Starts Dec 6, 2023 at 3:00pm Ends Dec 6, 2023 at 4:00pm On December 7th, 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor drawing the United States into World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to it as a day that would "live in infamy", but what was the extent of its impact? What were the ramifications of this event, if any, on what was transpiring across Nazi-occupied Europe? Join Dr. Joel Zisenwine, head of Yad Vashem's Righteous Among the Nations Department, to explore this fascinating topic. This webinar connects to the Complicity and Responsibility unit on the Echoes & Reflections website. Click for more info |

A Town Known As Auschwitz
A Town Known As Auschwitz
6:00pm - 8:00pm
(2h)
General
Starts Dec 12, 2023 at 6:00pm Ends Dec 12, 2023 at 8:00pm Auschwitz is known to many as the definitive symbol of the Holocaust. However, the town of Oświęcim, Poland, in which the former Nazi killing center is located, has a rich Jewish history of its own that predates the camp. Before the war, Jews made up 60% of the town’s population. Today, there are no Jews living there. Please join us for a presentation with Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation Scholar Maciek Zabierowski and Echoes & Reflections Facilitator Todd Hennessy for an introduction to "The Town Known as Auschwitz" and the significance of the Jewish Community of Oświęcim/Oshpitzin/Auschwitz before the Holocaust and today.
