Description:
Perhaps the most notorious war criminal of all time, Josef Mengele
was the embodiment of bloodless efficiency and passionate devotion to
Nazism. His story is the subject of Mengele: Unmasking the Angel of Death, a definitive new biography by former Museum Director David G. Marwell, who was tasked with uncovering Mengele’s fate while he worked at the U.S. Justice Department in the 1980s.
Marwell’s book describes Mengele’s training and early promise as a
scientist; his wartime service in combat and at Auschwitz; and his
postwar refuge in Germany and South America. It chronicles the
international search for Mengele in 1985 that ended in a cemetery in São
Paulo, Brazil, and the dogged forensic investigation that eventually
confirmed his death.
Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage for a program exploring Mengele’s story. Marwell will be in conversation with Andrew Nagorski, an award-winning journalist and author of The Nazi Hunters and 1941: The Year Germany Lost the War.

Description:
During a time when our students have just witnessed an assault upon our nations’ Capitol, and an increase in antisemitism, racism and hate crimes, this lesson is particularly relevant. Tactics of Resistance gives them the opportunity to engage in critical thinking and decision making around resisting aggression and encourages them to examine the potential short and long-term outcomes of various actions.
Expand students’ thinking about the spectrum of possible responses to bigotry, genocide, and other forms of aggression—from non-violence to the armed resistance of the Jewish partisans. Learn how to use the “Resistance Matrix” with your students as a tool for analyzing and brainstorming the different solutions to conflict.
Workshop presenter Jonathan Furst, Director of Education, specializes in Holocaust education and professional development and has taught thousands of educators. He will answer your questions during and after the workshop.
Register for the workshop here.For more information, contact Dr. Adara Goldberg or Sheri RosenblumKean University (New Jersey) will issue 2 hours of continuing education credit.

Description:
ZAP! POW! BAM! These words jump off the page as Captain America and
Superman attack the comic book version of Adolf Hitler, who in reality
was anything but an imaginary evil.
Superheroes have always fought dangerous villains. Their battle
against Hitler in the 1940s taught children about World War II and the
Nazis. But it took years before the Holocaust and Jewish victims were
clearly illustrated and identified in popular comics and graphic novels.
Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to learn how artists like Joe Kubert and Art Spiegelman led the
industry to shed light on one of the darkest chapters in history.
GuestsDr. Samantha Baskind, Professor of Art History, Cleveland State UniversityEli Resnbaum, Director, Human Rights Enforcement Strategy and Policy, US Department of Justice

Description:
The Oyneg Shabes underground archive is the largest collection of Jewish documentation detailing Jewish life under Nazi occupation. Directed and organized by Polish Jewish historian, teacher, and social aid worker Dr. Emanuel Ringelblum, the work of the Oyneg Shabes continued, even when hundreds of thousands of Jews-including members of the archive-were deported from the Warsaw Ghetto to Treblinka in the summer of 1942.
In her book, Word Smugglers: A Story of Resistance in the Warsaw
Ghetto, Amy McDonald tells the story of the Oyneg Shabes archive from
the perspectives of Dr. Emanuel Ringelblum, Rachel Auerbach, Israel
Lichtenstein, David Graber, and Nahum Grzywacz. It is a story about a
courageous group of men, women, and young people who chose to resist and
fight back against cruelty and fear. This group did not fight back with
guns and weapons. They fought back with words, stories, and truth.
This two-hour workshop will provide ideas and guidance on
incorporating Word Smugglers into middle and high school Social Studies
and English/Language Arts curriculum. It will provide historical context
for the Nazi invasion and occupation of Poland, the Warsaw Ghetto, and
Jewish cultural, spiritual, and armed resistance.

Description:
Grandchildren of Holocaust survivors have made some of the most
compelling films and TV series about the Holocaust in recent years.
Their artistic choices are often a means of wrestling with the trauma in
their own family legacies. Each filmmaker also raises themes and
questions that are important to the social context of the country in
which they grew up.
Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage for a discussion with a psychologist and filmmakers
from different countries exploring the trauma, resilience, and key
questions behind documentary films made by grandchildren of survivors.
The program will feature:
Dr. Irit Felsen, an Israeli clinical psychologist
trained at Yale University who lives in New York and has extensive
experience working with Holocaust survivors and their families;
Alexa Karolinski, a German filmmaker and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors who co-wrote, produced, and co-created the Netflix series Unorthodox (2020) and the documentary Oma & Bella (2012); and
Noa Maiman, an Israeli filmmaker and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors who directed Oy Mama (2010) and also created the Toolkit for Rape Recovery video series.
This program is sponsored in part through the Battery Park City Authority community partnership
