SUMMARY:History Revealed: An Interrupted Childhood\, Part Two
DESCRIPTION:An Interrupted Childhood:\nOral Histories of Polish WWII Survivors in Minnesota\, Part Two\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, April 6\, 2023\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the Minnesota Polish Medical Society\, the East Side Freedom Library and the Roseville Library.\n \nIn conjunction with a photographic exhibition in Landmark Center\, March 5-April 30\, 2023 \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting\, register on Zoom here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nThe stories of three Polish survivors of WWII will be shared – oral histories of their experiences as refugees\, and that of other Polish immigrants to Minnesota. In conjunction with the photo exhibition\, “An Interrupted Childhood” shown at Landmark Center and at the Minnesota State Capitol\, join us and learn the stories of Maria\, Wiktor\, and Adam\, shared histories that shed light on the forgotten children of WWII. Adam Han-Gorski will be the survivor in attendance at this program. \nIf you have missed Part One of this program it will be available on the RCHS YouTube channel. \nWWII shaped the course of Polish history in the 20th century and redefined its borders. It started in September 1939 when Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union jointly invaded Poland. The two invaders effectively dismembered the country. Poland suffered immense losses; nearly six million Polish citizens\, including three million Polish Jews\, were killed. \nThe stories of WWII survivors Adam\, Anatol\, Leonard\, Magdalena\, Maria\, Walter\, and Wiktor are part of the MPMS project An Interrupted Childhood: Polish WWII Survivors in Minnesota. During this phase of the Kalejdoskop Polski MN project\, we collected the oral histories and photographs of Polish Minnesotans who have been through the horrors of the war: a forced laborer in the Third Reich\, deportees to Siberia\, a Polish Army Cadet\, a Volhynia Massacre survivor\, and a Holocaust survivor. These stories represent different fates of Poles during WWII and its aftermath. The collected narratives teach us lessons of suffering\, survival\, resilience\, and gratitude are truly humbling and inspiring. \nThis two-part program and exhibition represents part two of the Kalejdoskop Polski MN project initiated in 2020 by the Minnesota Polish Medical Society that aims to document the stories of contemporary Polish immigrants and refugees who settled in Minnesota. The lead artist for Kalejdoskop Polski MN is Grzegorz Litynski\, a professional documentary photographer (www.litynski.com). This body of work forms a traveling photographic exhibition. Katarzyna Litak curates the exhibition. \nExhibition Organizer & Curator: Katarzyna Litak\, MD\, is MPMS President\, Kalejdoskop Polski\, MN project manager\, exhibition designer\, and curator. She conducted oral interviews for the project. Originally from Poland\, she continued medical training at the University of Minnesota. She is also a practicing physician. \nHistory Witness: Adam Han-Gorski was born to a Jewish family in Lwów\, Poland (now Ukraine)\, in 1940. Adam survived ghettos in Jaworów and Kraków and was saved by his Polish nanny Katarzyna. At age five\, he reunited with his parents\, who survived the Holocaust. After the war\, the family was forcibly relocated from Lwów\, which became part of the Soviet Union\, to Upper Silesia\, Poland. Later Adam lived in Israel\, Austria\, Germany\, and the United States. Adam became a renowned violinist and a concertmaster who performed with many orchestras worldwide\, including the Minnesota Orchestra. \nOral histories will be shared from:  \nMaria was born in Tiutków\, Poland (now Ukraine)\, in 1939. In June 1940\, Maria was deported with her mother and brother by Soviet Security forces (NKVD) to a work camp in Siberia when she was 18 months old. She was separated from her mother during the deportation and stayed behind with her aunt. Tiutków (Ukrainian name: Тютьків\, Tiutkiw) is a village in the Tarnopol region\, around 100 miles southwest of Lviv. It is located in Volhynia and became a part of the Soviet Union in 1945. After the war\, Maria was deported to Poland from the village where she grew up. It was now a part of the Soviet Union. She grew up behind the Iron Curtain. Therefore\, she could not reunite with her mother and brother Anatol in the United States until March 1957\, when she was 18 \nWiktor was born in Warsaw in 1938. After the Germans and the Soviets jointly invaded Poland\, Wiktor’s family moved out of Warsaw because Wiktor’s father was threatened with arrest by the Nazis. Wiktor spent the whole German occupation in a small village in eastern Poland. After the war\, the family returned to Warsaw. Wiktor became a television documentary filmmaker. In 1980\, he became involved in the Solidarity movement. After martial law was imposed in December 1981\, he lost his job and was pushed out of the country by the communists with a one-way passport. Since 1983\, Wiktor has lived with his family in Minnesota. \n

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Strike!
