Description:
Alcohol played an important role during the Holocaust. Its functions, however, varied greatly. In this lecture, Sina Fabian explores the different ways German perpetrators and Jewish survivors used alcohol, including perpetrators using alcohol during or after mass killings, Jews using alcohol as a tool for resistance and survival, and people using liquor after the Holocaust as a coping mechanism.
The talk draws on testimonies from the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive, as well as on interrogations with former members of Einsatzgruppe D.

Sina Fabian is Assistant Professor of 20th Century German History at Humboldt University of Berlin in Germany and a Visiting Scholar at the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research during Fall 2022. She earned her PhD in Contemporary History at the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History at the University of Potsdam in Germany. Read more about Professor Fabian here.

Workshop for Educators: Jewish Resistance During the Holocaust
During
World War II, the majority of European Jews were imprisoned by the
Nazis in ghettos before being deported to concentration camps or “work
camps” where they were starved, murdered, or worked to death. Yet,
approximately 30,000 Jews, many of whom were teenagers, escaped the
Nazis to form organized resistance groups. These Jews are known as the
Jewish partisans who fought against the enemy throughout much of Europe.
Using the film Defiance (starring Daniel Craig) as background, participants will:
• Become familiar with the history of Jewish partisans
• Engage in discussion about the complex ethical issues partisans faced
• Differentiate between authority and leadership
• Discover underlying Jewish values that influenced the actions of partisans
• Explore primary sources and relate them to modern, historical, and personal issues

Description:
Join the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum for a book discussion led by museum historians and educators. This session, they will discuss The Crime and the Silence: Confronting the Massacre of Jews in Wartime Jedwabne by Anna Bikont.
Part history, part memoir, The Crime and the Silence is
journalist Anna Bikont's account of the events in the small Polish town
of Jedwabne on July 10, 1941, when the citizens rounded up the Jewish
population and burned them alive in a barn. The massacre was a shocking
secret that had been suppressed for more than sixty years, and its
discovery provoked an important public debate in Poland. Including the
perspectives of both heroes and perpetrators, Bikont chronicles the
sources of the hatred that led to this violence and asks what myths grow
on hidden memories, what destruction they cause, and what happens to a
society that refuses to accept a horrific truth.
Space is limited! Please register for one ticket per device used. This virtual event will take place on the online platform Zoom. A link to join will be sent to registered guests via email one hour before the start of the program.

Featuring Dr. Charles Asher Small, Founder

Fellowship Training Programme on Critical Antisemitism Studies,
Cambridge, U.K.
This course will explore the emergence of contemporary antisemitism
in the United States, with a concentration on popular culture, the

ideological roots. This course will also assess how and why academia is
silent on issues pertaining to antisemitism; and why Jewish people are
being increasingly labelled as white and racist in our best

due to the racist ideologies that defined the Jewish People as an
inferior race and a threat to the purity of the white Aryan nation.

Will be held on 29 November 2022 at 12 PM Eastern Standard Time
Session 2: “Imposter Jews: Hip-Hop, the Nation of Islam and Contemporary Antisemitism“

Description:
A powerful chronicle of the women who used their sewing skills to survive the Holocaust, stitching beautiful clothes at an extraordinary fashion workshop created within one of the most notorious WWII death camps.
At the height of the Holocaust twenty-five young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp—mainly Jewish women and girls—were selected to design, cut, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers.
This fashion workshop—called the Upper Tailoring Studio—was established by Hedwig Höss, the camp commandant’s wife, and patronized by the wives of SS guards and officers. Here, the dressmakers produced high-quality garments for SS social functions in Auschwitz, and for ladies from Nazi Berlin’s upper crust.
Drawing on diverse sources—including interviews with the last surviving seamstress—The Dressmakers of Auschwitz follows the fates of these brave women. Their bonds of family and friendship not only helped them endure persecution, but also to play their part in camp resistance. Weaving the dressmakers’ remarkable experiences within the context of Nazi policies for plunder and exploitation, historian Lucy Adlington exposes the greed, cruelty, and hypocrisy of the Third Reich and offers a fresh look at a little-known chapter of World War II and the Holocaust.
Join Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio for their discussion of The Dressmakers of Auschwitz: The True Story of the Women Who Sewed to Survive by Lucy Adlington.

Description:
2022 J. B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Annual Lecture
In 1939, the year after the Nazis annexed Austria, Wilhelm and
Johanna Schischa sent their daughter to England on a rescue transport
for children. Any hope of reuniting with her ended with their
deportation to “the East,” along with tens of thousands of other
German-speaking Jews. They suddenly found themselves in a foreign place
with few possessions, little food, and no money.
Masses of deportees died or were murdered far from home in places
like Minsk and Riga and in killing centers in German-occupied Poland.
But others survived ghettos, forced labor, and death marches. Join us to
learn what diaries and letters reveal about their experiences.
Opening remarksDr. Lisa Leff, Director, Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies
SpeakerDr. Andrea Löw, 2021–22
J. B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Senior Scholar-in-Residence; Deputy

This program is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Register here.
For more information, please contact calendar@ushmm.org.
The J. B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Senior Scholar-in-Residence
Fellowship, endowed by the J. B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Charitable
Trust, enables the Mandel Center to bring a distinguished scholar to the
Museum each year to conduct innovative research about the Holocaust and
disseminate this work to the public. The scholar in residence also
leads seminars, lectures at universities in the United States and serves
as a resource for the Museum, educators, students, and the general
public.
The Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Center’s mission is to
ensure the long-term growth and vitality of Holocaust Studies. To do
that, it is essential to provide opportunities for new generations of
scholars. The vitality and the integrity of Holocaust Studies require
openness, independence, and free inquiry so that new ideas are generated
and tested through peer review and public debate. The opinions of
scholars expressed before, during the course of, or after their
activities with the Mandel Center do not represent and are not endorsed
by the Museum or its Mandel Center.
