Description:
While Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower had studied his
World War II enemy, he was unprepared for the Nazi brutality he
witnessed at Ohrdruf concentration camp in April 1945. Bodies were piled
like wood and living skeletons struggled to survive. Even as the Allied
Forces continued their fight, Eisenhower foresaw a day when the horrors
of the Holocaust might be denied. He invited the media to document the
scene. He compelled Germans living in the surrounding towns and any
soldier not fighting at the front to witness the atrocities for
themselves. On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Susan
Eisenhower, author of How Ike Led, to learn about her grandfather’s vigilance to preserve the truth of the Holocaust.

Description:
Please join the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of Minnesota and The Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at Western Washington University on Wednesday, January 27, 2021 at 1:30 PM CST for a presentation by Dr. Matthias Haß, Director of Education, House of the Wannsee-Conference Memorial Site and Conference Center, Berlin, Germany.
"The meeting of 15 high-ranking Nazi officials on January 20, 1942 at Lake Wannsee is one of the most important events in the history of the persecution and murder of European Jewry. Under the leadership of Reinhard Heydrich, the men discussed the implementation of the deportation and ultimately the murder of 11 million Jews. In the spring of 1942, the deportations to the death camps in occupied Eastern Europe began.
"Seventy-nine years later, Germany and Europe are facing a new wave of right-wing extremism and antisemitism. Synagogues are attacked and Jews are injured and murdered. The Covid-19-pandemic fuels conspiracy narratives which are often rooted in antisemitism. Has history taught us so little?
"The lecture will give an overview of the meeting at Lake Wannsee on January 20, 1942 in its larger historical context and discuss its relevance in the wake of rising antisemitism in Germany and Europe today."
Pre-registration for this Zoom event is required, and more information is available on their website.
The event is organized by the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of Minnesota and The Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at Western Washington University.

Description:
With the increasing escalation of disinformation, it's essential to equip youth with media literacy skills. This Echoes & Reflections webinar provides the tools to teach about the role and impact of Nazi propaganda during the Holocaust and support students to critically analyze media in today’s world.
Media literacy skills have become essential for young people to successfully navigate and critically assess the ever-increasing amount of information they receive throughout their day - on social media, advertisements, television, and film. Therefore, it is crucial for students to comprehend and identify how media, both historically and in contemporary society, can be used as a tool to incite hate and violence against certain groups. This learning opportunity examines the events of the Holocaust through the lens of media, by examining propaganda deployed by the Nazis to discriminate against Jews and other minorities. Educators will gain the tools to facilitate classroom discussions on the role and impact of Nazi propaganda during the Holocaust and support their students to critically analyze media in today’s world.

Description:
The National Jewish Theater Foundation (NJTF) - Holocaust Theater International Initiative (HTII) "Remembrance Readings," in association with the New York Library for the Performing Arts is honoring International Holocaust Remembrance Day 1/27/2021 by showcasing the Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics' original production of Remember This: The Lesson of Jan Karski, starring Oscar-Nominated actor David Strathairn.Join Academy Award nominee David Strathairn (Good Night and Good Luck; Lincoln), writer director Derek Goldman, Emmy Award-winning film producer Eva Anisko, and playwright Clark Young for a program of performance and discussion featuring excerpts from Strathairn's virtuoso solo play performance (and forthcoming feature film) Remember This in which he embodies the story of Polish World War II hero and Holocaust witness Jan Karski. A courier for the Polish Underground, Karski volunteered at great risk to carry eyewitness reports of the destruction of the Jewish people of Poland to the Free World. From the underground tracks of Polish resistance to the despair of the Warsaw Ghetto and Nazi camps, to the Oval Office, this work explores and celebrates the complex life and legacy of a witness, spy, diplomat, hero, and Georgetown University Professor who overcame overwhelming odds to “shake the conscience of the world” -- connecting his belief in humanity, even in the darkest times, to our present moment. Performance excerpts will be followed by a discussion with the creative team, moderated by National Jewish Theater Foundation President and Founding Director of NJTF HTII at University of Miami Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies, Arnold Mittelman, about the theatrical production, the forthcoming film, and the Lab's related educational platform Bearing Witness: The Legacy of Jan Karski Today.Register here.
Launched in 2015 by NJTF HTII, Remembrance Readings are annual international events that invite Holocaust organizations, theater companies, schools and universities, places of worship, libraries, JCCs, educators, artists and the general public to use the power of theater to commemorate the Holocaust.

Description:
Please join the Chicago-Kent College of Law Center on National Security and Human Rights Law for a presentation focusing on the women who took part in the Nuremberg Trials.
The trials that began at Nuremberg 75 years ago are duly famous for prosecuting Nazi leaders and thus demonstrating that perpetrators of atrocities may face international criminal punishment. The trials depended on well-known men like the Chief U.S. Prosecutor, Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson. Less well known are the many women who took part as lawyers and legal professionals, translators and interpreters, witnesses and journalists – in short, in nearly every post except judge. This presentation, to be delivered on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, will tell the stories of these women of the Nuremberg trials.

Description:
Tour the American Visionary Art Museum's most beloved exhibited works in the museum's history—the fabric stories of Holocaust survivor Esther Krinitz that recount her memories as a teenager in Nazi Poland. The tour is given by Esther's daughter, Bernice Steinhardt, and observes International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Through works of art and other artifacts, the tour of the exhibition "Esther and the Dream of One Loving Human Family"
speaks to the effects of racism, antisemitism, and “othering” on our
common humanity. The program will highlight the art works of Holocaust
survivor, Esther Nisenthal Krinitz, who told her story of survival as a
young teenager in a narrated series of vividly colorful stitched
tapestries. Accompanying Esther’s art are works by artists from Rwanda,
South Africa and Indian Country, among others.
American Visionary Art Museum founder, director, and exhibition curator Rebecca Hoffberger
and Bernice Steinhardt, Esther’s daughter and co-founder of the
non-profit Art and Remembrance, will introduce viewers to selected works
and respond to audience questions.
You'll receive the link to join after you register here.
