Description:
On the night of October 1–2, 1943, during Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year, German Nazi forces set out to capture more than 7,000 Jews in Denmark and deport them to their deaths. Yet something unexpected happened that almost completely foiled the plan. As a result, approximately 99% of Denmark’s Jewish community survived the Holocaust.
How did this happen? What role did the Jews of Denmark play in their own survival? How did Danish society respond, and what role did the German forces in Denmark themselves play? Join Yiftach Meiri, Yad Vashem educator, to explore these questions and uncover the remarkable story of the rescue of Denmark’s Jews.

Description:
Nahal Oz was home long before October 7 for Matan Weitz.It was friends, parties, stupid jokes, long nights, and learning how to keep laughing even when rockets were part of everyday life.Then came October 7.And after it came evacuation, funerals for people he loved, months of grief, speaking on behalf of his community, fighting for the return of the hostages, and trying to figure out what it means to keep going when the life you knew has completely changed.On October 8, Matan will share that story.Not only the story of one terrible day, and not only a story of loss. He will talk about the life that came before it, everything that followed, the people of Nahal Oz, and what it has meant to carry all of it with him.

Description:
In the United States there has been renewed attention to the problems of rising antisemitism and the threat of Christian nationalism to democratic principles. This lecture will investigate those wings of the Christian nationalist movement that have antisemitic elements to them and show how these are embedded within a combination of religious, racial, and ethnonationalist assumptions. Understandings these relationships is crucial for developing the skills to identify and respond to the intersection of antisemitism, racism, and Christian nationalism today.
