Description:
Before the Nazis came to power, Berlin was home to a vibrant gay community. Within weeks of their rise in March 1933, the Nazis drove this population underground and waged a violent campaign against homosexuality. Over the next 12 years, more than 100,000 men were arrested for the crime of being gay, often with no proof required for conviction. Some were sent to concentration camps and subjected to hard labor, cruelty, and even medical experiments aimed at “curing” them. Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for a Pride Month Facebook Live presentation as they give voice to a community silenced during the Holocaust.

Description:
You may know the words from this famous quote, but do you know who said it and why? German pastor Martin Niemöller supported the Nazis before worrying signs propelled him to criticize Hitler from the pulpit. In 1937, the Gestapo arrested him for this opposition, and he spent almost eight years in concentration camps. After the Holocaust, Niemöller called for acknowledgment of German guilt. As our current moment draws us to Niemöller's words once again, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum experts will discuss their origins and reflect on their enduring power to inspire individuals to act and recognize our common humanity.Watch live at facebook.com/holocaustmuseum and join in the conversation using #USHMM and #AskWhy. You do not need a Facebook account to view their program. After the live broadcast, the recording will be available to watch on demand on USHMM's Facebook page.

Description:
Anne Frank is the most well-known hidden child of
the Holocaust. On what would be her 91st birthday, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum will honor the tens
of thousands of young people whose families placed them in hiding to
protect them. Like Anne, some lived in the shadows. Others took on new
identities and hid in plain sight.
Join them live on Facebook to meet Al Münzer, who was an infant when
his parents made the agonizing decision to place him in a friend’s care
after the Nazis invaded their home country, the Netherlands. For about
three years, Al's main view of the outside world was through a mail
slot.
