Description:
The
Warren Fellowship for Future Teachers, funded by a generous gift from
the Naomi and Martin Warren Family Foundation in Houston, Texas, is
developing a corps of pre-service educators who want to learn more about
the Holocaust and how to teach about it in their classrooms
effectively. The Fellowship was created in 2003 and has more than 400
alumni.
The Warren Fellowship's main objective is to provide new
teachers with the necessary historical and pedagogical tools for
teaching the Holocaust from the onset of their teaching careers. This
program will also develop a teacher corps for Holocaust Museum Houston
as the museum expands its educational outreach in Texas and the United
States.
Upon being named a Warren Fellow, eighteen pre-service
teachers and two faculty Fellows will attend a six-day institute hosted
by Holocaust Museum Houston in Houston, Texas. This institute will
immerse participants in historical and pedagogical issues related to the
Holocaust. Holocaust scholars from across the country will provide
historical content, and university faculty and museum educators will
provide pedagogical context.
The 2022 Warren Fellowship will take place May 22-27, 2022 at Holocaust Museum Houston. Due
to health and safety protocols, all participants must submit proof of
vaccination for COVID-19 during the application process.
This
program is generously supported by The Warren Fellowship Endowment Fund
and the Naomi and Martin Warren Family Foundation. Holocaust Museum Houston offers special
thanks to United Airlines, the official airline of Holocaust Museum
Houston.
For more information, please contact the HMH via e-mail or 713-527-1642.

Description:
After escaping the Nazis, Arno Mayer and other German Jewish refugees
learned how to glean information from the enemy as part of a secret
American military operation during World War II.
Mayer faced a moral dilemma when he was ordered to work with German
rocket scientist Wernher von Braun and other Nazis who immigrated to
America after the war. Von Braun’s skills and know-how were considered
so valuable that even President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had witnessed
Nazi atrocities firsthand, embraced him. Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to learn more about
Jewish refugee soldiers and the 1,600 Nazis permitted to immigrate to
America.

Description:
Theological Encounters of Race, Antisemitism, and the Holocaust in Transatlantic ContextJune 17-24, 2022 | Virtual
The 2022 Annual Faculty Seminar on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust will
examine the multifaceted encounters between Black American Christians
and Jews in both the United States and Europe from the 1920s to the
present. We will consider both the personal interactions and
trans-Atlantic experiences of Black Christians and Jews in the years
before, during, and after the Holocaust, as well as the transnational
circulation of ideas that shaped Christian and Jewish theological
understandings of and responses to persecution.
Topics will include: the ways in which both Jews and Black Americans
have had commonalities of experiences of persecution based on Christian
theological principles; how cross-cultural experiences of religious
leaders such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King Sr. and Jr.
shaped their views of their own communities; the responses of some
European Jewish refugees, such as Abraham Joshua Heschel, to the Black
church and civil rights movement; and how Black theologians have engaged
the history of antisemitism and the Holocaust.
The seminar will be led by Dr. Beverly Mitchell,
Professor of Systematic Theology and Church History, C.C. Goen and
Douglas R. Chandler Church History Chair at Wesley Theological Seminary,
Washington, DC and Dr. Benjamin Sax, Jewish Scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies, Baltimore, MD.
Seminar Format:
The seminar will be conducted entirely online through a combination
of synchronous and asynchronous elements over five days between June 17 and June 24, 2022
(June 20 is a holiday). Participants can expect to attend no more than
four hours of synchronous sessions in the virtual classroom per day
(June 17; 21-24, 2022). Additional daily asynchronous activities will
include independent readings, pre-recorded lectures, and online forums.
Opportunities for informal networking and small-group meetings will be
facilitated via the seminar’s digital platform. A full agenda and
reading list will be provided one month before the start of the seminar
through the Seminar’s digital platform.
