Description:
Can love be a form of resistance? Did it help people survive during the Holocaust? Especially conceived of for Valentine’s Day, this Echoes & Reflections webinar open to students and their teachers, led by Sheryl Ochayon - Echoes & Reflections Director at Yad Vashem, will shine a light on the human story behind the statistics of the Holocaust. Love often allowed the victims to attempt to retain their humanity in the face of dehumanization and hopeless circumstances, and often led to some very brave decisions. We will tell love stories and find lessons in them about resilience and the human spirit.
Educators register here. Please do not submit this form if you are a K-12 student. This webinar should be viewed in a classroom with your teacher.

Description:
In a matter of hours, they were tried, convicted,
and beheaded for the crime of treason. These young friends had dared to
oppose the Nazi regime—and were caught in a crucial moment, when the
Germans feared their grip on the public was slipping.
In urgent, pleading messages, copied and mailed to thousands of
Germans, the members of the “White Rose” resistance group begged their
fellow citizens to rise up. Their voices went unheard then, but today
the group is a symbol of righteous rebellion. On this anniversary of the
first execution, learn their story.

Description:
The White Rose was founded in 1942 by several students at the
University of Munich, including Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans. The
members were united against Nazi policies and began writing and
distributing leaflets calling on the German people to take action to
stop injustice and genocide. In 1943, Hans and Sophie Scholl were
arrested by the Gestapo after they distributed leaflets to students at
their university. Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst,
another member of the group, were executed on February 22, 1943. Since
then, the White Rose, and Sophie Scholl specifically, have become a
symbol of resistance during WWII.
Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage for a program examining Sophie Scholl and the White Rose. The program will feature a conversation between Wolfgang Huber, the son of White Rose member Kurt Huber and Professor Emeritus at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstad; Frank McDonough, author of Sophie Scholl: The Real Story of the Woman Who Defied Hitler; and Nathan Stoltzfus,
the Dorothy and Jonathan Rintels Professor of Holocaust Studies at
Florida State University. The conversation will be moderated by Lori Weintrob,
Professor of History at Wagner College and founding director of the
Wagner College Holocaust Center. The program will be accompanied by a
virtual screening of the Academy Award nominated film Sophie Scholl: The Final Days. Attendees will receive a private link to stream the film one week before the program.