DESCRIPTION:Strike!: Twenty Days in 1970 When Minneapolis Teachers Broke the Law\nDr. William D. Green\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, March 23\, 2023\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library & Roseville Library \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting\, register on Zoom here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nThe program will focus on Dr. Green’s new book which recreates twenty days in April 1970 when a then-illegal strike by Minneapolis’s public school teachers marked a singular moment of cultural upheaval—and forever changed the city’s politics\, labor law\, educational climate\, and the right to collective bargaining. \nWhen viewed from our turbulent times\, the Minneapolis of fifty years ago might seem serene\, but Minneapolis schoolteachers of the day remember it quite differently. It was\, author William D. Green said of their recollections\, as if they’d been through war. Since the inception of public education in Minnesota\, teachers were expected to pursue their vocation out of civic spirit\, with low wages\, no benefits\, and no job security. Strike! describes the history and circumstances leading to the teachers’ extraordinary action\, which pitted the progressive and conservative teachers’ unions against each other—and both against the all-powerful school district\, a hostile governor and state legislature\, and a draconian Minnesota law. Capturing the intense emotions and heated rivalries of the strike\, Green profiles the many actors involved\, the personal and professional stakes\, and the issues of politics\, law\, and the business of education. \nInformed by interviews\, firsthand accounts\, news reports\, and written records\, Strike! brings to life a pivotal moment not just for Minneapolis’s teachers but for the city itself\, whose government\, school system\, and culture would\, in a complex but inexorable way\, change course for good. \n \nWilliam D. Green is the M. Anita Gaye Hawthorne Professor of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies and professor of history at Augsburg University. He is author of The Children of Lincoln: White Paternalism and the Limits of Black Opportunity in Minnesota\, 1860–1876 and Degrees of Freedom: The Origins of Civil Rights in Minnesota\, 1865–1912 (both winners of the Hognander Minnesota History Award) and Nellie Francis: Fighting for Racial Justice and Women’s Equality in Minnesota\, all published by Minnesota. He is vice president of the Minnesota Historical Society. \n“At a time when teacher strikes\, education reform\, and public sector unionism are once again at the center of public debate\, we need this deeply researched and sharply narrated account of the 1970 Minneapolis teacher strike more than ever. And no one is better prepared to tell that story than the renowned historian\, professor\, and former superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools\, Bill Green.” —William P. Jones\, author of The March on Washington: Jobs\, Freedom and the Forgotten History of Civil Rights  \n“Teachers’ unionism and teachers’ strikes emerged as central topics in American industrial relations in the past decade. William D. Green weaves personal experience with scholarly research to explore the roots of these developments half a century ago. The result facilitates a conversation between the past and the present\, which sheds new light on both.” —Peter Rachleff\, co-executive director\, East Side Freedom Library \n“An inspiring read that shows the hard-fought gains for schools. A frustrating read that shows how many of the problems facing schools have new names and new decorations but are at the core the same as they’ve always been. William D. Green’s book is an important and enthralling history that could not feel more relevant to today.” —Tom Rademacher\, author of It Won’t Be Easy: An Exceedingly Honest (and Slightly Unprofessional) Love Letter to Teaching  \nPlease check out our partner Subtext Books\, located in downtown St. Paul and online at: https://subtextbooks.com/ for these and other History Revealed titles.

