SUMMARY:Day of Remembrance 2022: The TEAACH Act
DESCRIPTION:The TEAACH Act: What it means for Illinois\, educators\, and the Japanese American community\nSunday\, February 20th | 2:00pm-3:30pm CST \nChicago History Museum\, 1601 N. Clark Street \nFREE\, PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED – Click here to register \n\n\nSigned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19\, 1942\, Executive Order 9066 led to the incarceration of 120\,000 Japanese Americans during WWII.  Every year\, the Japanese American community in Chicago comes together to commemorate EO9066 as a reminder of the fragility of civil liberties in times of crisis and the importance of remaining vigilant in protecting the rights and freedoms of all. \nDay of Remembrance 2022 features a variety of speakers celebrating the passage of the Teaching Equitable Asian American Community History (TEAACH) Act.  Signed into law on July 9\, 2021\, the TEAACH Act makes Illinois the first state to mandate that Asian American history be taught in public schools.  Join us to learn why the TEAACH Act matters\, how the task of implementation is being addressed\, and how the Japanese American community is contributing to the effort.  The program will feature a showcase of classroom-ready resources for teaching about EO9066 and incarceration through a Chicago lens. \nChicago-based Ho Etsu Taiko will take the stage to perform a new work composed especially for Day of Remembrance 2022.  Ho Etsu Taiko blends the deep-rooted culture of Japanese American drumming with influences that inspire and celebrate the diversity of their performing members. \nMasks and vaccinations required.  There will be no refreshments served at this year’s event. \n  \nTHIS EVENT IS SPONSORED BY THE CHICAGO JAPANESE AMERICAN COUNCIL\, CHICAGO JAPANESE AMERICAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY\, JAPANESE AMERICAN CITIZENS LEAGUE – CHICAGO CHAPTER\, JAPANESE AMERICAN SERVICE COMMITTEE\, AND JAPANESE MUTUAL AID SOCIETY OF CHICAGO

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Operation Payback
DESCRIPTION:What We Didn’t Know Then\, What We Know Now\nProf. Luciuk is a renowned scholar in the field of Ukrainian studies specializing in the history of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada and the United States. He is a full professor of political geography at the Royal Military College of Canada.\n\nProf. Luciuk will discuss a book\, titled “Operation Payback: Soviet Disinformation and Alleged Nazi War Criminals in North America.” The book is a compilation of approximately 40 commentaries written by Prof. Luciuk in the past four decades\, along with documentation related to the topic of how Jewish and Ukrainian communities in the United States and Canada were manipulated with disinformation and set against each other since the 1960s in an overt plan to set both communities against each other.\n\nThe key document of the book is the translation of the KGB memorandum written in October 1985 that outlines Operation Payback (Retribution)\, which confirms that the KGB had several directorates created to advance Jewish demands that Nazi war criminals be brought to justice by alleging that many of these war collaborators were living among Ukrainian emigres. These allegations were repeated so often that they were presumed to be true.
