Description:
In 1942, on the run from the Nazis, 8-year old Sally and her family knocked on the door of a Polish farmer they knew and asked him to shelter them. The farmer agreed, ultimately hiding 15 family members in his cramped attic in rural Poland. Here they existed in silence for two years in constant fear of being discovered by the Nazis and their sympathizers. During this Echoes & Reflections webinar, you will hear from Sally Frishberg as she shares her incredible story of rescue.
**This webinar is also open to students. Teachers, please ask your students to register here.**

Description:
For 70 of her 86 years, the Berlin artist Jeanne Mammen (1890-1976) worked with her hands and created unique sketches, paintings and sculptures. With the beginning of the Nazi era in 1933, many of their buyers had to leave Germany. Jeanne Mammen emigrated from within and created her works in secret for the next 12 years. Her artwork shows her critical view to the circumstances in which she has to live. Her studio, which she moved into in 1920, still exists today Ku'damm 29 almost unchanged and allows us to come very close to this artist and her work.Lecture by Dr. Martina Weinland, Commissioner for Cultural Heritage at the Museum of the City of Berlin in Berlin (Germany).

Description:
Leading international scholars of the Holocaust and genocide
will highlight women rescuers and resisters in daily life, in ghettos, forests,
labor and death camps, including Jewish and non-Jewish women professionals and
partisans. Often overlooked, women were
critical to the Jewish underground and other resistance networks as armed
fighters and strategists, as couriers of intelligence and false papers and in
operating educational, cultural and humanitarian initiatives. This
symposium hopes to create a new narrative around agency in the Shoah and other
genocides and to promote a rethinking of leadership in Holocaust resistance and
rescue, which may inspire transformative activism today.

Description:
Join the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum for a four-part
series on antisemitism. Through these public programs, the museum aims
to foster an increased understanding of the origins and history of
antisemitism, to discuss the recent increase in antisemitism globally
and in the United States, and to identify concrete steps that can be
taken to confront and disrupt antisemitism. For these sessions, the
museum will convene a diverse group of experts to share their knowledge,
experiences, and ideas.
In the second session of this series, the museum will assemble a panel of experts to discuss antisemitism in the United States: what it looks like, where it comes from, and its increasing presence. The conversation will focus on antisemitic speech and action from the political right, from the political left, and on college campuses.
Registration coming soon.

Description:
Have you noticed how often people call someone they disagree with a
Nazi? Or compare controversial rules and laws to the Nazi persecution of
Jews? For Holocaust survivors, these comparisons are not casual
references. They evoke the most traumatic moments of their lives:
friends who turned on them, a cherished sibling murdered, constant fear
because of their identity.
The Holocaust is human history. From it we can learn how societies
fail to protect their own and the dangers of unchecked antisemitism and
hate. Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to hear survivors describe their personal experiences in
video testimony, and explore how careless comparisons can be both
painful and dangerous.
SpeakerDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
HostDr. Lisa Leff, Director, Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies

You do not need a Facebook account to view their program. After the

Description:
Join Echoes & Reflections and the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum for a virtual discussion and Q&A with Holocaust Survivor Max Glauben on his newly published book, The Upstander: How Surviving the Holocaust Sparked Max Glauben’s Mission to Dismantle Hate. In it, Max explores his mischievous childhood and teen years as a go-to ghetto smuggler. He narrates his journey from the camps to American immigrant and Korean veteran. For decades, he bottled up his trauma. Then he realized: He could transform his pain into purpose. His memoir relays the true story of the harrowing violence and dehumanization Max endured. It relays Max’s powerful lifetime commitment to actively thwarting hate and galvanizing resilience. Max insists you, too, can transform your adversity into your greatest strength. It is recommended that participants read The Upstander before attending the program.

Description:
On the eve of WWII, as conditions in Europe deteriorated and countries closed their borders to refugees, Jewish organizations persuaded the British government to allow 10,000 children to enter the United Kingdom as temporary residents. This rescue mission is known as the Kindertransport. The vast majority of these children were Jewish - one of whom was Henry Foner (then called Heinz Lifschitz).
During this Echoes & Reflections webinar, Yad Vashem educator Liz Elsby will provide background information about the Kindertransport. Participants will also meet Henry Foner who will speak about his experiences as a child on the Kindertransport.