Dr. Adam Bledsoe will examine the activism of different African American organizations and individuals throughout the 20th century and how their actions have led to the establishment of institutions we encounter on a daily basis. The presentation argues that by studying the analyses and political struggles of those who came before us\, we can better understand ourselves and the places in which we find ourselves.\n\n\n\n\nAdam Bledsoe was born and raised in the Twin Cities and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography\, Environment & Society at the University of Minnesota. His intellectual interests are concerned with Black Diasporic political struggles.\n\nThe Ramsey County Historical Society\, in partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\, the Ramsey County Roseville Library and other community organizations\, will present a series of programs and events during 2022 that will center on the experiences of indigenous people\, African Americans\, and immigrants in Ramsey County from the 1800s through the current day. programs which focus on the too often lost\, erased\, forgotten or misrepresented histories and stories of Ramsey County and the state of Minnesota. We expect these presentations to enrich and complicate our understanding of the development of the county and the state that we call home. \n\nFeatured image: Black Lives Matter protest in Minneapolis\, Wikimedia Commons\, credited to Andy Witchger\, dated July 2016.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Farmer-Labor Movement: A Minnesota Story
DESCRIPTION:History Revealed: The Farmer-Labor Movement: A Minnesota Story\nDocumentary Film Screening & Discussion\nwith Filmmakers Randy Croce\, Tom O’Connell\, and Anna Kuharjec\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, November 10\, 2022\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library & Roseville Library\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting\, register on Zoom here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nFor questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nThe East Side Freedom Library\, Ramsey County Historical Society\, and Roseville Public Library invite you to a special session of History Revealed: The Farmer-Labor Movement: A Minnesota Story. This event will include a screening and discussion of a new documentary film.\n\nThe Farmer-Labor movement founded the most successful third-party in U.S. political history. This progressive movement elected candidates and advanced political change in Minnesota from 1917 until its merger with the Democrats in 1944\, to form the DFL\, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. The documentary portrays this history through the voices of Farmer-Labor leaders and their descendants\, as well as contemporary historians and activists. Animated segments bring the personal stories of Farmer-Labor men and women to life\, while songs from the period convey the spirit of the movement. \nWhile the movement’s ideas and achievements still affect Minnesota’s political and social fabric\, its history is largely unknown. The documentary addresses that awareness gap and points out how Farmer-Labor goals and the challenges still resonate today. \nPlease join filmmakers Randy Croce\, Tom O’Connell\, and Anna Kuharjec for a conversation after the screening. \nRandy Croce has been a documentary photographer and video producer since 1976. His PBS broadcast shows include Clouded Land\, If Stone Could Speak and Who built Our Capitol? He worked at the U of M Labor Education Service\, where he produced shows with workers and their unions. \nTom O’Connell is a retired professor of Political Studies from Metropolitan State University and served as founding chairperson of ESFL’s Board of Directors. He has taught and written about social movements with a special focus on MInnesota’s Farmer-Labor and Progressive Populist History. \nAnna Kuharjec has a Ph.D. in History from the University of Illinois and is teaching in the History program of the Dougherty Family College of the University of St. Thomas. \nFree and open to all. \n\nThis presentation is part of our 2022 series “Making Minnesota: Natives\, Settlers\, Migrants\, and Immigrants.” \nThe Ramsey County Historical Society\, in partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\, the Ramsey County Roseville Library and other community organizations\, will present a series of programs and events during 2022 that will center on the experiences of indigenous people\, African Americans\, and immigrants in Ramsey County from the 1800s through the current day\, programs which focus on the too often lost\, erased\, forgotten or misrepresented histories and stories of Ramsey County and the state of Minnesota. We expect these presentations to enrich and complicate our understanding of the development of the county and the state that we call home.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Vikings in the Attic
DESCRIPTION:Vikings in the Attic: In Search of Nordic America\nwith Eric Dregni\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, October 20\, 2022\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library & Roseville Library\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting\, register on Zoom here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nFor questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nGrowing up with Swedish and Norwegian grandparents with a dash of Danish thrown in for balance\, Eric Dregni thought Scandinavians were perfectly normal. Who doesn’t enjoy a good\, healthy salad (Jell-O packed with canned fruit\, colored marshmallows\, pretzels\, and even olives) or perhaps some cod soaked in drain cleaner as the highlights of Christmas? In Vikings in the Attic\, Dregni tracks down and explores the significant—and quite often bizarre—historic sites\, tales\, and traditions of Scandinavia’s peculiar colony in the Midwest. It’s a legacy of the unique—shots of turpentine for the common cold—but also one of poor immigrants living in sod houses while their children attend college\, the birth of the co-op movement\, and government agents spying on Scandinavian meetings hoping to nab a socialist or antiwar activist. \n \nEric Dregni is the author of 20 books including Vikings in the Attic\, Weird Minnesota\, Never Trust a Thin Cook\, Let’s Go Fishing!\, For the Love of Cod\, and Impossible Road Trip. He wrote about his 15-year experience running one of the Concordia Language Villages in You’re Sending Me Where? Dispatches from Summer Camp. As a Fulbright fellow to Norway\, he survived a dinner of rakfisk (fermented fish) thanks to 80-proof aquavit\, took the “meat bus” to Sweden for cheap salami with a busload of knitting pensioners\, and compiled the stories in In Cod We Trust: Living the Norwegian Dream. \nHe is Professor of English\, Journalism\, & Italian at Concordia St. Paul and\, in the summer\, dean of the Italian Concordia Language Village\, Lago del Bosco. He lives in Minneapolis with his wife and three kids. \nMaking Minnesota: Natives\, Settlers\, Migrants\, and Immigrants\nThe Ramsey County Historical Society\, in partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\, the Ramsey County Roseville Library and other community organizations\, will present a series of programs and events during 2022 that will center on the experiences of indigenous people\, African Americans\, and immigrants in Ramsey County from the 1800s through the current day. programs which focus on the too often lost\, erased\, forgotten or misrepresented histories and stories of Ramsey County and the state of Minnesota.
