Description:
Tony Acevedo was a devoted American despite the discrimination he
faced because of his Mexican heritage. He was among more than 500,000
Latino men and women who served the US military during World War II.
Even after he was captured and tortured by the Germans, Tony’s
dedication to his fellow soldiers never wavered. He tended to their
medical and spiritual needs and risked his life to record their
experiences in captivity in a secret diary. Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum during Hispanic
Heritage Month as they recognize the courageous contributions Tony and
other Mexican Americans made to help the Allies defeat Nazi Germany and
win the war.

Description:
Criminalization-Surveillance-Resistance: Roma & Policing from the Holocaust to the PresentThis virtual workshop explores the history of race and policing through the experiences of European Roma from the late 19th century through the Holocaust and into the present.
This virtual workshop explores the history of race and policing
through the experiences of European Roma from the late 19th century
through the Holocaust and into the present. Scholars from the US,
Europe, and beyond will address the confluence of the criminalization
and racialization of the category of “Gypsy,” the role of the police in
the persecution and genocide of Roma in the Holocaust, and the legacies
of this history for Romani communities to the present day. The program
will open with a roundtable of scholars and activists who will address
the contemporary stakes of the history of the criminalization and police
persecution of Roma in Europe and explore resonances with parallel
histories of race and policing in the American context.
Presented by: The Center for Austrian Studies, The Center for
Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and the Institute for Global Studies

The White Rose - Anti-Nazi Resistance: The Remarkable German Students who Defied Hitler Dr. Jud Newborn in conversation with Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff
Sophie Magdalena Scholl is not the best-known resistance fighter, but her story is a powerful one. She was a key member of the White Rose—a resistance group run by students at the University of Munich who distributed leaflets and used graffiti to decry Nazi crimes and the political system, while calling for resistance to the Nazi state and the war. On February 22, 1943, she was beheaded for treason at just 21 years old.

Description:
The U.S. and the Holocaust is a three-part, six hour series that examines America’s response to one of the greatest humanitarian crises of the twentieth century. Americans consider themselves a “nation of immigrants,” but as the catastrophe of the Holocaust unfolded in Europe, the United States proved unwilling to open its doors to more than a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of desperate people seeking refuge. Through riveting firsthand testimony of witnesses and survivors who as children endured persecution, violence and flight as their families tried to escape Hitler, this series delves deeply into the tragic human consequences of public indifference, bureaucratic red tape and restrictive quota laws in America. Did the nation fail to live up to its ideals? This is a history to be reckoned with.

Description:
Reports out of Germany in the late 1930s and early 1940s showed that
life was increasingly dangerous for Jews. Some Americans urged the US
government to offer refuge to those attempting to flee, but most did not
want to open the doors. In 1939, 20,000 Americans packed Madison Square
Garden—the stage adorned with swastikas and American flags—for a
pro-Nazi rally. Outside, 100,000 Americans protested the event.
Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum live on Facebook, September 21 at 8:30AM CDT, to learn how our divided nation responded to Nazi persecution in Europe.

Description:
The Holocaust Speaker Series, held each Wednesday at 10:00AM (Central),
features Holocaust survivors and descendants of survivors sharing
stories of life before, during, and after the Holocaust. Join Holocaust & Humanity Center on Wednesday, September 21 at 10:00AM via Zoom with Celia Kener.
Register here.
Celia
Kener was born in 1935 in Lvov, Poland. When the Germans invaded in
1941, life totally changed. Her father was drafted into the Russian army
while the rest of her family moved into the ghetto. Celia’s mother was
selected for a labor camp and was periodically brought in to visit the
family on weekends. Her mother found a childless Catholic couple and
promised her daughter to them because she didn’t think that she herself
would survive. Celia was eventually reunited with her mother. The family
was liberated by the Russians. Her father escaped the Russian army to
an Uzbekistan Displaced Persons camp under an assumed name and survived.
Celia and her parents came to the United States in 1949.
Generously sponsored by Margaret and Michael Valentine and presented in partnership with the Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center and the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage.
