walk through these two great cities - and by being in dialogue with a teacher from another country, they will get two perspectives. The end result of both assignments is when you return to your classrooms, you will have a set of tools and new resources to use throughout the year.

Assigned books to read

The Hare with Amber Eyes, by Edmund de Waal. When the author, a sculptor in London, inherits 264 small Japanese figurines, he decides to trace how his family acquired them, following his family’s journey from Odessa, to Paris, and Vienna, their rise and dramatic fall.

The Lazarus Project, by Aleksander Hemon. The latest novel by a writer now compared to Nabakov, this hysterical, poignant novel will bring you closer in touch with Sarajevo and its citizens than any other we know.

Recommended

Old Masters, by Thomas Bernhard. This short novel is one long monologue, in which one elderly friend meets another friend each week in front of a Tintoretto in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. His friend rails at what perfectly horrible people the Austrians are. Written by an author who makes all other misanthropes seem like St Thomas Aquinas, this is the funniest and most brilliant book one can find on postwar Austria.

The Sleepwalkers, by Christopher Clark. Over the past century, more than 25,000 books have been written on the origins of the First World War. It seems another 25,000 have been written this year alone. There are several important books to recommend, but we suggest this very well written history as a starting point.

1941: The Year That Keeps Returning, by Slavko Goldstein. Slavko Goldstein is a publisher, journalist and political activist in Croatia. The book has been hailed as one of the best Holocaust memoirs in recent years, and 1941 is a combination of family memoir and meticulous research. We will be having dinner with Slavko Goldstein in Zagreb.

Sarajevo 1941, by Emily Greble. Her doctoral study - based on contemporary documents - on how Sarajevo’s multi-ethnic society reacted during the Second World War. Greble spoke at our summer academy in Sarajevo in 2011. Go to our home page, click on podcasts, and you can find her lecture online.

Logavina Street, by Barbara Demick (sometimes sold under the title Besieged). Then a reporter at the Philadelphia Inquirer, Demick spent the better part of a year during the siege of Sarajevo getting to know the residents of one narrow street in the city center. By focusing on each household, Demick brings the horrors, the boredom and the pain of what it was like to live in a city surrounded by rockets, mortars and snipers.

The Vertigo Years. Change and Culture in the West, 1900-1914, by Philipp Blom. As The Guardian wrote, this assessment of the gravity-eroding, giddying sweep of European cultural, social, political and spiritual change that permeated the first 15 years of the 20th century is an ambitious book. But Philipp Blom has pulled it off triumphantly.” During his meeting with our group on Friday, July 10 in Vienna, we will have the opportunity to discuss with him his thesis that war came only as a catalyst for permanent change to the already crumbling structure of Europe, rather than as an interruption to a mistakenly interpreted idyll.

Day three. Friday, 11 July

Dress code alert: lunch and dinner

NOTE: As we will head to Zagreb tomorrow, we recommend you buy any drinks or snacks you want for the bus ride (approximately 6 hours). Centropa will provide a bagged lunch and a bottle of still water on the bus.

9:15 Meet at the front entrance gate of the Upper Belvedere Museum (8 min walk from your hotel). If participants want to explore the gardens of the Belvedere (we highly recommend the free visit), please do so before 9:15. Make sure you are on time, as the Belvedere Museum will open its doors earlier for our group.

The Belvedere’s two magnificent palaces, the Upper and Lower Belvedere, were built in the 18th century as the summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy, who helped chase the Ottomans away from Vienna, and burned Sarajevo to the ground in 1697. He chose one of the most outstanding Baroque architects Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt (1668-1745). The palaces with their extensive gardens are considered to be one of the world’s finest Baroque landmarks. From 1894 to 1914, this was the home of Franz Ferdinand.

The Upper Belvedere houses Austrian and European art dating from the Middle Ages to the present day. At the heart of the displays of "art around 1900" is the world’s largest Gustav Klimt collection. The highlights are Klimt’s “Kiss” and “Judith,” and masterpieces by Schiele and Kokoschka. During our guided tour (one hour), we will view selected paintings by Klimt and other highlights of the Belvedere. At 10:30, we will meet the Deputy Director of the Belvedere, Dr. Alfred Weidinger, for a brief discussion.

11:00 Group walks from Belvedere to the Diplomatic Academy

Followed by brief discussion.

