“…To critical leadership scholars, Rabbi Jonas serves as an exemplar of how leaders from marginalized communities are often forgotten by history due to oppressive erasure (e.g. Sinclair, 2013;Jones, 2009). Feminist scholars may note that the argumentation employed by Jonas to advocate within a patriarchal system required her to leverage an understanding of gender as binary and essentialist to explain the advantageous nature of "traditionally feminine" qualities for leadership.…”

PurposeLeadership educators have the responsibility to help students hear the stories of those who may otherwise be forgotten. There is great value to unearthing the stories of those who have been cast aside due to neglect or malice, both historically and in contemporary society. Given the interdisciplinary nature of leadership education, we benefit from a historical lens which helps us to understand who we are and where we come from. One transformative leader whose story impacts us immensely and whose story we believe would benefit leadership educators to learn about is the story of Rabbi Regina Jonas, the first woman to be ordained as a Rabbi.Design/methodology/approachThe article offers a rich narrative account of experiences, people and lessons learned when considering an impactful leader.FindingsThe often untold story of the first known woman rabbi shifts the male dominated narrative of leadership, particularly leadership in religious communities.Originality/valueThough we have never met Regina Jonas, her story has shaped our study and practice of leadership and her triumphs live on in the spirits of women who lead with resilience, tenacity and fortitude today.

Recent cinematic evocations and transnational academic interest in the Holocaust and World War II atrocities have raised a sensibility to the affective qualities of historical trauma and generated questions about the mediation of archival sources in a post-witness era. László Nemes' award winning feature film (Saul fia/Son of Saul, 2014), as well as Diána Groó's poetic documentary (Regina, 2013) and Jan Komasa's war documentary (Powstanie Warszawskie/Warsaw Uprising, 2014) were inspired by visual and written archive documents produced by eyewitnesses of the historical events evoked. Associating these three films to the 'empathy mode' of memory transmission, described by Aleida Assmann (2015, 32-37), this article argues that these films use a special strategy of contacting the 'sense memory' (Bennett 2003, 28-29) of traumatic events, preserved in the black and white, silent archival photographic and filmic documents. The author states that the movies perform three different types of 'post memory work' to recall and audiovisually remediate the deep, sensual aspects of these past traumas.
