Description:
Living, as we do, in a time of unmitigated hatred,
hate crimes, acts of antisemitism and extremism, we must take steps of
awareness and action. With programming, to include social media posts
and a six-part workshop series (offered virtually), Holocaust Museum
Houston takes on a new kind of leadership and outreach.
The goal of the Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred Program
is to cultivate upstanders who are aware of the power of hatred in
human decision making and to provide community members an opportunity to
learn important concepts of history, civic awareness, and social
justice. This program empowers community members to reflect and act.
We
must find ways to talk and interact with each other beyond boundaries.
At the same time, we must create ways to disallow hatred in our culture,
two actions that may seem contradictory, but are essential in this time
of our society’s history.
In each session of the Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred sessions,
we will share a critique of a piece of hate rhetoric, extremism, and/or
antisemitism, with the goal of educating the community on how to
recognize, reflect on and respond to hateful content.
Coordinated
with social media outreach, we offer a series of six workshops
co-facilitated by Mary Lee Webeck, Ph.D., Holocaust and Genocide
Education Endowed Chair – Celebrating the Life of Survivor Naomi Warren
and Beverly Nolan, Ed.D., Chair – Education Advisory Committee,
Holocaust Museum Houston.
Each session will be rebroadcast at 6:30 p.m. on its scheduled date.

Description:
The Netherlands confronted the Second World War as an empire. But for seventy five years, the Netherlands—like so many other of the conflict’s participants—has remembered the Second World War as a nation. The voices and narratives of the Dutch metropole have consistently drowned out those of its colonies, resulting in a segregation of the two that ironically calls to mind the social segregation that was itself a hallmark of empire. Whether in narratives emphasizing the heroic black and white of Dutch resistance to fascist aggression, or those acknowledging the nuanced, ambiguous “grey” of a nation with a more complicated record on the wartime resistance front, the protagonists of the Netherlands’ Second World War are always, inevitably, Dutch nationals. Revisiting the “forgotten” Second World War experience of three people in the Netherlands with colonial attachments (the Suriname-born scholar, anticolonial activist and resistance fighter Anton de Kom, the Indonesia-born sculptor and antifascist resistor Frits van Hall, and the avowed imperialist J.B. van Heutsz Jr., son of the Netherlands Indies’ most famous governor-general), this presentation will seek to highlight the alternative color palate that emerges when we envision and remember the Netherlands as an empire in the Second World War.Dr. Ethan Mark is an associate professor of Modern History at Leiden University. He specializes in modern Japanese history, with particular expertise in Japanese imperialism and the social and cultural history of the 1920s-1940s. Dr. Mark's interests and thinking gravitate more towards cross-border questions and dynamics than to those contained within them. He is also a scholar of modern Indonesia, and much of his research has revolved around Japan’s occupation of Indonesia in the Second World War as viewed and experienced by both Japanese and Indonesians, within a broader global context of interwar crisis.

Description:
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's First Person: Conversations with Holocaust Survivors is a monthly hour-long discussion with a survivor and journalist Bill Benson. The 2021 season will premiere with Peter Feigl, who will discuss his Holocaust experiences and how he survived in hiding without his parents or extended family.
In May 1944, Peter waited for his chance to run to freedom after years spent hiding from the Nazis in France. When the dogs barked, signaling a Nazi guard change at the French border, the Jewish teenager sprinted amid gunfire toward neutral Switzerland. Watch live and ask Peter a question.
You do not need a YouTube account to view this program. After the live broadcast, it will be available to watch on demand on the USHMM's YouTube page.
First Person is made possible through generous support from the Louis Franklin Smith Foundation, with additional funding from the Arlene and Daniel Fisher Foundation.

Description:
In the hills of eastern Bosnia
and Herzegovina sits the small town of Srebrenica–once known for silver mines
and health spas, now infamous for the genocide that occurred there during the
Bosnian War. In July 1995, when the town fell to Serbian forces, 12,000 Muslim
men and boys fled through the woods, seeking safe territory. Hunted for six
days, more than 8,000 were captured, killed at execution sites and later buried
in mass graves.
In honor of Genocide Awareness
Month, join the Kupferberg Holocaust Center at Queensborough Community College for a special conversation with the authors of Voices from Srebrenica: Survivor
Narratives of the Bosnian Genocide, who will discuss the practical
and ethical challenges of working with heavily traumatized survivors; why it’s
crucial to document their lives before, during, and after the war; as well as
how and why the tragic lessons of the Holocaust remain relevant. Featuring
Hasan Hasanović, head of research at the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial
and himself a genocide survivor, and Ann Petrila, professor
of practice and coordinator of Global Initiatives at the University of
Denver’s Graduate School of Social Work.
Register here.
This event is organized by the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg
Holocaust Center at Queensborough Community College and is presented in
partnership by The Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights at
Rutgers University; The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center
in Cincinnati; The Holocaust, Genocide and Interfaith Education Center at
