Description:
This event features a conversation between Rachel Stern and David de Jong, author of the landmark work of investigative journalism, Nazi Billionaires The Dark History of Germany's Wealthiest Dynasties, which reveals the true story of how Germany’s wealthiest business dynasties amassed untold money and power by abetting the atrocities of the Third Reich – and how America knowingly allowed these horrors to happen.
In 1946, Günther Quandt – patriarch of Germany’s most iconic industrial empire, a dynasty that today controls BMW – was arrested for suspected Nazi collaboration. Quandt claimed that he had been forced to join the party by his archrival, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, and the courts acquitted him. But Quandt lied. And his heirs, and those of other Nazi billionaires, have only grown wealthier in the generations since, while their reckoning with this dark past remains incomplete at best. Many of them continue to control swaths of the world economy, owning iconic brands whose products blanket the globe. The brutal legacy of the dynasties that dominated Daimler-Benz, cofounded Allianz, and still control Porsche, Volkswagen, and BMW has remained hidden in plain sight—until now.
Using a wealth of untapped sources, Nazi Billionnaires shows how these tycoons seized Jewish businesses, procured slave laborers, and ramped up weapons production to equip Hitler’s army as Europe burned around them. Most shocking of all, de Jong exposes how America’s political expediency enabled these billionaires to get away with their crimes, covering up a bloodstain that defiles the German and global economies to this day.
Author David de Jong and Rachel Stern in conversation. Organized by The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art, New York.

Description:
Rose-Helene Spreiregen remembers the German occupation of Paris in 1940 and her mother’s arrest and deportation in 1942. Accompanied only by her terrified grandmother who spoke little French, Rose-Helene shouldered adult responsibilities as fundamental as finding food. In 1943, at the age of 12, she and her grandmother used false papers to flee on an overnight train to the south, where they hoped they would be safer. Rose-Helene again acted as the adult, telling her grandmother to feign sleep while she faced the German and French police checkpoints alone. She later recalled, “I don’t think I was ever more scared.”
Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to hear how Rose-Helene’s maturity and determination saved her grandmother’s life, and her own.

Description:
In implementing the "Final Solution," the Germans and their collaborators tore millions of Jews from their homes and deported them to their deaths, obliterating centuries-old Jewish communities throughout Europe. July marks the 80th anniversary of the Great Deportation from the Warsaw Ghetto, when up to 300,000 Jews were rounded up and brutally deported to the Treblinka Death Camp. Echoes & Reflections will use this anniversary to discuss the deportation process using short films and primary sources including letters, testimonies and artwork. Liz Elsby, Yad Vashem educator, will guide you through this session.
Register here.
Our webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.

Description:
Join the Fritz Ascher Society to hear a lively presentation by Hans von Trotha, author of Pollak’s Arm, and a penetrating conversation between him and Georgetown University Professor Ori Z Soltes.
Register here.
Ludwig Pollak (Prague 1868-1943 Auschwitz) was an extraordinary connoisseur of antiquities–an Austro-Hungarian Jew whose path into academia was impeded by his religion, but who settled in Rome, where he carved out a unique place for himself as an expert in recognizing, understanding, and organizing great works of art. It was he who shaped and articulated the magnificent collections of JP Morgan. Of perhaps even greater consequence, his astute eye saw a sculpted fragment of an arm in a flea market that, he deduced, was the limb missing from the spectacular Hellenistic-Roman sculptural group known as Laocoon. He gifted that arm fragment to the Vatican so that it might complete the work that occupied an important place within its museum collections.

of a small Polish village at the precipice of World War II.
