Description:
The Holocaust Teacher Institute at the University of Miami, School of
Education & Human Development is proud to announce the Leslie and
Susan Gonda (Goldschmied) Foundation Holocaust/Jewish themed Sunday
Salon Series.
Hitler's Furies: A Virtual Evening with Scholar and Author Dr. Wendy Lower in conversation with Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff.
Wendy Lower’s stunning account of the role of German women on the World War II Nazi eastern front powerfully revises history, proving that we have ignored the reality of women’s participation in the Holocaust, including as brutal killers. The long-held picture of German women holding down the home front during the war, as loyal wives and cheerleaders for the Führer, pales in comparison to Lower’s incisive case for the massive complicity, and worse, of the 500,000 young German women she places, for the first time, directly in the killing fields of the expanding Reich.

Description:
Witnesses to the brutal murder of their families and neighbors and the violent destruction of their communities, a cadre of Jewish women in Poland—some still in their teens—helped transform the Jewish youth groups into resistance cells to fight the Nazis. With courage, guile, and nerves of steel, these “ghetto girls” paid off Gestapo guards, hid revolvers in loaves of bread and jars of marmalade, and helped build systems of underground bunkers. They flirted with German soldiers, bribed them with wine, whiskey, and home cooking, used their Aryan looks to seduce them, and shot and killed them. They bombed German train lines and blew up a town’s water supply. They also nursed the sick and taught children.
Yet the exploits of these courageous resistance fighters have remained virtually unknown.
As propulsive and thrilling as Hidden Figures, In the Garden of Beasts, Band of Brothers, and A Train in Winter, The Light of Days at last tells the true story of these incredible women whose courageous yet little-known feats have been eclipsed by time. Judy Batalion—the granddaughter of Polish Holocaust survivors—takes us back to 1939 and introduces us to Renia Kukielka, a weapons smuggler and messenger who risked death traveling across occupied Poland on foot and by train. Joining Renia are other women who served as couriers, armed fighters, intelligence agents, and saboteurs, all who put their lives in mortal danger to carry out their missions. Batalion follows these women through the savage destruction of the ghettos, arrest and internment in Gestapo prisons and concentration camps, and for a lucky few—like Renia, who orchestrated her own audacious escape from a brutal Nazi jail—into the late 20th century and beyond.
Powerful and inspiring, featuring twenty black-and-white photographs, The Light of Days is an unforgettable true tale of war, the fight for freedom, exceptional bravery, female friendship, and survival in the face of staggering odds.
Join Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio for their discussion of The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler’s Ghettos by Judy Batalion.

Description:
Extremist beliefs and violence are on the rise.
White supremacist and other hate groups exploit antisemitic myths,
racism, and conspiracy theories often directly inspired by Nazi
ideology. When hatred and deception go viral, they can appeal to more
mainstream audiences. Holocaust history warns us of the violence that
can follow when such threats go unchecked.
Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to discuss the dangers posed when extremist ideas are normalized and what is being done to challenge them.
SpeakersDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Dr. Arie Kruglanski, Holocaust survivor and distinguished university professor in Psychology at the University of Maryland
Vidhya Ramalingam, Founder and CEO, Moonshot

Description:
This course begins by exploring the motifs that have defined
antisemitism both over the centuries and into our own time. Moving then
into the contemporary world, we will consider the three primary sources
of the phenomenon of Jew hatred: the political right, the political
left, and political Islam. Finally, the course will end with a
discussion of how one might response to the rising tide of antisemitism
and what might be done about it.
Featuring Professor David Patterson, Hillel A. Feinberg Distinguished Chair in Holocaust Studies at the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, U.S.; Senior Research Fellow, ISGAP
Session One: Historical Patterns and Modern ManifestationsIn this class we identify three defining motifs in the history of
antisemitism and its contemporary manifestations: (1) the claim to the
word of Truth, (2) blood libel and bloodshed, and (3) the redeeming
value of antisemitism. The redemptive aspect of antisemitism, it will be
shown, most fundamentally defines the historical and contemporary
essence of antisemitism in its various forms.
Will be held on 1 March 2023 at 10AM Central Time
Session Two: The Defining Case of National Socialist AntisemitismThis session will explore the essence of Nazi antisemitism as the
phenomenon’s most extreme manifestation. The premise is that an
examination of the extreme case reveals what underlies other instances
of Jew hatred, as we make clear exactly what the Nazis set out to
obliterate in the annihilation of European Jewry and therefore exactly
what the antisemite is anti-. The presentation will end with a brief
consideration of the Nazi influence on Jihadist antisemitism, to be
examined more closely in the next class.
Will be held on 8 March 2023 at 10AM Central Time
Session Three: Political Islamist AntisemitismIn this class we shall trace the recent history of political Islam
and Islamic Jihadism, their contemporary manifestations, and the
centrality of antisemitism to their ideology. Of particular interest
will be the Muslim Brotherhood and its widespread influence on
organizations such as the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah,
Sudan, and throughout Europe and North America. This session will end by
setting up the bonds at work in the Red-Green Alliance.
Will be held on 15 March 2023 at 10AM Central Time
Session Four: Red-Green AntisemitismHere we consider antisemitism as it appears among left-wing
intellectuals, largely on college campuses, in professional
organizations, and in student movements. Central to this discussion will
be the relation between antisemitism and anti-Zionism. The presentation
will touch upon the left-wing affinity with Critical Race Theory, the
Boycott Divest Sanction Movement, Students for Justice in Palestine,
Black Lives Matter, and left-wing political movements.
Will be held on 22 March 2023 at 10AM Central Time
This course costs $100. Register here.
