A specialist in Holocaust psychiatry and the daughter of two survivors from Poland, she is a frequent speaker at conferences, museums, and universities around the world. Her book, The Last Album: Eyes from the Ashes of Auschwitz-Birkenau<\/u>, uncovers the previously-unknown personal photos of Jewish deportees. As the founder and executive director of Eyes from the Ashes Educational Foundation, she uses the past to work toward creating a better future. Weiss earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester, two graduate degrees from Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s Annenberg School for Communications, and her doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania. Above all, she listens to stories told by survivors, often spoken out loud for the first time, and shares them with audiences worldwide.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re seeking to recapture your ancestral heritage or simply wish to discover a beautiful and poignant part of the world, this small group tour offers ample opportunity for enrichment, enlightenment, and enjoyment. Both leisurely and comprehensive, it provides a generous overview of four distinctly different\u2013and fascinating\u2013nations.<\/p>\n For further information, contact <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When Ann Weiss was in Krakow in July, she presented her book The Last Album Dr. Ann Weiss presented The Last Album: Eyes from the Ashes of Auschwitz-Birkenau<\/u> to our library when she came to Krakow to speak and attend memorial services, August 2018, on the 75th Anniversary of the deportation of Zaglebie Jews. <\/p>\n The Last Album: Eyes from the Ashes of Auschwitz Birkenau, written by Dr. Weiss, features the personal photos carried by Jews deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau in August 1943, when they believed they were going to be worked, not murdered. Unlike most photos associated with the Shoah, this book by Ann Weiss features how they LIVED, not how they died. <\/p>\n As far as anyone knows, these are the only photos of a whole transport to survive. They were hidden by members of the Jewish Underground. <\/p>\n We would like to express our gratitude.<\/p>\n Jakub Nowakowski GALICIA JEWISH MUSEUM <\/p>\n June-October 2017<\/span><\/strong> When a Holocaust survivor of Auschwitz complained that \u201cThere is no human face in this \u2018Evidence\u2019 exhibit\u201d, created by renowned Auschwitz expert, Robert Jan Van Pelt, a compromise was reached: an extra room was added to the exhibit which features photos from The Last Album: Eyes from the Ashes of Auschwitz-Birkenau<\/u>.

There will be memorial services, research exchanges and a pilot exhibition project to be replicated, in the future, throughout the Ukraine, in order to share for the first time, personal photos and stories of Jews who exist no more.\n<\/p>\n \nFor me, this trip has extra resonance because much of my own family was murdered in these pits in the Ukraine. To tell their story in the country where they once lived and flourished, and were then \u2018erased\u2019 without even a grave to mark the place, feels like a mission that goes far beyond the Holocaust research I usually do. And to add yet one more layer to this journey: 2013 is the 18th year since the death of my mom, Lunia Backenroth Gartner Weiss, in 1995. In this \u2018chai\u2018 year, I will be reading from her private memoir–both the stories of how her family lived, and how her family died–in the Ukraine where it all happened.\n<\/p>\n \nMay all their memories be for a blessing.\n<\/p>\n October 9-18, 2013<\/span><\/strong> – Holocaust conference in Harbin, China<\/p>\n June 19-22, 2013<\/span><\/strong> – Presentation at International Association of Genocide Scholars, “Memory of Humanity in the face of Inhumanity: Excerpt Private Memoir of Athalie Backenroth Gartner Weiss of Stryj and Schodnica, Poland” in Siena, Italy.<\/p>\n May 2, 2013<\/span><\/strong> – United Nations Holocaust Educators\u2019 Seminar, 9:30 am- 5:30 pm, United Nations Headquarters, New York, New York.<\/p>\n April 8, 2013<\/span><\/strong> – Yom Hashoah Presentation of Holocaust Stories, 7-9 pm, “Emanuel–Saving Lives through Poetry and Courage”, Penn Valley, PA Congregation Beth Am Israel.<\/p>\n February 2013<\/span><\/strong> — Limmud Conference, East Brunswick, NJ.<\/p>\n March 2013<\/span><\/span><\/strong> — Annual Scholars Conference.<\/p>\n June 2013<\/span><\/strong> — Association for Holocaust Organization Annual Conference, Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n June 2013<\/span><\/strong> — Preventing Genocide Conference, Sienna, Italy.<\/p>\n June 2013<\/span><\/strong> — Association of Jewish Studies, Jerusalem Israel.<\/p>\n July 2013<\/span><\/strong> — Yad Vashem Conference, Jerusalem, Israel.<\/p>\n January 7-9, 2013<\/span><\/strong> — Participation in Steven Spielberg\u2019s Shoah Foundation conference at USC, ‘Testimony, Prevention, Access and Education for the Twenty-First Century.’<\/p>\n \nNovember 18, 2012-March 15, 2013<\/span><\/strong> Photo Exhibition in Detroit.<\/strong> Premiere speech and reception at Holocaust Memorial Center at Zekelman Family Campus on Sunday December 2, 2012 at 7pm, 28123 Orchard Lake Rd. in Farmington Hills, Michigan 48334.
