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:
In Dark Mirror, Sara Lipton offers a fascinating examination of the emergence of antisemitic iconography in the Middle Ages.
The straggly beard, the hooked nose, the bag of coins, the gaudy apparel – the religious artists of medieval Christendom had no shortage of virulent symbols for identifying Jews. Yet, hateful as these depictions were, the story they tell is not as simple as it first appears. Lipton argues that these visual stereotypes were neither an inevitable outgrowth of Christian theology nor a simple reflection of medieval prejudices. Instead, she maps out the complex relationship between medieval Christians’ religious ideas, social experience, and developing artistic practices that drove their depiction of Jews from benign, if exoticized, figures connoting ancient wisdom to increasingly vicious portrayals inspired by (and designed to provoke) fear and hostility.
Sara Lipton is Professor of History at SUNY Stony Brook and the author of Images of Intolerance: The Representation of Jews and Judaism in the Bible moralisée, which won the Medieval Academy of America’s John Nicholas Brown prize. The recipient of fellowships from the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Huffington Post.

Description:
After Nazi Germany invaded and occupied Hungary in 1944, authorities forced 13-year-old Irene Fogel Weiss and her family to leave their home and live in a crowded ghetto under horrible conditions. Just weeks later, the family found themselves packed in a freight car bound for Auschwitz. When they arrived at the camp, Irene clung to her little sister’s hand—until a Nazi official broke them apart with a baton. Irene froze in terror as her sister disappeared into the crowd. Watch to learn what happened next.

The August 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany, were held in a world on the brink of war.

Description:
In 1994, more than 1 million people were killed in the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, leaving only a few thousand Tutsi survivors. In August 2024, these survivors and their families will gather together with scholars, artists, and activists at the Voices of Resilience conference in Houston, Texas to connect, heal, and equip attendees with strength and resilience that will be passed on through generations.
Atrocities like the Genocide against the Tutsi have taken countless human lives and devastated nations and communities throughout history. But when the violence ends, those who survive are left with trauma and fear so deep that it can be passed down through generations.
Today, there are hundreds of thousands of people who have survived atrocities but are living with dark shadows of fear and pain. At Voices of Resilience, we will bring light into the shadows by sharing truth and experiencing healing together. We will harness the resilience that survivors of genocide have cultivated in their lives to move forward with understanding and renewed strength that will be passed down through generations.

How have Europeans chosen to remember the Holocaust, and how have Holocaust memorials been weaponized by those who may wish to assert a different political or social narrative? Can memorials actually become places of erasure that can lead dangerously to forgetting or even denying the truth? Join Dr. Tyler J. Goldberger to explore the questions and issues behind remembrance of this genocide.
This interactive webinar will focus on the importance of memorialization and the dangers of weaponization. It will empower educators to teach about the role and interpretation of memorials in remembering the past and connects to the Justice, Life, and Memory after the Holocaust unit on the Echoes & Reflections website.

About Hidden History: Recounting the Shanghai Jewish Story
Explore the little-known history of the diverse, resettled Jewish community in Shanghai, including Iraqi Jews who arrived in the mid-1800s, Russian Jews who fled pogroms at the turn of the century, and German and Austrian Jews who desperately escaped the Nazis. With most countries limiting or denying entry to Jews during the 1930s, the free port of Shanghai became an unexpected safe haven for Jews attempting to flee the antisemitic policies and identity-based violence in Nazi-controlled Europe. Hidden History explores this multifaceted history of desperation, loss, and asylum through artifacts, survivor stories, and the photographic lens of prominent American photojournalist Arthur Rothstein, who documented the Shanghai Jewish community in 1946 for the United Nations.
