Description:
Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage to learn more about the Warsaw Ghetto and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Dr. Zachary Mazur, Senior Historian at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, will discuss the history of the Warsaw Ghetto and its continued impact worldwide.
Part One: “A ‘Jewish District’ in the World’s Most Jewish City”
This session explores pre-war Warsaw—then the vibrant heartbeat of European diaspora culture—and its systematic destruction. The lecture will trace the forced creation of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940, analyzing how the sealing of its walls created an artificial landscape of extreme overcrowding, starvation, and disease. The lecture will dive into the social and psychological mechanics of survival inside the walls before pivoting to the tragic turning point of July 1942. In addition, they will examine the social mechanics of the mass deportations of over 265,000 Jews to the Treblinka extermination camp over a two-month period.

Description:
This webinar explores the value of survivor testimony in Holocaust memory. Participants will examine the motives, challenges, and enduring responsibility survivors navigate when offering firsthand accounts and how it shapes our understanding of the Holocaust and its impact on the world.
Led by USC Shoah Foundation's Lesly Culp, EdD, Director of Education, this session will equip participants with strategies that analyze the role of survivor testimony to inform memory of personal experiences during the Holocaust and interpret visual history testimony along with other primary sources to foster compassion and a deeper understanding of moral responsibility in the face of trauma.

Dr. Zachary Mazur, Senior Historian at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, will discuss the history of the Warsaw Ghetto and its continued impact worldwide.Part Two: “The Ghetto Fights Back: Uprising and Resistance”
The second session centers on the psychological shift from individual survival to collective defiance. In the wake of the 1942 deportations, primarily young healthy Jews remained in the ghetto. Despite their total despair, some continued to participate in political movements and planned armed resistance. We will chronicle the changing attitudes over the winter of 1942-43 and the shock of April 1943, when German forces attempted the complete destruction of the ghetto. A small contingent surprised the Germans with a forceful fight. Finally, this lecture will confront the complex, painful history of the “Aryan side” of Warsaw, examining the actions of Polish underground networks who provided aid, the passivity of the surrounding population, and the geopolitical isolation of the fighters.

Description:
Join Holocaust Museum Houston for a night with Dr. Pamela Toler, Author of The Dragon from Chicago: The Untold Story of an American Reporter in Nazi Germany.
"Today we face an alarming upsurge in the spread of misinformation and attempts by powerful figures to discredit facts so they can seize control of our political and cultural narratives. These are threats American journalist Sigrid Schultz knew all too well. The Chicago Tribune's Berlin bureau chief and primary foreign correspondent for Central Europe from 1925 to January 1941, Schultz witnessed Hitler’s rise to power and was one of the first reporters—male or female—to warn American readers of the growing dangers of Nazism. She was one of the last to leave Berlin before it was too late.
In The Dragon From Chicago, historian Pamela Toler tells the story of Schultz’s years spent courageously reporting the news from Berlin, from the revolts of 1919 through the Nazi rise to power and Allied air raids over Berlin in 1941. At a time when women reporters rarely wrote front-page stories, Schultz regularly reported the truth about Nazi Germany in the face of censorship and the threat of expulsion, internment, or death.
The Nazis called Schultz “that dragon from Chicago.” One of her fellow correspondents called her “Adolph Hitler’s greatest enemy.” Schultz herself claimed to be “just a reporter.” Her story is a powerful account of one woman standing up for truth in an era marked by the spread of disinformation and propaganda spawned by hate."

Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage to learn more about the Warsaw Ghetto and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Dr. Zachary Mazur, Senior Historian at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, will discuss the history of the Warsaw Ghetto and its continued impact worldwide.Part Three: “Legacies and Meanings of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising”
The final session investigates the afterlife of the Uprising and how an act of desperate military resistance became a foundational pillar of Jewish memory. Over the decades, the story of the ghetto fighters has been interpreted—and sometimes instrumentalized—differently around the globe. The lecture will contrast the shifting narratives across three distinct landscapes: in Poland, where the uprising is integrated into a broader history of national martyrdom and resistance against totalitarianism; in Israel, where it was heavily woven into the ethos of the “sabra” fighter and the state’s establishment; and in the United States, where it often serves as a universal symbol of the triumph of the human spirit against tyranny.

Description:
Americans today like to believe that the end of World War II brought a new era of tolerance in the United States. But antisemitism and racism went up-not down-after the war’s end. Violence broke out in cities across the country, and the number of organized hate groups more than doubled from 1940 to 1946. In this shocking account of a resurgence of White Supremacy in America, celebrated historian Steven J. Ross reveals how four key leaders-Emory Burke, J. B. Stoner, James Madole, and George Lincoln Rockwell-worked together to “finish the job Hitler had begun,” launching deadly attacks on Jews and African Americans and building a network of terrorists across the U.S. In response to this “war of hate,” three men-Arnold Forster of the Anti-Defamation League, George Mintzer of the American Jewish Committee, and James Sheldon of the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League-along with dozens of men and women, launched a multipronged effort: They infiltrated, monitored, and undermined these hate groups, putting their own safety on the line and scoring important victories that, today, have been all but forgotten.
Tracing the extraordinary work of these unsung heroes, The Secret War Against Hate provides a groundbreaking reconsideration of the legacy of the “Good War,” and essential reading on how America today can beat hate once again and build a just and united nation.
Steven J. Ross is Distinguished Professor of History and Director of the University of Southern California’s Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish Role in American Life. His recent book, The Secret War Against Hate: American. Resistance to Antisemitism and White Supremacy, has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award. He recently appeared with Rachel Maddow at a sold-out conversation at the 92nd Street Y in New York. His previous book, Hitler in Los Angeles: How Jews Foiled Nazi Plots Against Hollywood and America was named a Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History for 2018 and was on the Los Angeles Times Bestseller List for 23 weeks. It was also made into a documentary for French television, Leon Lewis, the Man Who Defeated the Nazis in Hollywood (English title). Ross’s Op-Eds and columns have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Politico and other major news outlets.

Description:
During the Holocaust, Christians across Europe made choices that shaped the fate of millions. Some were active and ardent Nazis and perpetrators. Others stood by in silence. A courageous few risked their lives to help those in danger. What drove these decisions? And how do we teach students to examine this complex moral terrain? Join Director of Holocaust Content & Pedagogy Jesse Tannetta to explore classroom-ready resources and effective strategies to help students examine how faith guided ordinary Christians and influential leaders, including the Pope, to act, and not act, in a myriad of ways, and how those roles were not always fixed but could shift based on circumstances, choices and agency.

Description:
Between 1939 and 1945, the Nazis forcibly imprisoned Jews in more than 1,100 ghettos across occupied Europe. For the teenagers who lived within those walls, the experience meant the sudden, violent loss of school, family routines, friendships, and the very possibility of a future. Their stories, told through diary entries, photographs, visual history testimony, and poetry, tell a complex narrative of suffering and death but also of love and hope.
Led by classroom teacher and Echoes & Reflections facilitator Tyrone Shaw, participants will deepen their understanding of the ghettos and learn effective strategies to incorporate the perspectives of young people into this chapter of Holocaust history, invoking a more nuanced understanding of life in the ghettos and fostering empathy in their students.
