in the holocaust exhibit and tribute here in washington and our own holocaust museum in houston, texas. i've been on the advisory board of the holocaust museum in houston, texas, participated in the holocaust ceremonies here. and so this is a very important legal remedy. while the united states is a signatory of the 200 tenezin declarations that they can claim items lost during the holocaust, they have faced barriers because of state statutes of limitations which in somecations would have expired even before the end of world war ii. under this legislation, individuals would have as much as six years from the time they discovered the identity and location of the piece of the art or other property or learned they may have ownership of such art or property to file such an ownership claim. the bill's findings has a sense of congress setting a statute of limitations will allow claims to be settled through alternative dispute resolution methodes that will produce more just and fair outcomes. the actual bottom line of this legislation as we were able to see and the academy award-winning actre

trauma of the holocaust, whose families experienced the holocaust, what they carry with them and make art from. >> we have a few photographs. show some of the photographs as we continue to talk about it. >> you know, this gives you a taste of some of the work in the show. there are so many artists from so many different backgrounds, not only jewish. there is works of african american artists, artists from south america. artists from the american south talking about the civil rights movement. so, in other words, it is an inclusive exhibition that looks at inherited memory across many different identities. but, of course, it starts with the jewish and then like a shofar opens out much wider. >> it is so incredible. lorrie was talking earlier about one of the unique features of the jewish museum it doesn't have a permanent collection, which means it gathers collections from everywhere else in the world but also initiates its own original collection at the museum itself. i'm wondering can you give us a little peek into the thinking process about what -- how do you come up with an original

i strongly believe that during the holocaust like people do not know about the holocaust andnd later on we found out and try to help them. but the current holocaust is happening in north korea. so we have to face and we have to open our ears to current holocaust and trying to stop this more tragic tyranny for the future. that is why we feel this is our mission and very important for us to tell her story. [applause] >> joseph can you talk about your goals, what your intent for the future and how to get there? >> the goal, yes and no, i think the problem is that i see many different paths but have a hard time deciding which ones i want to choose.ve and it changes every day, sometimes i feel like like working in like the best way to bring up the awareness of human like goir sometimes i feel like maybe i should serve in government and make policy recommendation. and sometimes i think of other things going to south korea or china to help others.. so i think it changes every time. and i'm fine with that while i'm in college. in terms of my dream, i think when i'm in my 50s or 60sy then i t

and we will recognize the holocaust, should they do very likely, one of the ways to recognize the holocaust was have a few exhibits, this is one of the exhibits stuck in the seller. we walk in and a photo exhibit of a photographer from israel, there are photographs of hungarian jews who survived, this isn't even a product of hungary, my father started translating for me the signage. the museum guard said you are talking too loud. you can buy that information in the gift shop. my father just lost it, addressing the hungarian -- if you did this, you look upon this, these were your neighbors, your countrymen. you destroyed them, look upon this. i didn't know where this came from, so deep inside my father, and he walked out, and well, well, it is understandable, and argued back and forth, we did a lot of arguing and my father said if they had a little book, thank you for putting jews in the seller. which is gallows humor. >> i just want to say one thing and i have to say you reference to richard everett on project, very tormented relationship, i really felt you showed her father and an amazingl

most nazis and holocaust perpetrators got out between 1946 and 1950. nobody -- nobody fled europe at the war's end in 1945. let me be clear, very clear, there was no u-boat submarine waiting for high-ranking nazis. with the berlin blockade, the communist takeover in prague and finally the war in korea, the cold war became hot, or very cold, depending how you want to see it. the new enemy was communism in general and the soviet union in particular. the persecution of nazi war criminals became less and less of a priority. as a consequence, nazi immigration came to a halt. most nazi perpetrators had little to fear after 1950 and easily managed to integrate themselves in postwar societies. the escape of holocaust perpetrators and nazis was ultimately only possible because the interest in punishment quickly decreased after 1946, 1947. the escape of nazi criminals and collaborators should therefore be seen in the contsks denaziification, war crime trials and the early cold war. it was not an anomaly but an integral part of this history. it also showed both t

his real name was not claimen but ikeman one of the organizers of the holocaust. and this is how he fled europe in 1950 with the help of a red cross travel document. i come to my third finding. in italy there was a close cooperation between the vatican aid commission for refugees and the red cross. the vatican commission for refugees confirmed the identity of refugees in the letter of recommendation to the red cross. the red cross then without further inspection issued your travel document. in the words of a red cross official, who can question the word of a priest? the vatican commission of refugees set up 20 subsubcommittees in order to manage the wave of catholic refugees from central and eastern europe. these refugee aid was financed largely by the catholic church of america. let's take a closer look at the leading figures in these subcommittees. head of the austrian section was the bishop, an anti-semite german nationalist and anti-communist who had dreams of christian national socialism. he considered himself -- do you have a photo? he considered himself a b

what is interesting is that in january 19 39, nobody thought he meant the holocaust. this did not get much attention as other parts of the speech. later hitler said that europe would solve the problem of jews the same way germany had -- five propaganda. tens of thousands of posters all over germany. this came out august 1941 after the invasion. this was when the holocaust was gearing up to it meant something different. there was that. hitler also spoke about how germany needed its colonies. they figured if he was worried about colonies, he would not invade his neighbors in the future. these are journalists and statesmen around the world are saying nasty things about germany. something must be done about it. it is necessary for our press to immediately respond. we must know who these men are who so desperately seek to provoke war. he did not mention roosevelt, but he did mention some of his aides. it set a propaganda directive. february 1939, roosevelt testifies to a closed session of the senate military affairs committee. it is leaked that he says america's borders ar

google has this issue where if you search under is the holocaust real, your top things come from holocaustiers, which are clearly completely wrong, and to me, silicon valley has always operated on the notion that technology will do good simply because it always gets better. in truth, we found in the recent generation of technology that that's not always the case. and that algorithms, in fact, don't do a particularly good job of acting in the public interest. and i don't know what's going to happen out of this. i don't know whether we're going to see regulation, i don't know whether we'll see the companies step in and recognize they do have a responsibility, but i think this whole issue with twitter and trump isn't just about trump, it's about, you know, all the other people who have been on there, who have essentially taken these platforms and use the them in ways they were not intended to be used in. >> like negotiating foreign policy. >> exactly, bingo. >> i think they just haven't recognized, a lot of these companies haven't recognized the power of their platforms. they think of themsel
