Description:
This webinar is developed for an educator, university, and community member audience. It is not intended for K-12 students.
As students study the Holocaust, they will — and should — have lots of questions. Answering and engaging in discussion about these and other questions that arise in the classroom is a valuable opportunity to refute incorrect information, add additional content and context, and deepen learning. You will have a chance to submit your students’ toughest questions and during this webinar, an Echoes & Reflections staff member and former classroom teacher will answer those questions with supporting primary sources, video testimony, and classroom strategies.
Register* here.
*When registering, you will be prompted to submit as many questions as you like.

Like many professionals, health workers played a role during the Holocaust. From the T4 Euthanasia Program, which targeted people with disabilities, to doctors and nurses in the camps who performed medical experiments on victims, the illusion of medical care was often used to mask much more heinous activities.

The History Highlights lecture series features Holocaust and human rights topics presented by Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum historians and educators. Space is limited! Please register for one ticket per device used. This program is recommended for high school students and adults.

Description:
As the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's hundreds of millions of archival documents attest, the Holocaust is the best documented case of genocide: The US military and allies collected firsthand evidence. Survivors and other eyewitnesses testified about their personal experiences. And the Nazis kept meticulous records.
Yet people always have attempted to distort the history or flat-out deny it, for a variety of reasons. Countries minimize or ignore the part played by local collaborators in order to rehabilitate their images. Deniers quickly spread misinformation through the power of social media. And as the history recedes in time, new generations are susceptible to the dangers of manipulation.

Description:
The Center for Holocaust, Human Rights & Genocide Education's September Virtual Lunch & Learn, Internment and Destruction: Concentration Camps during the Armenian Genocide, kicks off a series of Virtual Lunch & Learns led by scholars and activists deeply connected to the topics explored.
Led by Dr. Khatchig Mouradian, this lecture situates the deportation and destruction of Armenians in Ottoman Syria within the global history of concentration camps. Providing an overview of the structure, administration and life in concentration camps based on Armenian accounts, Ottoman archives, and western diplomatic records, Mouradian argues that this glaring manifestation of total war – one directed towards the empire’s very own Armenian subjects – constitutes an important moment of transition in the use internment as a weapon of annihilation.
Khatchig Mouradian is a lecturer in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies (MESAAS) at Columbia University, where he also heads the Armenian studies program. Mourdadian also served as the Armenian Lead scholar for Chhange's exhibit Journeys Beyond Genocide: The Human Experience. Mouradian’s book, The Resistance Network: The Armenian Genocide and Humanitarianism in Ottoman Syria, 1915-1918, is forthcoming in 2020. Mouradian is the co-editor of a forthcoming book on late-Ottoman history; and the editor of the peer-reviewed journal The Armenian Review. He has published on genocide, mass violence, unarmed resistance, and approaches to teaching history. In 2020, Mouradian was awarded a Humanities War & Peace Initiative Grant from Columbia University.
