In a time of rising campus antisemitism, USC gives its highest honor to Holocaust survivors

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

As virulent antisemitism roils the nation’s college campuses in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war, USC is making a rare gesture to recognize the crippling effect of anti-Jewish hatred on society and the human spirit.

The university on Monday will give its highest honor — one that it has awarded only three times in its history — to Holocaust survivors. President Carol Folt will present the gold University Medallion to victims of the Nazi regime who have taken part in preservation programs under the Shoah Foundation, a USC center that movie director Steven Spielberg founded three decades ago to document audio-visual oral histories of the dwindling global survivor community.

The award comes at a sensitive time for USC, which — like University of California campuses and colleges across the nation — has grappled with protests, infighting and strife among faculty and students over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that intensified after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

Hamas militants killed about 1,200 people in Israel and took scores more hostage. Israel’s retaliatory war has killed 32,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials, and the United Nations warns that 2 million Gazans are nearing famine.

Research has shown a sharp increase in antisemitic incidents and sentiment across the U.S., in particular on college campuses. In survey results released last month, the American Jewish Committee found a quarter of college students and recent graduates said they hid the fact that they were Jewish or avoided speaking about Israel while on campus. The poll found that two-thirds of American Jews overall said they felt “less secure” over a year-to-year period.

UC regents debate stricter control of views on Israel and other topics on campus websites

University of California regents delayed action on a controversial proposal to control political opinion, such as criticism of Israel, from campus websites.

March 21, 2024

Folt said that universities are going through “a painful time” in dealing with hatred and discrimination against Jews as well as Arabs and Muslims.

“People are suffering,” said Folt, who cited the Shoah Foundation’s work in creating “important teaching tools” to combat hatred and foster inclusion. Over its lifetime, the foundation has amassed a digital archive of interviews with 56,0000 Holocaust survivors, including many of the 2,500 in Southern California out of the roughly 245,000 who are alive globally .

The recognition, Folt said, honors the foundation’s “major contribution to society” and the survivors “whose lives, whose pain, whose suffering, whose optimism” told through their stories “could better the world.”

Folt said the medal may be the only one she gives out during her presidency. The prize, last awarded in 2017, has previously gone to major donors, trustees and philanthropists whose names — Walter Annenberg, his daughter Wallis Annenberg, and Dana and David Dornsife — are synonymous with Los Angeles society and emblazoned on USC buildings. The USC website said the award pays tribute to those who have made “major contributions to the university.” Giving the medallion to Holocaust survivors with fewer ties to USC is a shift.

One survivor to be honored is 92-year-old Celina Biniaz of Thousand Oaks, who will speak at the Monday ceremony. Biniaz left the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp when she was 13. She survived the Holocaust because her mother and father worked for Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist who employed Jews to keep them safe from Nazis. The story of those Jews led to a 1982 book that inspired Spielberg’s 1993 film, “Schindler’s List.”

“Oskar Schindler gave me life and Steven Spielberg gave me a voice,” said Biniaz, who, after liberation, made her way to New York and Iowa before settling in California. Seeing her life reflected in the film spurred her to start sharing her story that she had until then kept from her son. Spielberg launched Shoah Foundation in 1994, and in 1996, Biniaz recorded her nearly 90-minute testimony for the group. A decade later, the growing organization relocated to USC, which houses its archive.

Thousands more survivor recordings have followed. The group has also enlarged its collection with documentation of other atrocities, such as the Armenian genocide, Nanjing massacre, the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, the killing and expulsion of Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar, and violence against Kurds in Northern Syria. Most recently, foundation researchers have recorded testimonies of Jewish and non-Jewish victims of the Oct. 7 attacks.

“Education about the Holocaust is not enough,” said Shoah Foundation executive director Robert J. Williams, speaking to the importance of seeing and hearing survivors. Although the foundation has expanded the kinds of atrocities it documents, he said capturing the experiences of Palestinians in Gaza is not in his “current mandate.”

“We have a responsibility to draw attention to the persistence of antisemitism ... and to understand antisemitism and the link to terror,” he said.

World & Nation

75 years after being freed from Auschwitz, he can’t stop going back

Fewer than 2,000 Auschwitz survivors are still alive. One is returning to Poland from Southern California for the fourth time.

Jan. 26, 2020

To those ends, Williams said, the group has emphasized educational programs for middle and high school students as well as those enrolled at USC. Last summer, the foundation took USC athletes to Poland to visit Holocaust sites and meet with Jewish communities.

In recent years — and especially since October — combating antisemitism and Islamophobia has become a major focus at college campuses, including USC, which has been rocked by several high-profile episodes involving accusations of antisemitism, anti-Zionism and hate speech.

USC maintains a page on its website on “ addressing antisemitism ” to explain efforts to make Jewish students feel more comfortable, such as an advisory committee of staff, students and local Jewish leaders launched in 2022 to address discrimination concerns.

