Join VCPI for our next digital "lunch & learn" on Thursday, April 28 at 12pm with author Mary Fillmore for a presentation on memory, mental health, and resistance for Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day).

Contrary to the image that most Dutch people resisted the Nazis, only a small percentage actively participated—many of them women delivering messages or smuggling children to safety. What would they say if they could speak to us now? How are their decisions and struggles relevant today? We will also explore the tragic story of the January 1941 evaluation of the "Apeldoornse Bos" - a Jewish psychiatric institution located in Apeldoorn, Holland - as well as the legacy of the medical profession and the Holocaust.

Fillmore will explore how people decided to resist, what they actually did, and what the results were. We’ll discuss how their courage can inspire people with a broad range of views. This program is free and open to all, and sponsored by Vermont Humanities.
