legacy. Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides, we teach

interviewed 1,200 elderly Jews living in 15 European countries. We
asked our respondents to tell us their entire life stories spanning the
20th c. as they showed us their old family photographs. Centropa offers
teachers a database of thousands of annotated photos, hundreds of
interviews, and scores of award-winning, short multimedia films (no
longer than 30 minutes)—ideal for virtual or in-class projects that
teach digital literacy, promote critical thinking, increase global

the great cities of Central Europe to travel with 80 teachers from 15
countries; in 2022 we will be in Berlin. Join this webinar to learn

It is a joint project of the ADL, Shoah Foundation, and Yad Vashem, and can be used to teach the Holocaust over several days or several months.

She has taught various history courses for more than twenty years, including a Holocaust elective for ten years. Misty has taken graduate courses on the Holocaust, attended various conferences through the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and bore witness at Holocaust sites in Germany and Poland on teacher study tours.

Description:
Please join Yeshiva University for the 84th anniversary of Kristallnacht. Featuring a lecture by Dr. Efraim Zuroff on the struggle over the narrative of the Holocaust in Eastern Europe, including the troubling case of Lithuania.
OnlineLivestream available here.
About Dr. ZuroffDirector of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Dr. Zuroff is a historian and Nazi hunter who has played a key role in bringing indicted Nazi and fascist war criminals to trial.
About the LectureEver since the fall of the Soviet Union, the new democracies of Eastern Europe have adopted a false narrative, which hides or severely minimizes the highly-significant role of local collaborators in Holocaust crimes. In addition, they seek to direct attention to their suffering under Communism and thereby deflect attention from their participation in the mass murder of their Jewish citizens. Lithuania has been one of the worst offenders in this regard, and a leader of initiatives to promote the canard of equivalency between Nazi and Communist crimes. The lecture will present the historical background of this movement, and explain why it is so dangerous for the future of Holocaust commemoration, research, and education by closely examining its genesis and development in Lithuania.

Description:
A lyrical and dynamic pianist, Steinway Artist Carolyn Enger presents her multimedia program The Mischlinge Exposé at Center Makor. Interweaving video and audio testimony from Carolyn’s godmother and her father (both labeled Mischling, Grade A by the Nazis), with the music of composers from the salon period who converted to Christianity in the decades before the war, the program vividly illustrates what it was like to be between worlds in Germany in the first half of the 20th century. Through the telling of her family story, Ms. Enger’s The Mischlinge Exposé directly addresses universally significant issues of the multi-layered concept of identity and inclusion; encouraging empathy, tolerance, and engagement.
Free. Online and in-person: everyone who buys tickets in advance will receive a Zoom link prior to the event.

Description:
They met in secret to negotiate the unthinkable – compensation for
the survivors of the largest mass genocide in history. Survivors were
in urgent need of help, but how could reparations be determined for the
unprecedented destruction and suffering of a people? Reckonings explores
this untold true story set in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Directed
by award-winning filmmaker Roberta Grossman, Reckonings recounts the
tense negotiations between Jewish and German leaders. Under the constant
threat of violence, they forged ahead, knowing it would never be enough
but hoping it could at least be an acknowledgement and a step towards
healing.
Why the Austin Jewish Film Festival Likes This Film: An excellent documentary with information few people will have heard before. The film examines a critical moment in Jewish and Israeli history. An Austin JFF interview with Gideon Taylor, lay President of The Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany accompanies the movie.
Purchase tickets online here.
This film will be shown in-person on November 12th.
This film will be available virtually from November 14th - November 22nd.