Folt has also renamed campus sites tainted by their association with former leaders who were anti-Jewish and anti-Black. Last year, a track and field stadium was renamed for Black Olympian Allyson Felix after the name of a former USC track coach, Dean Cromwell, was removed. Cromwell was known for his racist views and preventing Jewish runners from qualifying for the Olympics. Folt also removed the name of former USC President Rufus von Kleinsmid , who had antisemitic views and supported eugenics, from a prominent campus building. It was renamed for Joseph Medicine Crow, a Native American alumnus who was awarded the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian recognition.

Her actions were widely hailed. But the university has faced criticism for not responding as forcefully to anti-Muslim hatred, which has also hit the campus in recent months. Hundreds of alumni sent a letter to Folt last fall calling her out for not doing enough to combat “growing racist, Islamophobic and anti-Arab sentiment.” Unlike its efforts against antisemitism, USC does not dedicate a part of its website to countering Islamophobia.

Jewish USC professor, who was barred from campus over Hamas comments, allowed to return

The Nov. 9 incident at USC over the Israel-Hamas war went viral online, prompting thousands to sign opposing petitions to fire and reinstate John Strauss.

Dec. 2, 2023

Recent research suggests there is also still work to be done on antisemitism. A December report from Brandeis University that looked at antisemitism and anti-Israel hostility at 51 U.S. colleges and universities with large Jewish populations ranked USC as having “above average hostility.” The university fared better than UC Berkeley, UCLA and UC San Diego. It was ranked equal to UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara and worse than San Diego State.

Local Jewish leaders said those findings and other research showing an alarming persistence of Holocaust denial and antisemitism on college campuses make USC’s award to survivors even more significant.

“When it comes to campus antisemitism, it’s almost like somebody dumped kerosene on a fire after Oct. 7,” said Jewish Federation Los Angeles President Rabbi Noah Farkas. He said centering the stories of Holocaust survivors can give students “a vision of the world we don’t want to see — where they understand that all hell on Earth is possible — and help citizens create a vision of a world they do want to see.”

David Wolpe, the rabbi emeritus of Temple Sinai in Los Angeles and a visiting scholar at Harvard Divinity School, said he viewed the Shoah Foundation’s work as a way to warn students and society at large about the “consequences of ideas.”

“The ability to manipulate ideas is a characteristic of intellectuals, which makes them valuable and dangerous,” said Wolpe. “Dangerous because we know that in Nazi Germany the intellectuals were the most fervent Nazis.”

Folt recalled that one her first acts after being appointed university president in 2019 was to visit the foundation to see its digital collection.

“I was deeply, deeply touched,” she said of the experience watching testimonies. “I took what I think is a solemn promise to do everything I could to ensure they were protected and saved.”

AirPods are Apple’s line of bluetooth earbuds. When AirPods were introduced in 2016, the market reacted with some skepticism.

56 Hayworth of the silver screen : RITA

Rita Hayworth was born in Brooklyn as Margarita Carmen Cansino. Her father was a flamenco dancer from Spain and so his daughter fell naturally into dancing. The family moved to Hollywood where Hayworth’s father set up a dance studio, and there worked with the likes of James Cagney and Jean Harlow. The young Hayworth had a slow start in movies, finding herself typecast because of her Mediterranean features. When she underwent extensive electrolysis to change her forehead and dyed her hair red, she started to get more work (how sad is that?). In 1941 she posed for that famous pin-up picture which accompanied GIs all over the world.

The screen on which one projects a movie is often referred to as a silver screen. The term “silver screen” has evolved to describe the film industry in general. The original silver screen was invented in the early days of motion pictures by a projectionist named Harry Coulter Williams. It comprises a tightly woven fabric on which was applied a silver layer (hence the name). The silvery surface provided a brighter picture from all viewing angles.

63 Elegant hairstyle, and what the circled letters give to 17-, 30-, and 47-Across? : FRENCH TWIST

“French twist” is the name of that updo hairstyle where a ponytail is twisted and lifted up to the top of the head and secured with pins or a clip. Not my forte …

67 L.L. Bean rival : REI

REI is a sporting goods store, with the initialism standing for Recreational Equipment Inc. REI was founded in Seattle by Lloyd and Mary Anderson in 1938 as a cooperative that supplies quality climbing gear to outdoor enthusiasts. The first full-time employee hired by the Andersons was Jim Whittaker, who was the first American to climb Mount Everest.

L.L.Bean (note the lack of spaces in the company name) was founded back in 1912 in Freeport, Maine as a company selling its own line of waterproof boots. The founder, Leon Leonwood Bean, gave his name to the enterprise. Right from the start, L.L.Bean focused on mail-order and sold from a circular he distributed and then from a catalog. Defects in the initial design led to 90% of the first boots sold being returned, and the company made good on its guarantee to replace them or give back the money paid.

