Description:
The Pyramid of Hate is a tool that can help students recognize the relative ease with which hate, if left unchecked, can escalate. Examining the Pyramid of Hate through the lens of the Holocaust also encourages students to reflect on their own responsibility to interrupt bias behaviors and take action on their schools and communities. Using primary sources and visual history testimony from Echoes & Reflections, this webinar helps teachers and their students examine events at each stage of the pyramid and enhances their understanding of how the progression might have been interrupted during the period prior to and during the Holocaust. 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:
Every year the Washington Next Generation Board hosts an evening for
our community to come together to honor Holocaust survivors. While
COVID-19 may have changed how we connect, it does not impact why the
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum continues to remember and educate about Holocaust history.
Survivors carry powerful firsthand experiences from one of history’s
darkest moments. Their stories and contributions are critical to USHMM's mission—educating new generations about the impact of
indifference and hate.
Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum virtually for their annual event to hear inspiring messages
from Holocaust survivors and next generation leaders, and reaffirm the commitment to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive.

Description:
Seventy-five years after the end of World War
II Holocaust denial and distortion is a growing problem, and in some
countries has even become official government policy. In this
presentation, Mark Weitzman will trace the roots of denial and distortion and present
an overview of the situation today, focusing on how the history of the
Holocaust is being rewritten by nationalist apologists, political
opportunists and how this message is spread online. He will also discuss a
variety of initiatives (including some from personal experience) both
from civil society, governments and intergovernmental organizations
aimed at combating Holocaust denial and distortion, including the IHRA
Working Definition of Holocaust Denial and Distortion.

Description:
"Resistance does not have to be with a gun and a bullet." These are the words of Holocaust survivor Roman Kent. Participate in this webinar, led by a facilitator from Yad Vashem, to explore the many different ways that Jews resisted with their spirits, not with their weapons, while under Nazi occupation. The means, scope and intensity of cultural and spiritual resistance efforts of the Jews in the ghettos was nothing short of remarkable. At their core, these forms of resistance are expressions of the capacity to preserve what is best in humanity in the face of the worst that humanity has to offer.
Echoes & Reflections delivers value to both experienced Holocaust educators and for teachers new to Holocaust education.

Description:
In their third episode, the UN Department of Global Communications will consider how radio has been used to fuel genocide, but also how the same medium was used in the aftermath of atrocity crimes, to assist with the reconstitution and tracing of families. In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, the International Red Cross, the International Tracing Service and radio stations such as the BBC, broadcast lists of names of survivors in the hope that families would be reunited. Forty-nine years after the end of the Second World War and three months after the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda had ended, the BBC began a radio project to support the people of Rwanda. The first service, BBC Gahuzamiryango – “the unifier of families” broadcast the names of children who were looking for their parents and collected messages from refugees living in camps in Tanzania, DRC and Burundi who were trying to trace their loved ones.

Register here.
Beyond the Long Shadow: Engaging with Difficult Histories is organized together with the Outreach Programmes on the transatlantic slave trade, and the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. The aim of the collaborative series is to develop a deeper understanding of the legacies of these painful histories – and through examining the past, consider how best to build a world that is just, where all can live in dignity and peace. The series is organized by the United Nations Department of Global Communications.

Description:
At age 27, in his first turn as a prosecutor, Benjamin Ferencz led what has been called "the biggest murder trial in history." On behalf of the US government, he won guilty verdicts against 22 Nazi leaders of mass shooting operations that murdered over a million Jews.
The Nuremberg trials aimed to achieve a measure of justice for the unimaginable scale of the Holocaust and war crimes. Ben, now 100, has devoted his life to building the architecture of international justice around prevention and accountability in pursuit of a more peaceful world.
Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum live on Facebook, 75 years after the Nuremberg trials began, to learn Ben's inspiring story and why his motto is: “Never give up.”
SpeakerBenjamin Ferencz, Last living Nuremberg prosecutor

Description:
Join leading organizations (The International Legal Forum & the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy) and experts in a fascinating debate on the challenges and opportunities in pro-actively advancing the battle against antisemitism in Latin America and all over the world.
History shows that many advances in civil and human rights protection were achieved by taking bold legal activism. Human rights law on paper alone is often not enough to guarantee the elimination of discrimination, hatred and extremism. Committed activists and lawyers can successfully push the boundaries of legal protection of human rights and turn the tide against rising antisemitism. Join leading organizations and experts in a fascinating debate on the challenges and opportunities in pro-actively advancing the battle against antisemitism in Latin America and all over the world.
Join The International Legal Forum & the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy for a panel discussion on legal challenges to opportunities in Latin America, sharing best practices and strategies and brainstorming about current challenges throughout the continent.

Description:
Almost everyone has heard of the Nuremberg Trial of major Nazi
leaders after World War II, but few people realize that this was only
one among tens of thousands of trials conducted not just in every major
country in Europe, but around the globe, from Canada to Australia,
Israel to the United States. These trials continue to the present day,
with cases still pending in German courts. This decades-long, global
effort to bring Nazi perpetrators to justice represents the largest and
most sustained effort to prosecute mass atrocities and genocide in the
history of the world. Outlining this global struggle for justice, Devin
Pendas will explain how these trials worked and what impact they had on
the postwar world.
This program is part of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum's Permanent Exhibition Highlight Series. Space is limited! Please register for one ticket per device used.
About Dr. Devin PendasDevin Pendas, PhD, is professor of history at Boston College. He is the author of The Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial, 1963-1965: Genocide, History and the Limits of the Law and Democracy, Nazi Trials, and Transitional Justice in Germany, 1945-1950 and co-editor of Political Trials in History and Theory, Beyond the Racial State: New Perspectives on Nazi Germany. He has been a guest professor at the J.W. Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, and at Meiji University in Tokyo, Japan.