14:45 Dr. Ingo Zechner  will present the project "Ephemeral films". Drawing from the unique collections of the Austrian Film Museum, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for History and Society, this project has digitized, annotated, and made accessible 25 ephemeral films related to the history of the Nazi period and the Holocaust in Austria.

Tunnel Museum: the people of Sarajevo burrowed a narrow tunnel under the airport during the Bosnian-Serb siege of the city, which helped keep their city alive. It’s now a museum.

Public Cemetery: we will hand out to everyone a copy of Kurt Schork’s Romeo and Juliet Reuters’ article. Standing around the graves of Bosko, a Serb, and Admira, a Muslim, as well as the grave of the reporter who brought them fame in death, we will read this article aloud to each other.

17:15 End, followed by free night in Sarajevo.

Day eight. Wednesday, 16 July

8:45 Leave hotel on your own after breakfast and be in front of the Jewish Community Gallery "Novi Hram", next to the Old Synagogue, which houses the Jewish Museum.

9:00 Jakob Finci will walk us through an exhibition on the Djakovo concentration camp.

In December 1941, 2,500 women and children were deported from Sarajevo to Djakovo, a small town in Croatia. 556 of them died over the next six months. In July 1942, 2,000 women and children were then sent off, never to be heard from again. Here is what makes this story remarkable: the caretaker of the Djakovo Jewish cemetery, Stefan Kolb, secretly recorded where he buried the 556 victims, and recorded their names, cities and dates of birth. After the war, an individual plaque was placed on each grave.  That makes Djakovo unique. Every grave has a name. Jakob Finci will tell us how a Sarajevo Jewish community member, Lea Maestro, coordinated efforts to place new grave markers for these victims.

9:45 Return to Hotel Europe

10:00 Jakob Finci, President of the Inter-religious Council, will speak about the story of the legendary Sarajevo Haggadah, arguably the most famous Jewish book in the world.

10:30 The significance of civil society on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. A discussion with Ed Serotta, and our special guest today, Austrian Ambassador Martin Pammer, who has been serving in the Balkans and Central and Eastern Europe for decades.

Who brought down the Berlin Wall in November 1989? Who was that jumping on top of Felix Dzjerzinki’s statue in Warsaw that fall?  Who filled the streets of Prague a few weeks later? Who was standing in Bucharest in December and started yelling, “Jos Ceausescu!” (Down with Ceausescu!). Who continued to squeeze and hector the ruling Communists of Poland until they submitted to holding free elections?

Was it, as many Americans have been led to believe, all due to Ronald Reagan, or as many Poles believe, because of Pope John Paul II? Or could it have been the citizens of all these countries? They were the ones who came out into the streets—and as civil society—brought down the creaking, dying infrastructure of the One Party State.

We will have a discussion with Ambassador Pammer and Ed Serotta and review what happened in 1989--from May, when the Austrians and Hungarians cut the barbed wire separating their countries, to December, when the Communist regimes of Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria had all found themselves on the ash heap of history.

11:15 Coffee break

11:30. US Special Envoy Douglas Davidson is currently responsible for Holocaust issues, but Ambassador Davidson has long been one of the State Department's top Balkan experts and most recently, served as head of the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) delegation in Bosnia, where he oversaw the efforts of a team of 600 people. Previous to that, Ambassador Davidson served in Kosovo, Croatia and Serbia. Douglas Davidson will discuss with us what it has been like to try and stitch Bosnia back together after its long and brutal war. Ambassador Davidson will be joined by Ambassador Martin Pammer of Austria, who has served in Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Hungary and Bosnia Hercegovina.

12:30 Lunch.

13:30 Final meeting of professional networks. This session is a chance to learn what others have done during the CSA: their VCBs, the lessons they created, and the materials they’ve bookmarked to use during the upcoming school year. In the below groups, participants will share with each other their VCBs, and highlight one particular lesson they will teach in the coming school year. Then, the group will choose one VCB to share with all participants in a group presentation. We ask that you choose the VCB that has the most resources and/or is the most developed. The goal: share with each other ideas for how to use the VCB, as well as Centropa resources, in the 2014-2015 academic year.

1) US Jewish schools
2) EU Jewish schools
3) US public schools
4) European public schools
5) Israeli schools

14:30 Coffee break

14:45 Presentations of VCBs.

15:45 Final wrap up session.  Discussion about what we have learned, what we need to improve, and what we’re going to do when we return to our classrooms. Teachers will receive their certificate of participation in the Centropa Summer Academy.

17:30  End of program
