Description:
In this dynamic online course, offered in partnership between Echoes & Reflections and The Defiant Requiem Foundation, educators will explore how Jews continued to live creative and artistic lives against the backdrop of the Holocaust. By exploring the experience of Jews forcibly interned in the Terezin/Theresienstadt ghetto, participants will learn how these individuals used music, art, and other forms of creative expression as cultural and spiritual resistance in defiance of the Nazis who sought to dehumanize them.
How did the Jews resist oppression in the Terezin ghetto? What can we learn from their perseverance under these circumstances? In this asynchronous online course, educators examine the creation of the Terezin ghetto, the role of resistance, and how the prisoner performances of Verdi's Requiem inspired individuals then and now. This facilitator-led course also includes an exploration of Echoes & Reflections and The Defiant Requiem Foundation's resources that support your teaching strategies and enhanced understanding for your students.

Description:
Based on nearly ten years of filming more than 250 survivors across the world, The Last Ones of Auschwitz brings together the voices of the very last witnesses of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Their stories reveal not only what happened during the war, but how Auschwitz stayed with them for a lifetime — shaping their silence, their families, their resilience, and the way they rebuilt their lives.
This session, led by co-author Leslie Gelrubin Benitah, Ph. D., will explore the process of gathering these stories, what “life with Auschwitz” truly means, and how educators can use these stories to deepen students’ understanding of trauma, survival, and memory.