68 __ chain : FOOD

A food chain is a series of organisms, the smallest of which gets eaten by a larger one, which in turn feeds a still larger one, etc. Food chains are considered part of a food web.

69 Detritus from the Digital Revolution : E-WASTE

72 Instrument near the end of the dictionary : ZITHER

The zither is a stringed instrument, one in which the strings do not extend beyond the bounds of the sounding box. That means that the instrument has no neck, unlike a guitar.

2 Touring technician : ROADIE

A “roadie” is someone who loads, unloads and sets up equipment for musicians on tour, on the “road”.

5 Sonnet preposition : ERE

A sonnet is a 14-line poem with a specific structure and rhyming scheme. A popular rhyming scheme for what is known as the Italian sonnet is ABBA, ABBA, CDECDE. Compare this with the Shakespearean sonnet which rhymes as ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GG.

7 Hieroglyph critter : SCARAB

Scarabs were amulets in ancient Egypt. They were modeled on the dung beetle, as it was viewed as a symbol of the cycle of life.

8 Snookums : HON

The term of endearment “snookums” comes from the family name “Snooks”. Snooks was a name used in Britain in the 1800s for some hypothetical, unknown individual (as we would use the name “Joe Blow” today).

18 __ Alto, California : PALO

The city of Palo Alto, California takes its name from a specific redwood tree called El Palo Alto (Spanish for “the tall stick”) that is located within the bounds of the city. The tree is 110 feet tall and over a thousand years old.

23 Ibuprofen target : ACHE

30 Streaker in the sky : METEOR

A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body traveling through space. Once in the atmosphere, the meteoroid is referred to as a “meteor” or “shooting star”. Almost all meteoroids burn up, but if one is large enough to survive and reach the ground then we call it a meteorite. The word “meteor” comes from the Greek “meteōros” meaning “high in the air”.

32 Denver-to-Wichita dir. : ESE

Denver, Colorado is nicknamed “Mile-High City” because its official elevation is listed as exactly one mile. Denver City was founded in 1858 as a mining town. The name was chosen in honor of the Kansas Territorial Governor at the time, James W. Denver.

Wichita, Kansas started out as a trading post established by Jesse Chisholm in the 1860s, a stopover on the famous Chisholm Trail. Wichita became one of the railheads on the Chisholm Trail, the end point of many cattle drives from Texas. As such, Wichita earned the nickname “Cowtown”.

37 Where busy bees buzz : APIARIES

Bumblebees aren’t very aggressive, but they can sting if they deem it necessary. Unlike honey bees, bumblebees survive the stinging action as their stinger has no barb. There are a few misconceptions about bumblebees. One is that a bumblebee should be incapable of flight based on the laws of aerodynamics, but this isn’t true. Another misconception is that the bee’s buzzing sound is caused by the beating of its wings. In fact, the sound comes from the vibration of its flight muscles. The bee can decouple those muscles from its wings, and so can make a buzzing sound without the wings moving at all.

40 Cube creator Rubik : ERNO

What was originally called the “Magic Cube” became better known as “Rubik’s Cube”, and was named for its inventor Ernő Rubik. Rubik’s Cube is the world’s biggest selling puzzle game, with over 350 million sold in just over 30 years.

46 Try to bean : THROW AT

To bean someone is to hit them on the head (on the “bean”).

48 Makes right : AMENDS

The verb “to amend” means “to change for the better, put right, alter by adding”. The related verb “to emend” is used more rarely, and mainly in reference to the editing of professional writing. Both terms are derived from the Latin “emendare” meaning “to remove fault”.

49 College military org. : ROTC

The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) is a training program for officers based in colleges all around the US. The ROTC program was established in 1862 when as a condition of receiving a land-grant to create colleges, the federal government required that military tactics be part of a new school’s curriculum.

51 “What Was I Made For?” singer Billie : EILISH

“What Was I Made For?” is a 2023 song co-written and recorded by Billie Eilish. It was written for, and used in, the soundtrack of the hit movie “Barbie”. For the song’s music video, Eilish wears clothes and a wig that resemble the appearance of the original 1959 Barbia doll. In a clever twist, Eilish suits at a school disk examining clothing for a doll. These aren’t Barbie outfits, and instead are styled like clothes that Eilish has worn in public in the past.

53 Roof timber : RAFTER

Rafters are the beams that slope from the ridge of a roof down to the tops of the supporting walls.

57 “Reader, I married him” governess : EYRE

“Jane Eyre” is a celebrated novel written by Charlotte Brontë, under the pen name Currer Bell. The love story is perhaps represented by the oft-quoted opening lines of the last chapter, “Reader, I married him”. There is a wonderful 4-hour television adaptation made by the BBC that I highly recommend to fans of the novel …

60 Bistro awning word : CHEZ

“Chez” is a French term meaning “at the house of”, which comes from the Latin word “casa” meaning “cottage” or “hut”.

