Description:
This is an in-person program.
In 2008, British filmmaker Luke Holland began interviewing the last
living generation of Germans to have participated in Adolf Hitler’s
Third Reich – not the infamously chilling names in history books, but
the everyday citizens who carried out the plans made by the architects
of genocide. These were the young men and women, then just starting
their adult lives, who became SS members, Wehrmacht fighters,
concentration camp guards, and silent civilian witnesses. More than a
decade and 250 interviews later, Holland created Final Account,
a film that reflects, in the most direct and personal way, on the
question of how otherwise ordinary people took part in one of the most
extraordinary of all human crimes.
A discussion between Dr. Sara Abosch-Jacobson, Barbara Rabin Chief
Education Officer at DHHRM, and Bart Weiss, filmmaker,
founder/director of Dallas VideoFest, and artistic director of 3 Stars
Jewish Cinema, follows the screening.
Bart Weiss is an award-winning independent film and
video producer, director, editor, and educator who has lived in Dallas
since 1981. He is the director and founder of the Dallas VideoFest,
Artistic Director of 3 Stars Jewish Cinema, and producer of the TV show
“Frame of Mind” on KERA. He has taught film and video at Texas A&M's
Visualization Lab, Southern Methodist University, the University of
Texas at Austin, and West Virginia State College and is currently an
Associate Professor at UT Arlington. Previous roles include President of
the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers, founding board
member of Dallas Artists Research and Exhibition, and Vice President of
the Texas Association of Film and Tape Professionals. He has been a
video columnist for The Dallas Morning News, Dallas Times Herald, and United Features Syndicate.
This program is part of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum's Permanent Exhibition Highlight Series.

Description:
Discover one of the most important and powerful achievements of the 20th century – the singular and complex artwork Life? Or Theatre? by German-Jewish artist, Charlotte Salomon – which through imagery and text tell the slightly fictionalized and theatrically imagined story of Salomon’s family. Charlotte Salomon: Life? Or Theatre? is on view August 19 through December 4, 2022, in Holocaust Museum Houston’s Edith and Josef Mincberg Gallery.
This major exhibition features over 200 small gouaches on paper which Salomon created as part of a larger body of work in the early 1940s when in hiding from Nazi oppressors. These remarkable gouaches unveil a vivid self-portrait spanning across all facets of Salomon’s existence: from a complicated family life, growing up in Berlin, the rise of the Nazis, to her exile to France.
The exhibition Charlotte Salomon: Life? Or Theatre? has been organized in cooperation with the Amsterdam Jewish Museum. Owner of the copyrights is Charlotte Salomon Foundation, Amsterdam.

Description:
Join
Holocaust Museum Houston for a special presentation by Rwandan genocide
survivor Henriette Mutegwaraba, as she recalls in her memoir, By Any Means Necessary - Healing and Forgiveness After Genocide,
an idyllic childhood in 1970s Rwanda—idyllic until the day her
fifth-year teacher called her out for being a “Tutsi cockroach.” She’d
never heard that term, but as Mr. Wilson went on to explain, “We [Hutus]
tried to kill them [Tutsis] in 1959, and they’re still around. Like
cockroaches, the Tutsi are hard to exterminate.”
It was Henriette’s
first encounter with systematic discrimination, and her country’s deeply
held belief that one tribe was superior to another. A decade later,
that hate would manifest as the Rwandan genocide against Tutsis. Of her
large and loving extended family, Henriette alone would survive to tell
her story, which is really the story of Rwanda. A book for government
leaders, peace and human rights activists, young people, and anyone else
who has ever felt “different” because of how God created them, By Any Means Necessary follows
Henriette on her harrowing journey to escape a violent death, help
rebuild a broken people, and ultimately, learn to forgive those who
killed everyone she loved.
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.

Description:
With antisemitism and Holocaust denial on the rise, and the
number of Holocaust survivors able to provide firsthand accounts of the horror
they experienced dwindling, CNN will air Never Again: The United States Holocaust Memorial
Museum, A Tour with Wolf Blitzer on
Friday, August 26 at 11pmET. Join
Anchor Wolf
Blitzer, the child of Holocaust survivors and grandson of four victims of
the Holocaust, as he takes viewers on a journey through the United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, guided by the museum’s director
Sara Bloomfield and audio and video recordings of his own father’s Holocaust
survival story.
This impactful and deeply
personal report takes viewers beyond the walls of the museum, interviewing a
leading historian, a Holocaust survivor, and a young museum volunteer to look
at how the Holocaust is remembered, and
forgotten, in today’s America.
Viewers will follow Blitzer as he tours the museum and reflects on the history
of the Holocaust, his family’s place in that history, and his role as the child
of survivors to carry on their legacy of Holocaust education. An ancient hate
ignited the Holocaust, but it was ignorance that fueled it, and with ignorance
and hate on the rise, the
history of the Holocaust must be remembered by all to ensure that nothing like
it can ever be allowed to happen again.
Never
Again: The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, A Tour with Wolf Blitzer will stream live for pay TV
subscribers via CNN.com and CNN OTT and mobile apps under “TV Channels,” or
CNNgo where available. The doc will also be available On Demand beginning
Saturday, Aug 27, to pay TV subscribers via CNN.com, CNN apps, and Cable
Operator Platforms.

Description:
About the filmTraveling in Europe in August 1938, one year before the outbreak of World War II, David Kurtz captured three minutes of ordinary life in the small, predominantly Jewish town of Nasielsk, Poland, on 16mm Kodachrome color film. Now, a book by Glenn Kurtz, David's grandson who originally uncovered the lost footage, has been adapted into a film, Three Minutes - A Lengthening.
The three minutes of footage, mostly in color, are the only moving images left of the Jewish inhabitants of Nasielsk before the Holocaust. The existing three minutes are examined to unravel the human stories hidden in the celluloid. The footage is imaginatively edited with different voices that enhance the images, to create a film of home movie footage which has become a memorial to an entire community – an entire culture annihilated in the Holocaust.
This film will be shown from August 25 - September 1 at Santikos Embassy 14.
Click here to watch the trailer.
Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio (HMMSA) hopes that you will join them as a community on Sunday, August 28 at the 3:20PM screening at Santikos Embassy 14.
