Description:
She was a multimillionaire at age 11, but as she got older wanted no part of life as a socialite. Living in Vienna as the Nazis seized control, American Muriel Gardiner used her money, connections, and quick thinking to save lives. She lied to border agents, smuggled fake papers in her corset, provided safe haven for Jewish friends and strangers, and had her own close call with the Gestapo. Later, from America, Muriel poured her heart and resources into helping Austrian refugees—though her husband got most of the credit. As the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum commemorates Women’s History Month, learn about Muriel's secret life.GuestsDr. Lindsay MacNeill, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Description:
This course begins by exploring the motifs that have defined
antisemitism both over the centuries and into our own time. Moving then
into the contemporary world, we will consider the three primary sources
of the phenomenon of Jew hatred: the political right, the political
left, and political Islam. Finally, the course will end with a
discussion of how one might response to the rising tide of antisemitism
and what might be done about it.
Featuring Professor David
Patterson, Hillel A. Feinberg Distinguished Chair in Holocaust Studies
at the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies, University of Texas at
Dallas, Richardson, U.S.; Senior Research Fellow, ISGAP
Session One: Historical Patterns and Modern ManifestationsIn this class we identify three defining motifs in the history of
antisemitism and its contemporary manifestations: (1) the claim to the
word of Truth, (2) blood libel and bloodshed, and (3) the redeeming
value of antisemitism. The redemptive aspect of antisemitism, it will be
shown, most fundamentally defines the historical and contemporary
essence of antisemitism in its various forms.
Was held on 1 March 2023 at 10AM Central Time
Session Two: The Defining Case of National Socialist AntisemitismThis session will explore the essence of Nazi antisemitism as the
phenomenon’s most extreme manifestation. The premise is that an
examination of the extreme case reveals what underlies other instances
of Jew hatred, as we make clear exactly what the Nazis set out to
obliterate in the annihilation of European Jewry and therefore exactly
what the antisemite is anti-. The presentation will end with a brief
consideration of the Nazi influence on Jihadist antisemitism, to be
examined more closely in the next class.
Will be held on 8 March 2023 at 10AM Central Time
Session Three: Political Islamist AntisemitismIn this class we shall trace the recent history of political Islam
and Islamic Jihadism, their contemporary manifestations, and the
centrality of antisemitism to their ideology. Of particular interest
will be the Muslim Brotherhood and its widespread influence on
organizations such as the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah,
Sudan, and throughout Europe and North America. This session will end by
setting up the bonds at work in the Red-Green Alliance.
Will be held on 15 March 2023 at 10AM Central Time
Session Four: Red-Green AntisemitismHere we consider antisemitism as it appears among left-wing
intellectuals, largely on college campuses, in professional
organizations, and in student movements. Central to this discussion will
be the relation between antisemitism and anti-Zionism. The presentation
will touch upon the left-wing affinity with Critical Race Theory, the
Boycott Divest Sanction Movement, Students for Justice in Palestine,
Black Lives Matter, and left-wing political movements.
Will be held on 22 March 2023 at 10AM Central Time
This course costs $100. Register here.

Description:
As the Holocaust escalated, conditions worsened in the ghettos and camps. Women and mothers were preoccupied with daily survival, providing food for their families, and staving off illness. Using diaries, memoirs, and testimonies, this session will look at the life-and-death dilemmas that women faced during the Holocaust, and their attempts to resist dehumanization and death. Yad Vashem's Project Director for Echoes & Reflections, Sheryl Ochayon, will present this webinar in honor of Women’s History Month.

Echoes & Reflections' webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust
history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support

Description:
Teaching about the Holocaust through
the use of testimonies moves lessons beyond facts, dates, and
statistics. It builds students' social-emotional capacities. The power
of personal narrative is inherent in stories of survival and bearing
witness to history. And yet, the stories are relatable and foster
empathetic thinking. Testimony cultivates students’ ability to be
introspective and intentional, connecting them through their own
understanding of what it means to be human.
Join Echoes & Reflections in this webinar to learn how
the testimony in each Echoes & Reflections unit can help develop
social-emotional learning (SEL).
Register here.

Description:
The Diary of Anne Frank, which debuted on Broadway in 1955 and then later toured the country, was one of the most influential plays of the 20th century. The play introduced millions of Americans to the Holocaust and its victims. But what did reenacting Anne’s story mean to the people who created and acted in the play or the 1959 film? How did dramatizing her life affect their lives and careers? Who were they?
On Monday, March 13, the Holocaust Resource Center of Kean University will host a virtual conversation about "Playing Anne Frank," a new podcast series from the Forward. Executive editor Adam Langer and Shana Stein, Holocaust educator, will discuss the backstory of the award-winning play and film, The Diary of Anne Frank, and how this iconic work shapes those involved in performing it — including surviving cast and crew members, and high school students putting the show on today.
Register here.
PD hours and co-curricular credits available.

Description:
Taught by Dr. Lev Topor, ISGAP Visiting Scholar in Critical
Antisemitism Studies, Discrimination and Human Rights at the Woolf
Institute. This short digital course is aimed to present the topic of
anonymous antisemitism and the way it is propagated nowadays with modern
technologies, which mainly include platforms like the dark web or
secure and anonymous messaging applications like telegram. During this
course, we will learn and discuss the reasons for engaging in
antisemitism anonymously, the effects of such antisemitism, as well as
ongoing policies aimed to tackle this problem – whether policies from
social media platforms/technology companies or from governments. During
the course, we will also learn about the concepts of cyberspace,
anonymity, and pseudonymity.
Session 1: Introduction – What Is Anonymous Communication and What Nazis Have to Do With It.During this session, we will have a general introduction to the
topics of antisemitism and racism online, as well as anonymous
communications. We will also learn about the reasons that nudge
neo-Nazis and other anti-Semites to the dark web.
Was held 7 March 2023 at 11 AM CT
Session 2: Online Antisemitism, Racism, Anti-Muslim Sentiment, and Xenophobia – A Review During this session, we will dive deep into the world of online

governmental and technology companies’ policies towards these issues.
Will be held 14 March 2023 at at 11 AM CT
Session 3: Trends from the Dark Web and Telegram: Online RadicalizationDuring this session, we will learn about antisemitic trends from

online domain.
Will be held 21 March 2023 at at 11 AM CT
Session 4: Conclusion and Future RecommendationsDuring this session, we will have an overview of the topics:
antisemitism, online hatred, anonymous communications, and antisemitism
on the dark web and on secure messaging applications. We will have a

Description:
Join
Holocaust Museum Houston as Holocaust survivor Dr. Anna Steinberger
gives her testimony on the Mady and Ken Kades Stage in the Albert and
Ethel Herzstein Theater.
Germany attacked Poland in September 1939, when
Anna was 11 years old. As bombs fell, Anna and her parents and older
brother fled eastward together with thousands of other refugees.
Eventually, Anna's family reached Rovno, in the Soviet zone of occupied
Poland. One day a Red Army soldier knocked on their door and offered
them a choice: return home to the German zone of Poland, or "resettle"
in the Soviet Union. They chose the Soviet Union, and were sent to
Kolchoz, near Stalingrad, where they toiled on a collective farm. When
Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941, Anna's brother was drafted into
the Soviet Army and the rest of the family was relocated again, this
time to Alma Ata in the Kazakh Republic.
This event is included in museum admission. No registration is necessary.
