Join Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio for an evening with Jori as she discusses her book, The Upstander: How Surviving the Holocaust Sparked Max Glauben's Mission to Dismantle Hate.
Click here to register.
Holocaust survivor Max Glauben is on a mission—to
outlast hate, to preserve memory, and to compel the world to embrace
tolerance.The stench of decay pierced the
air aboard the boxcar of trapped Jews. “Why me?” fifteen-year-old Max
asked himself, as a convoy rumbled from the Warsaw Ghetto to Majdanek
death camp in May 1943.The Nazis had destroyed the Glauben
family’s business, upended their rights, and ultimately decimated their
neighborhood. The deluge of questions would only intensify after the
Nazis murdered Max’s mother, father, and brother. Max channeled grit,
determination, and a fortuitous knack for manufacturing airplane parts
to outlast six horrific concentration camps in his quest to survive.This
memoir explores Max’s mischievous childhood and teen years as a go-to
ghetto smuggler. Max journeys from displaced person to American
immigrant and Korean veteran. He reveals how he ached as he dared to
court love and rear children. For decades, he bottled up his trauma.
Then he realized: He could transform his pain into purpose.Infused
with raw emotion and vivid detail, historical records and Max’s
poignant voice, this 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.In the seventy-five years since his
liberation, Max has ceased to ask himself, “Why me?” Instead, he
reframes his focus, eager to partner with you and ask: “What can we do
next?”

Description:
Beginning in May 1933, university students in Nazi clubs across
Germany orchestrated a destructive campaign to burn thousands of books
and other materials considered “un-German.” The works of Jewish writers
like Sigmund Freud and political activists like Helen Keller were among
countless others scorched in festive ceremonies celebrating Nazi
ideology. Even children's books were destroyed.
The Nazi regime’s early efforts to control the thoughts and lives of
its citizens foreshadowed more brutal threats on the horizon. As
campaigns to ban books and control information resurface today, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
invites you to join us for this timely program.
GuestsDeborah Caldwell-Stone, Director, American Library Association Office for Intellectual Freedom Lindsay MacNeill, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Description:
Antisemitism remains alive and present, manifesting as violent attacks like the Tree of Life shooting as well as biased and exclusionary rhetoric from both the far-right and the far-left. Josh Lipowsky, a senior research analyst with the Counter Extremism Project and a fellow 3G, will guide us on this topic as he unpacks the “new antisemitism” and the modern incarnations of the world’s oldest hatred. He holds degrees in global affairs, journalism, Jewish studies, and Hebrew, and he previously worked as an award-winning journalist for multiple Jewish media outlets covering antisemitism and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) is an international policy organization combating the growing threat from extremist ideologies, including antisemitism. CEP researchers monitor extremist movements around the world to educate the public, policymakers, the private sector, and civil society leaders about current threats. CEP has also specifically developed in-depth resources on the current surge in antisemitism to help the Jewish community and its allies identify and confront this hatred in all its forms.

Description:
This is an in-person program.
Between 1942 and 1945, the U.S. government wrongfully imprisoned tens
of thousands of Japanese American citizens and profited from their
labor, coercing them into harvesting crops, digging irrigation ditches,
paving roads, and building barracks for little to no compensation – all
in the name of national security.
Join Stephanie D. Hinnershitz, author of Japanese American Incarceration: The Camps and Coerced Labor during World War II,
as she discusses how the U.S. government used incarceration to address
labor demands during World War II and how Japanese Americans responded
to the stripping of their rights.
This program is presented in partnership with the Center for Presidential History at SMU and in conjunction with our current special exhibition, Courage and Compassion: The Japanese American World War II Experience, on view at the Museum through June 12, 2022. The special exhibition will be available to view beginning at 6:00 p.m.
