Description:
In 1942, Nazi doctors subjected Jadwiga Dzido to barbaric “medical”
experiments at the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Germany. She was
among more than 70 female prisoners, mostly Polish, treated as human
guinea pigs. Survivors resisted in a number of ways, including using a
camera smuggled into the camp to document their abuse. The secret photos
and trial testimony from Jadwiga and others helped bring some of the
perpetrators to justice.
Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum during Disability Awareness Month to learn about the innocent women subjected to experiments in the name of science.

He was among more than 500,000 Latino men and women who served in the United States 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.
Chavarría will also discuss the roles of Mexican American women in the role of the defense industry and on the home front.

Keynote by Eric Schmalz of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum History Unfolded program.
Register here.
PD hours and co-curricular credits will be provided.
"While participating in the project, students will be engaged in critical thinking and primary source research. They will be riveted by readings—newspapers from the 1930s and 1940s—so different from their usual assignments. Just ask Lisa Henry, an English teacher in Lexington, Kentucky, who told us “history came alive” for her students as they searched for articles about the Holocaust in their local newspaper archives." - History Unfolded

“My husband and I were supposed to be part of the million and a half children who were killed. Instead, we found each other—I think it was meant to be—and we started a family. I don’t say it’s a victory, but it is a story of survival.”
And it’s much more than that. It is a tale of remembrance and healing and especially love.
“I know there are some worse stories of people being treated horrifically, but this story is one of hope in the end. You can’t just focus on the worst of us. You always want to end it with some hope.”
All presentations/discussions will be held on Zoom and will be one hour in length. Professional Development contact hours are available to teachers upon request.

Description:
Frank Cohn was nine years old when his favorite teacher began wearing
a Nazi uniform, classmates sang Nazi songs, and he was chased by a gang
of Hitler Youth. Frank outran them. It was 1934 in Germany. Frank’s
father went to New York City to secure an affidavit and the family
reunited there on October 30, 1938—ten days before Germany’s night of
nation-wide violence known as Kristallnacht. “The timing of our escape
was indeed a miracle,” said Frank.
After the US entered World War II, Frank was drafted, sworn in as an
American citizen, and served in an Intelligence unit after the Army
learned he could speak German.
