Description:
In response to COVID-19 precautions, Shalom Austin is offering their Education Electives for Yom HaShoah virtually this year.What constitutes a “good” or “authentic” depiction of the Shoah? Is there a “right” way to portray it? Can the artist go too far? Recent portrayals, such as the films, The Painted Bird (Václac Marhoul, 2019) and JoJo Rabbit (Taika Waititi, 2019), as well as the 2020 Amazon Prime series, Hunters, have continued to fuel debates over the ethical dimensions of adapting the Shoah for popular entertainment. This class will look at a few case studies to explore the history of and standards for judging literary, visual, cinematic, and televisual depictions of the Shoah, including the criteria used by the Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Committee (THGAAC). The discussion will be facilitated by THGAAC Director of Education Dr. J.E. Wolfson, who has written a dissertation and presented on this subject at major academic conferences.Register for Virtual Yom HaShoah

Description:
During this special webinar by the USC Shoah Foundation, students will explore the topic of resilience-the ability to bounce back from challenges we face, and to hold on to what we already have to help us cope with those challenges. The 45-minute program will feature Mona Golabek, Grammy-nominated concert pianist and author of The Children of Willesden Lane. Ms. Golabek will explore key parts of her book and perform piano classics, guiding students to consider the question: What can I hold on to in my life to help me be resilient in times of change?About The Children of Willesden Lane
In early 1938, Lisa Jura, a young Jewish girl in Vienna, dreamed that one day she would become a concert pianist. In March, her dreams were shattered. German troops took over Austria, her homeland. She became a refugee, one of about 10,000 children brought to England before World War II as part of the Kindertransport -- a mission to rescue children threatened by the Nazis. Her daughter Mona Golabek and writer Lee Cohen tell her story in The Children of Willesden Lane. The book follows Lisa's coming of age during WWII and her courageous journey to fulfill her dream of music against one of the darkest periods in history.Register here.

Description:
The Department of Commerce will present "Hope in Uncertain Times: A Virtual Holocaust Remembrance Program" on Thursday, April 23, 2020 from 11:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. Participants will have the privilege of hearing from Holocaust survivor, U.S. Army Veteran, and former NIST Guest Researcher, Dr. Steven Fenves.
Dr. Fenves was 10 years old when Axis powers invaded Yugoslavia in 1941. His Jewish family was forced to sell its possessions and occupy a corner of its home while Hungarian officers took over the rest. His father’s publishing house came under censorship by the Hungarian dictatorship. Dr. Fenves and other members of his family were deported to Auschwitz in 1944. Because he spoke fluent German, he was chosen to be an interpreter by the German Kapos. During his time in the camp, he became part of the resistance. He was later transferred to Niederorschel camp and then to Buchenwald, where he was liberated by American soldiers in 1945. He escaped Yugoslavia to the U.S. in 1950 and was drafted into the Army 18 months later. Upon his discharge, he studied under the GI Bill, eventually earning his doctorate. He went on to a 42-year academic career in the fields of computer science and civil engineering. He worked as a Guest Researcher at NIST from 1999 to 2009. Since 2009, he has served as a volunteer at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
You will also hear from Andrei Iancu, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO, who will provide welcome remarks; Wendy Doernberg, Senior Equal Employment Opportunity Specialist, Office of Civil Rights (OCR); and Tinisha L. Agramonte, DOC Chief Diversity Officer and Director of the OCR.
