Description:
Forced into a ghetto during the Nazi occupation, Kraków’s Jewish
residents lived in overcrowded buildings, isolated from the rest of the
city by fences and a wall. They endured forced labor and were deprived
of basic needs like food and sanitation. By contrast, the Nazi
perpetrators dominated the rest of the city, benefiting from their
power, privilege, and exploitation of Jews.
Learn how digital maps and models, combined with a Holocaust
survivor’s diary and other traditional primary sources, expand what is
known about the overlap in victims’ experiences and perpetrators’ plans.

Your Life in a Shoebox: From prominent professionals to refugees, the story of one Jewish family's escape from the Nazi regime.

Description:
Holocaust Museum LA invites you to join them and Jewish communities and organizations across the world as they honor Holocaust survivors and celebrate the inaugural Holocaust Survivor Day on June 24th.
Holocaust survivors symbolize the depth and resilience of the Jewish spirit and deserve to be honored and celebrated. They witnessed the worst that humankind is capable of and maintained their humanity, moral conduct, and belief in the sanctity of human life despite their experiences. Survivors were displaced, persecuted, discriminated against, tortured, and dehumanized; they coped and lived through extreme difficulties and survived. As stewards of their memories, we strive to act with honor, human decency, and respect. Holocaust Museum LA teaches the survivors' stories as a powerful antidote to the rising tide of bigotry, hatred, and antisemitism.
Each community will decide how best to honor, celebrate, and support its survivors, and at 8PM in your respective time zone, we ask that you say the name of a survivor.
On June 24, at 1PM CST, join Holocaust Museum LA in stewarding this important history as they pay tribute to Holocaust Museum LA’s dedicated, inspiring, and resilient survivor community. In a virtual program, a panel of Holocaust survivors will share their remarkable stories of survival as well as what motivates them to continue to speak out against bigotry, hatred, and antisemitism.

Description:
It was a daring and dangerous mission. To try to protect the true
identities of Jews and resistance fighters hiding behind false ID cards,
members of a Dutch resistance group knew they had to destroy the
originals. Dressed as policemen, they entered the Amsterdam Registry and
set off explosions that burned 800,000 identity cards. This Pride
Month, join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and learn about Frieda Belinfante, one of Europe’s first female
conductors and a Jewish lesbian, and painter Willem Arondeus, the gay
leader of this group of artists turned resisters.
