Description:
Amid the brutality of the Holocaust, one bright spot shone inside the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz. In the shadows of the smokestacks was a wooden hut where children sang, staged plays, wrote poetry, and learned about the world. Within those four walls, brightly adorned with hand-painted cartoons, the youngest prisoners were kept vermin-free, received better food, and were even taught to imagine having full stomachs and a day without fear. Their guiding light was a twenty-seven-year-old gay, Jewish athlete: Fredy Hirsch.
Being a teacher in a brutal concentration camp was no mean feat. Forced to beg senior SS officers for better provisions, Fredy risked his life every day to protect his beloved children from mortal danger.
But time was running out for Fredy and the hundreds in his care. Could this kind, compassionate, and brave man find a way to teach them the one lesson they really needed to know: how to survive?
The Teacher of Auschwitz shines a light on a truly remarkable individual and tells the inspiring story of how he fought to protect innocence and hope amid depravity and despair.
Wendy Holden was a journalist for eighteen years, including a decade at the Daily Telegraph. She is the author and coauthor of more than thirty books, among them several internationally acclaimed wartime biographies, including Born Survivors, as well as the New York Times bestsellers A Lotus Grows in the Mud (with Goldie Hawn) and Lady Blue Eyes (with Frank Sinatra’s widow, Barbara). She lives in Suffolk, England, with her husband and two dogs, and divides her time between the UK and the US.

Description:
Sigrid Schultz was the Berlin bureau chief for the Chicago Tribune from 1925 to early 1941. She reported on every step of the Nazi rise to power, including a rare private interview with Hitler in 1931. According to William Shirer, author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, "No other American correspondent in Berlin knew so much of what was going on behind the scenes as did Sigrid Schultz." This webinar, led by historian Pamela Toler, will discuss what Sigrid saw, how her newspaper handled her reports, and what we can learn from her experiences.
This webinar connects to Unit 3 on the Echoes & Reflections website.
