Description:
"What It Meant to Be an Upstander During the WWII Occupation of France"
To understand fully the risks undertaken by upstanders during the World War II Occupation of France, Dr. Angelini will begin with a brief explanation of the problematic position in which France found itself as it was defeated by the Germans (June 12, 1940), occupied by the Germans (June 14, 1940), collaborated with the Germans (July 1940), and declared victory over the Germans (June 6, 1944: Allied landing in Normandy, France; August 25, 1944: Liberation of Paris by the Allied forces).
She will then share the story of Françoise Bielinski, better known as Paquita Sitzer, who, as a child with her family, escaped from France to Spain via les Pyrénées with the help of their savior Victor Mesple-Somps. Mesple-Somps did not survive the war. He was captured for his Resistance activities and murdered in Sachsenhausen concentration camp in February 1945. Dr. Angelini's presentation will include some of Paquita's photos and testimony that Dr. Angelini curated for her chapter, “France: World War II Occupation and the Holocaust” – Forthcoming in Polgar, Michael and John, Suki, eds. The Holocaust: Remembrance, Respect, and Resilience. State College, PA: Pennsylvania State University, 2022, an Open Education Resource project.

Description:
The William Paterson University Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies presents a virtual event in connection with International Holocaust Remembrance Day: "From Shared Pasts to Shared Futures: Black-Jewish Relations in Context"
During the height of the Civil Rights movement, Black and Jewish Americans came together as fellow minorities with a shared history of slavery and persecution and a profound concern over inequality and injustice. While the past cooperative and collaborative relationships between these two groups persist, unfortunately they are also often marred by intra-communal tensions -- such as most recently the high-profile cases of Ye and Kyrie Irving. This talk will shed light on the past, present and future of Black-Jewish relations in this country -- and what we miss out on when we frame this topic this way.

Description:
In May 1945, as World War II ended, an all-black US Army truck company led by Lieutenant John L. Withers rushed emergency supplies to an unknown German town. Longtime victims of the harsh racial abuses of the Jim Crow-era, these soldiers were horrified by what they found when the "town" turned out to be the Dachau concentration camp. Days later, two destitute young Jews, former Dachau inmates, appeared at their encampment and pleaded for help. Housing non-military personnel was strictly forbidden--yet, the soldiers, with their lieutenant's endorsement, chose to shelter the boys.
Please join the Center for Holocaust, Human Rights and Genocide Education (Chhange) for this riveting presentation by John Withers II, son of Lieutenant Withers. His book, Balm in Gilead, is a compelling account of his father's company during WWII and their unique interaction with these two young Holocaust survivors.

Description:
"The Jewish Dog," directed by Yonatan Esterkin, is based on the Israeli book The Jewish Dog by Asher Kravitz.
"The Jewish Dog" is both a moving and at times funny one man show
that tells the story of Coresh, a dog born into a Jewish Family in
Berlin, 1933.
It depicts the story of those hard years – the Nazi uprising,
anti-Jewish legislation, the deportations, the war, the concentration
camps, the Jewish rebellion and the ‘illegal Aliya’ to Israel, all
through the eyes of the dog - an original point of view which allows a
new perspective on this important subject.
In collaboration with the Consulate General of Israel to the
Southwest and the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston, this program is
in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
RSVP here.

Description:
An educational documentary involving music and exclusive interviews with Holocaust survivors, the project has the goal to share memories of musical activities in the Theresienstadt ghetto-camp, a unique camp located in Czechoslovakia, where the presence of talented artists, musicians, and composers encouraged cultural life to flourish despite the desperate living conditions of the inmates. The documentary follows Sofia’s intense journey studying the music of composers who were imprisoned in Theresienstadt such as Pavel Haas, Gideon Klein, and the more recently re-discovered Hans Winterberg, while she is also committed to meet some of the last survivors. The interviews reveal an inspirational story of intergenerational meeting that keep the memory of the Holocaust alive.
Note for the In-Person event: Although this is a free program, tickets are required and should be pre-purchased here. Screening will be preceded by the 8 minute short “The Record” and followed by a live-over-Zoom Q&A with director/producer Sofia Tapinassi.
In addition to the above program on the evening of Thursday, January 26th at 7:30 PM at Shalom Austin (free, but tickets required), the Austin Jewish Film Festival will make the main film (We Left the Camp Singing) and a pre-recorded Q&A with the director available virtually for a week.

Description:
The scene is seared in Irene Weiss’s memory. One minute she was
holding hands with her younger sister. The next, a Nazi officer
separated them with his baton, and 11-year-old Edith was swallowed into a
crowd, unknowingly bound for a gas chamber at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Decades later, Irene discovered the most painful moment of her life
had been documented by a Nazi photographer. She saw her 13-year-old
self, wearing a scarf and leaning forward, searching for Edith.
As the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum commemorates International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Irene will share the story of the day her family was torn apart.