Milne, Hundred Acre Wood is part of a larger forest, with Owl’s house sitting right at the center. Piglet also lives in the Hundred Acre Wood, in a beech tree next to a sign that says “TRESPASSERS W”. Piglet says this is short for Trespassers William, which is his grandfather’s name.

22 thoughts on “LA Times Crossword 14 Mar 24, Thursday”

Tough one for me with lots of false starts….Sonoma/SONORA, Scam/SHAM, Cafe/CHEZ..and some that I drew a total blank on. I never heard of HAMMERPANTS or ZITHER.

And don’t think that I didn’t notice this is the 2nd use of bubbles this week. Didn’t even attempt to find a theme!

I think I’ll go do the USA Today puzzle to feel better about myself

Another stupid FRENCH puzzle with incompetent Patti editing again. If you are so enamored with France, perhaps you could move there and edit English words in their CW puzzles, ay? I finished all except NW corner, one lookup. Riri? And, though I got it (cuz what else could it be?), 1A was misleading. I have never seen a sign outside a GROCERY store that said “Grocer Store”, so Market “leader” was a bad clue. Maybe someday we’ll actually get a puzzle created by an American that uses the English language…? Doubtful.

Gee wiz Terry – take a chill pill.

100% agree!!!! Grrrr

For 1A, I see it this way: “Leader” doesn’t refer to a word that comes before “store” or “market”. It’s a person who is the owner or manager of the store – the “leader”.

Agreed, Gail. I had taken the first approach of a word before “market,” but that wasn’t working. Eventually, I landed on using GROCER (leader of the supermarket), and that helped me finish that corner.

12:34, no errors

Theme is still not clear to me. How do you get HOMME (man) from hammerpants? Talk about clue 3D – really, really out there.

homme is the French word for man – the o is in the circle above in sonora – the second m is in the circle below “Adam” the letters are “twisted” in each circled theme. ecole is the French word for school – the c is in the circle above “cle” and the l is in the circle below “redeals – again the letters are twisted. chien is the French word for dog – the h is in the circle below aah and the e is in the circle above “spender” – again twisted.

Said another way, the French word for man is “twisted” into (around) Hammer Pants which were popularized by hip-hop star M.C. Hammer.

Huh? Oh. Tsk.

Spent too much time trying to figure out the French Connection.

No errors. The French thing didn’t really mean anything for me anyway.

My usual one wrong letter👎👎 Stay safe😀 Play ball⚾️⚾️

16:40 – clean.

And didn’t get the “twisted” theme at all, even after quickly reading Bill’s explanation. I just didn’t even want to know what it was … enough of these circles. Does anyone really like them (except Patti)?

It’s a shame bc I thought (with a few exceptions) nice puzzle.

@Pat – exact same false starts, etc as you. I think we “shared” the same computer.

36:53. I wandered about until I got the ‘light bulb’ for the theme.

@lou lu: still catching up on puzzles from my trip. No LA Times web site in Cuba. I was relegated to NYT puzzles for the week (on a phone, no less).

Another stupid FRENCH thing. Who cares. Agree with Terry – if France is that important ….

You know, I figure the French and Spanish clues make up for the fact that I haven’t watched TV or listened to popular music since the last millenium!

22:09 – one lookup for the “Umbrella” singer and kickname. The NW corner had me stumped with incompletes on 1A, 17A (had fixated on harem pants), 3D, 4D, and 24A. After about 7 min with no end in sight, I looked up the Rihanna clue.

False starts: ESE>SSE, APIAN__>APIARIES.

New or forgotten: “Uncut Gems,” “Umbrella,” RIRI, “What Was I Made For.”

The theme was easy to see, but I’m not familiar with homme and chien.

Mostly easy Thursday for me; took 14:33 with no peeks or errors. Had to dance around a bit, wait for crosses and make a guess or two, but it was fairly easy for a Thursday. I didn’t work with the theme, as I just had the NW left after reaching the bottom.

For the NW, I figured out 1D had to be ?SHARP and ADAM just fit together with Sandler and I knew RIRI, since I’ve seen the video a few times and PEST just fit. Also ROADIE and RARE were pretty much gimmes. I also knew there were 8 notes in a scale, so it probably was going to be G SHARP. I gave up on SINALOA and guessed SONORA and the rest was just pro forma.

I liked it and I always appreciate a new word of French (CHIEN for me) to learn. Compared to the trick in today’s WSJ (sheesh), this was much more manageable…

@Dirk … I agree with you about today’s WSJ. I eventually got it all, but the last two names (upper middle) required a lot of head-scratching.

I agree with who cares about the circles?

Ridiculously silly puzzle. Bad editing.
