Description:
Kristallnacht is often viewed as a turning point: On this night, November 9-10, 1938, the persecution of the Jews became dramatically visible and undeniable. The anniversary of Kristallnacht presents a unique opportunity to teach about social justice: what happens when people are deprived of basic rights? How did this escalation occur? Why is teaching this history through a social justice lens so important? This webinar is delivered by an educator from Yad Vashem, and is open to teachers and their students. Please direct your students to register using the Student Registration Form. Teachers and all other non-students may register with the link below.
Echoes & Reflections delivers value to both experienced Holocaust educators and for teachers new to Holocaust education.

Description:
2020 Monna and Otto Weinmann Digital Lecture
The Nazi campaign to rid Europe of its Jews started with seizing
their property and possessions. The Third Reich deprived Jewish families
of the things that made their dwellings a home—clothes, books, tools,
photographs, and keepsakes. Before their exile or deportation, many
people buried valued items, entrusted cherished goods to neighbors, or
shipped belongings abroad. Some prisoners made clothing, jewelry,
spoons, and combs in the concentration camps that survivors or others
carefully preserved. After the war, while most of what Jews owned was
gone, some possessions were salvaged or reclaimed.
Now, as survivors age—and Holocaust denial is a rising
threat—ownership of these objects can be contentious, raising questions
such as: Should public institutions hold Holocaust artifacts as crucial
evidence of the crimes and as educational resources? When do families
have a right to keep mementos as connections to their past?
Using three case studies, this conversation will explore the material
traces of the Holocaust and the ongoing struggles over who owns them.

The Monna and Otto Weinmann Annual Lecture honors Holocaust
survivors and their fates, experiences, and accomplishments. Monna
Steinbach Weinmann (1906–1991), born in Poland and raised in Austria,
fled to England in autumn 1938. Otto Weinmann (1903–1993), born in
Vienna and raised in Czechoslovakia, served in the Czechoslovak, French,
and British armies; was wounded at Normandy; and received the Croix de
Guerre for his valiant contributions during the war. Monna Steinbach and
Otto Weinmann married in London in 1941 and immigrated to the United
States in 1948.
This annual lecture has been made possible by Janice Weinman Shorenstein.

Description:
The Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies at Appalachian State University invites the public to an online lecture by Professor Atina Grossmann, Professor of History in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Cooper Union in New York City.
Her talk integrates the largely unexamined experiences and lost memories of displacement and trauma of European Jews who managed to flee to the Far East into our understanding of the Shoah, and to remap the landscape of persecution, survival, relief and rescue during and after World War. With this event, the Center also marks and commemorates the 82nd anniversary of Kristallnacht, the nationwide pogroms in Hitler Germany that began on November 9, 1938, and marked the prewar turning point in the Nazi regime's persecution of the country's Jewish population.
Professor Grossmann is a specialist in German-Jewish history, Holocaust Studies, and women's and gender history and is the author and co-editor of many path-breaking studies that helped to reshape various academic fields. These works include Jews, Germans, and Allies: Close Encounters in Occupied Germany (2007), Wege in der Fremde: Deutsch-jüdische Begegnungsgeschichte zwischen New York, Berlin und Teheran (2012), and Reforming Sex: The German Movement for Birth Control and Abortion Reform, 1920-1950 (1995) as well as the co-edited volumes on Shelter from the Holocaust: Rethinking Jewish Survival in the Soviet Union (2017), After the Nazi Racial State: Difference and Democracy in Germany and Europe (2009), and When Biology Became Destiny: Women in Weimar and Nazi Germany (1984). Professor Grossmann is the daughter of German-Jewish Holocaust survivors.
Organized by Appalachian State University's Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies, the programs are co-sponsored by ASU Departments of History, Interdisciplinary Studies, and Literatures, Languages and Cultures, the German Program, and the Peace and Genocide Education Club.

Description:
The November pogrom is known by Holocaust scholars as one of the most analyzed events in Nazi Germany. Descriptions of Kristallnacht usually emphasize the attacks on synagogues and Jewish shops, sometimes schools and other Jewish institutions, yet rarely the destruction of private homes. Based on contemporary administrative reports and letters as well as postwar survivor testimonies, Wolf Gruner's research suggests that during that night, Goebbels presumably ordered systematic and nationwide violent attacks aimed at Jewish homes. The resulting mass destruction of Jewish homes and apartments has never been studied, neither in its scale and intensity nor its brutality and impact. For some cities, between 75 and 90 per cent of the Jewish homes had been reported as vandalized. After the attacks, thousands of homes were left inhabitable, their windows broken and china, furniture, lamps and paintings smashed to pieces. Humiliations, beatings, murder and sexual violence accompanied the systematic destruction. More than burned synagogues or vandalized shops, indeed the systematic devastation of the last refuge of the German Jews: their homes, might explain, why so many German and Austrian Jews decided to flee or to commit suicide.
Wolf GrunerMr. Gruner holds the Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies, is Professor of History at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles since 2008 and is the Founding Director of the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research since 2014.

Description:
On the night of November 9, 1938, nine-year-old Susan Warsinger’s life changed forever. That night, the Nazi regime orchestrated a wave of violence against Jews, a deadly turning point in Holocaust history known as Kristallnacht. Susan’s German neighbors betrayed her family—throwing rocks through her bedroom window and even ripping down a lamppost and ramming it through their front door while a police officer watched. Her father was among 30,000 men arrested simply for being Jewish. Join Holocaust survivor and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum volunteer Susan Warsinger to learn about her experience and the moment her parents decided to send her away to try to save her.
