Description:
When the Allies landed in North Africa in November 1942, it marked a global turning point of World War II. Few know, however, that their path into the capital of Algiers was paved by a band of largely Jewish resisters who teamed with Far Right French military brass and businessmen to take control of the city.
*Hosted virtually by the Minneapolis JCC. Register here.
At the center of the story was the
Aboulker family, an extraordinary clan of prominent doctors, military
veterans, philanthropists and Jewish community activists. Believing
themselves the direct descendants of King David, they took up their
cause with a potent sense of destiny and charisma.
Ethan Katz is Associate Professor of
History and Jewish Studies at the University of California, Berkeley,
where he is the co-founder and co-director of the Berkeley Antisemitism
Education Initiative. A scholar of Jewish-Muslim relations, Jews in
colonial societies, Holocaust studies, and the interplay between

Description:
Become part of an international community that actively helps build the largest digital memorial to the victims of National Socialism. During this 48 hour challenge, we will help index documents from the Central Location Index (CLI) at Yad Vashem, which have never been indexed before.It’s very easy to join in. You don’t need any special knowledge to take part. Register here.During this event, Giora Zwilling gives a tour through the Arolsen Archives. Then you will roll up your sleeves and actively enter data, guided and assisted by Elizabeth Berkowitz from New York and Katharina Menschick from Arolsen.Introduced by Rachel Stern, Director and CEO of the Fritz Ascher Society in New York.The Central Location Index (CLI) was an umbrella organization based in New York that coordinated the search for missing relatives – Jewish and non-Jewish – between 1944 and 1949. Most of the organizations who joined together under this banner to concentrate their efforts were American, but some came from other parts of the world. Before very long, the new organization had become one of the leading tracing agencies for missing relatives.For this indexing challenge, we are collecting basic information about the missing persons recorded on the cards: e.g. their name, date of birth, place of birth, or profession. The cards also show the last known whereabouts of the person concerned, the details of the person who filed the tracing request at the time, and information on where surviving relatives might be found.(Note: Your registration details will be added to our mailing list.

Description:
Eighty years since the Holocaust began, violent
antisemitism remains a threat—as witnessed at a Texas synagogue this
month. The lessons of this history have never been more relevant and
will be the focus of this solemn event marking International Holocaust
Remembrance Day—designated by the United Nations to be January 27, the
anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum hopes you will
join them as survivors reflect on and honor the lives of Europe’s Jews—who
were targeted for annihilation—other victims of Nazi persecution, and
individuals who chose to help.
Also on January 27, at 8:30AM CDT, join USHMM for The Difference between Life and Death: Choices That Saved a Young Boy.
From the moment he was born in 1942 in Slovakia, Arye Ephrath was in
danger. Join a live conversation and Q&A to learn how individuals
sacrificed to help him survive the Holocaust. After the live broadcast,
the recording will be available to watch on demand on USHMM’s Facebook and YouTube pages.
