Description:
San Antonio Public Library is one of 50 U.S. libraries selected to host "Americans and the Holocaust," a traveling exhibition from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the American Library Association (ALA) that examines the motives, pressures and fears that shaped Americans’ responses to Nazism, war and genocide in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s.
The 1,100-square-foot exhibition examines various aspects of American society: the government, the military, refugee aid organizations, the media and the general public. Drawing on a remarkable collection of primary sources from the 1930s and ’40s, the exhibition tells the stories of Americans who acted in response to Nazism, challenging the commonly held assumptions that Americans knew little and did nothing about the Nazi persecution and murder of Jews as the Holocaust unfolded. It provides a portrait of American society that shows how the Depression, isolationism, xenophobia, racism and antisemitism shaped responses to Nazism and the Holocaust.
Details of the exhibit's visit to San Antonio are as follows:Central Library Gallery (1st Floor)600 Soledad St.San Antonio, TX 78205Mondays and Tuesdays from 12 - 8 pmWednesdays-Saturdays from 10 am - 6 pm

Description:
Rosian Zerner was born in Kaunas (Kovno), Lithuania, in 1935. When Germany invaded in 1941, Zerner and her family were confined to the Kovno Ghetto. When she was 6, her parents helped her escape through a hole they dug under the ghetto fence. Met by her father’s secretary, Zerner was hidden by several rescuers before being liberated by Soviet troops in 1944.

Description:
Portraiture was central to Jewish artistic practice across Europe before the war, a genre that affirmed individual identity, family continuity, and communal belonging. The Nazi persecution transformed these images into something more urgent: acts of witness, mourning, and at times defiance, made under conditions ranging from relative freedom to incarceration and imminent death. Rachel Perry, PhD, art historian and curator specializing in the representation of Holocaust memory and WWII, will examine how Jewish artists navigated questions of visibility, dignity, and memory in their portraits of individuals whose lives, and whose world, were under existential threat.
This webinar connects to Units 5 and 7 on the Echoes & Reflections website.

The Nazis stole art, but they also stole identity, history, and memory.

This webinar will provide teachers with engaging strategies to bring history, ethics, and critical thinking into the classroom.
