Description:
Continuing its annual tradition of honoring the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Music of Remembrance (MOR) will present Art From Ashes, an online concert marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The concert will begin to stream on January 24 and remain available for one week. It will showcase some of the remarkable works of six murdered composers from across Nazi-controlled Europe:Prague-born Erwin Schulhoff was an audaciously original musical presence between the world wars.David Beigelman was a leading figure in Poland’s once thriving Yiddish theater.Hans Krása
will always be remembered as the composer of Brundibár, the opera performed 55 times by casts of child prisoners in Terezín.Dutch composer Dick Kattenburg, only ten years older than Anne Frank, spent the war years in hiding before his betrayal and arrest.László Weiner and Paul Hermann
were shaped by Budapest’s musical world of Bartók and Kodály.
The varied program ranges from a haunting Yiddish song from the Łódź ghetto to a string quartet performed in Terezín, along with other works for string ensembles. MOR's stellar ensemble is drawn from the Seattle Symphony. For some of these rarely performed works of stunning beauty, they will be playing from unpublished scores that were specially made available to them.

Choose the day and time that works for you:
Sunday, January 24th – 2:00PM - 3:00PM CSTMonday, January 25th – 6:00PM - 7:00PM CST
During
a time when our students have just witnessed an assault upon our
nations' Capitol, this lesson is particularly relevant. Tactics of
Resistance gives them the opportunity to engage in critical thinking and
decision-making around resisting aggression and encourages them to
examine the potential short and long-term outcomes of various actions.
Expand students’ thinking about the spectrum of possible responses to
bigotry, genocide, and other forms of aggression—from non-violence to
the armed resistance of the Jewish partisans. Learn how to use the
“Resistance Matrix” with your students as a tool for analyzing and brainstorming the different solutions to conflict.
Workshop presenters Jonathan Furst, Director of Education, and Sheri Rosenblum,
Director of Development and Outreach, specialize in Holocaust education
and professional development and have taught thousands of educators.

Description:
In Honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day Arthur and Emalie Gutterman Family Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education presents
BESA: A Code of HonorMuslim Albanians Who Rescued Jews During the Holocaust
Following the German Occupation in 1943, the Albanian population refused to comply with the Occupier's efforts to turn over lists of Jews residing within the country's borders. The Albanians protected their Jewish citizens and provided sanctuary to Jewish refugees. The assistance to Jews was grounded in BESA, the code of honor which still today serves as the highest ethical code in the country.
Join The Arthur and Emalie Gutterman Family Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education for a live discussion about the experiences of Albanian Muslims who -- at great risk to themselves and their families -- saved Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Lecture and virtual BESA exhibit walk-through presented by Marlene W. Yahalom, PhD, Director of Education American Society for Yad Vashem.

Description:
The Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies along with Queens University’s Greenspon Center for Peace and Social Justice and UNCC’s Center for Holocaust, Genocide & Human Rights Studies invites you to an online program with Professor Jim Waller, the Cohen Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Keene State College. Professor Waller will speak on Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide and Mass Murder, also the title of one of his most influential and pathbreaking studies. The presentation will start on Tuesday, January 26, at 6:00 PM CST. Based on an evolutionary perspective, Professor Waller offers an equally intriguing and disturbing psychological view of how (almost) anyone can participate in genocidal crimes. The event also marks and commemorates the 76th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz camps by a division of the Red Army’s First Ukrainian Front in January of 1945.
Dr. James E. Waller is the inaugural Cohen Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Keene State College, one of the nation’s oldest Holocaust resource centers. A widely-recognized scholar in the field of Holocaust and genocide studies, Professor Waller widely researches, teaches and consults for memorials, research centers, universities, government, and non-governmental institutions around the world. Among his many roles and accomplishments is the Directorship of Academic Programs at the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities and lead instructorship for the Raphael Lemkin Seminars for Genocide Prevention. These well-respected seminars held on-site and in cooperation with the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, introduce government officials and security sector personnel from around the globe to pressing questions of genocide warning and prevention. He is the author of five important books, including Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide and Mass Killing, on which his talk is based, and Confronting Evil: Engaging Our Responsibility to Prevent Genocide (Oxford University Press, 2016).
Like almost all Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies events, this online program is free of charge and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Center at 828.262.2311 or via e-mail. Register here for this free Zoom event.
