Description:
In 1942, Nazi doctors subjected Jadwiga Dzido to barbaric “medical”
experiments at the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Germany. She was
among more than 70 female prisoners, mostly Polish, treated as human
guinea pigs. Survivors resisted in a number of ways, including using a
camera smuggled into the camp to document their abuse. The secret photos
and trial testimony from Jadwiga and others helped bring some of the
perpetrators to justice.
Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum during Disability Awareness Month to learn about the innocent women subjected to experiments in the name of science.

Description:
Author Speaker Series Co-presented with Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio:
By The Grace of The Game by Dan Grunfeld
When Lily and Alex entered a packed gymnasium in Queens, New York in
1972, they barely recognized their son. The boy who escaped to America
with them, who was bullied as he struggled to learn English and cope
with family tragedy, was now a young man who had discovered and secretly
honed his basketball talent on the outdoor courts of New York City.
That young man was Ernie Grunfeld, who would go on to win an Olympic
gold medal and reach previously unimaginable heights as an NBA player
and executive. In By the Grace of the Game,
Dan Grunfeld, once a basketball standout himself at Stanford
University, shares the remarkable story of his family, a delicately
interwoven narrative that doesn't lack in heartbreak yet remains as
deeply nourishing as his grandmother's Hungarian cooking, so lovingly
described. The true improbability of the saga lies in the discovery of a
game that unknowingly held the power to heal wounds, build bridges, and
tie together a fractured Jewish family. If the magnitude of an American
dream is measured by the intensity of the nightmare that came before
and the heights of the triumph achieved after, then By the Grace of the Game recounts an American dream story of unprecedented scale. From
the grips of the Nazis to the top of the Olympic podium, from the cheap
seats to center stage at Madison Square Garden, from yellow stars to
silver spoons, this complex tale traverses the spectrum of the human
experience to detail how perseverance, love, and legacy can survive
through generations, carried on the shoulders of a simple and beautiful
game.

Description:
Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio annually hosts its PATCHES – Others Deemed Dangerous or Inferior program, which highlights other groups outside of the Jewish community victimized by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
This year's program will feature The White Rose Society . This group of German university students, led by Hans and Sophie Scholl, distributed leaflets and painted anti-regime slogans on walls around Munich, that urged fellow Germans to rise up against Hitler and the Nazis. In the end, they were able to distribute thousands of pamphlets, reaching homes across Germany.
"Our current 'state' is the dictatorship of evil. We know that already, I hear you object, and we don't need you to reproach us for it yet again. But, I ask you, if you know that, then why don't you act? Why do you tolerate these rulers gradually robbing you, in public and in private, of one right after another, until one day nothing, absolutely nothing, remains but the machinery of the state, under the command of criminals and drunkards?" - Third Pamphlet from the White Rose Society
Featuring Keynote Presentation by Dr. Jason Dawsey
Panel Discussion with Dr. Jason Dawsey, Dr. Roger Barnes, and Dr. Alberto Giordano

Description:
What
is antisemitism? Where did it come from? Many students grapple with
these questions when undertaking a study of the Holocaust. In Echoes & Reflections' new
online activities for students, Explore the Past, Shape the Future, they
explore this question and the role antisemitism played in the escalation of
the Holocaust. This
student activity is accessed through USC Shoah Foundation’s iWitness
platform, allowing educators to assign activities to students, track
progress, and assess learning via provided rubrics. Students are also
able to interact and share their learning with teacher and classmates.
Prior to attending this webinar, Echoes & Reflections recommend that you create an iWitness account to enhance your experience during the presentation. Simple, free iWitness registration can be done here. Learn more about creating an iWitness group for your students here.
Register for the Antisemitism: Educating About the Dangers of Hate webinar here.
Echoes & Reflections' webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust
history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support

Description:
Following the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg in 1945, the United States conducted twelve additional trials against other significant members of the Nazi regime. One of these trials involved 24 defendants of the notorious mobile killing units (Einsatzgruppen) for their role in murdering Jews, Communists, and countless others during Nazi Germany’s campaign against the Soviet Union.
Join the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center with John Geiringer, a partner at Barack Ferrazzano law firm and a Co-Director of the Center for National Security and Human Rights Law at Chicago-Kent School of Law, as he delivers a compelling account of how the prosecution and defense responded to the challenge of prosecuting mass murder in a world where the concept of “genocide” was still in flux. He will also examine the men who perpetrated some of the most brutal crimes of the Holocaust, and explore lessons we can learn from the Trials today.
Register here. Members: Free; Non-Members: $5.00
Co-Presented by Center for National Security and Human Rights Law at Chicago Kent School of Law. Community Partner: Women's Bar Association of Illinois
