Description:
The Warren Fellowship for Future Teachers, supported by The Warren Fellowship Fund, is developing a corps of educators who want to learn how to effectively teach about the Holocaust and other genocides. The fellowship takes place at Holocaust Museum Houston in Houston, Texas. (The 2021 Fellowship will be virtual.)
A selection committee will choose pre-service teacher educators, graduate students, and those interested in advocacy who want to learn more about the Holocaust, genocide, and human rights and how to teach about this history. Those selected will be designated as 2021 Warren Fellows. The Fellowship also welcomes applications for two Faculty Fellows, those who teach content and pedagogy to future educators at the university/college level. Those selected will be designated as 2021 Faculty Fellows of the Warren Fellowship.
Once accepted to this prestigious fellowship, participants attend a four-day virtual institute designed to immerse them in historical and pedagogical issues related to the Holocaust and other genocides. Only those applicants who commit to attending the entire Fellowship will be accepted.
Eminent scholars provide historical and academic content and university and Fellowship faculty and Museum staff provide pedagogical context. During the week, Fellows will have the opportunity to meet and work with survivors of the Holocaust and their families.
There are reading requirements before the Fellowship and several tasks to complete during the Fellowship.
Students who plan to teach at the university level or those interested in teaching elementary, middle or secondary school art, English/language arts, history, science, and social studies are encouraged to apply for the Warren Fellowship for Future Teachers. We also welcome applicants who are interested in related work in advocacy.
Applications are due March 12, 2021.
Apply here.

Description:
In the aftermath of the Holocaust, Jewish historian Zosa Szajkowski
gathered up tens of thousands of documents from Nazi buildings in
Berlin, and later, public archives and private synagogues in France, and
moved them all, illicitly, to New York. Dr. Lisa Leff reconstructed Szajkowski’s story in all its ambiguity in her 2015 book The Archive Thief: The Man Who Salvaged French Jewish History in the Wake of the Holocaust.
Join Leff and Dr. Jonathan Brent, Executive Director
and CEO of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, for a discussion
about Szajkowski’s story, the documents he stole, and what it all means
for those interested in preserving the past today.

Description:
The Defiant Requiem Foundation invites you to a special conversation with board member Tommy Baer entitled Evil Has a Name: Dinko Šakić
In 1995, as the newly elected international president of B’nai B’rith, Tommy Baer made it his mission to find Dinko Šakić – the brutal commandant of the Jasenovac concentration camp near Zagreb, Croatia, and the last of the living major WWII war criminals – and bring him to justice. Using a combination of diplomatic pressure mixed with political sensitivity, and drawing motivation from his own personal Holocaust history – losing three grandparents in the Theresienstadt (Terezín) concentration camp and escaping Nazi Germany with his family in 1939 at the age of one – Mr. Baer led a four-year effort that resulted in Dinko Šakić’s arrest, extradition, and conviction.
Please join The Defiant Requiem Foundation on Tuesday, May 25, 2021, at 6:30PM as Mr. Baer recounts this extraordinary journey in a conversation with Foundation President & Artistic Director Murry Sidlin.
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Register here.
