Description:
This chilling Holocaust documentary — for adult audiences only — reveals the barbaric genocide of 220,000 people, or 95% of Lithuania’s Jews. Jonas Noreika was a Nazi collaborator personally responsible for slaughtering 8,000 men, women, and children, but is still revered as a Lithuanian “National Hero.” Interviews with Noreika’s own granddaughter, Silvia Foti, and a Jewish grandson whose family was murdered by Noreika, follow their parallel quests to expose the truth and bring some measure of justice to the victims.
Director Michael Kretzmer in attendance for Post Film Q&A
Holocaust Museum Houston is a proud Community Sponsor of this event at the ERJCC.

Description:
Please join the Fritz Ascher Society for “’Sweet Kitsch, I can't do that.’ Maria Luiko (1904-1941),” a talk by Wolfram P. Kastner, curator and artist, and Mascha Erbelding, director of the Puppet Theatre / Fairground Attractions Collection at Münchner Stadtmuseum (Munich City Museum).
Register here.
Maria Luiko (1904-1941), born Marie Luise Kohn in Munich, is characterized by an impressive diversity. In addition to drawings, watercolors and oil paintings, she created prints using various printing processes and paper cuts, and designed book illustrations, stage sets and marionettes. Already during her studies at the local Academy of Fine Arts and her training at the School of Applied Arts she was included in exhibitions in the Munich Glass Palace (Münchner Glaspalast).
Her career was brutally cut short by the Nazi regime. As a Jew, Luiko was not able to join the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts (Reichskammer der bildenden Künste), a Nazi organization founded in 1933. Without membership, she could not obtain work materials, exhibit or sell her artwork. The Cultural Association of German Jews (Kulturbund Deutscher Juden) was founded to give Jews access to cultural life and to provide Jewish artists who had become unemployed with a livelihood. Until 1939 Luiko contributed to them and to the Marionette Theater of Munich Jewish Artists. A large part of her graphic work, in which she critically deals with the current living conditions and everyday situations, were created during this time. On November 20, 1941 Maria Luiko was deported to Kaunas in Lithuania together with her sister Dr. Elisabeth Kohn, her mother Olga Kohn (nee Schulhöfer) and 996 other Jews and murdered there.
The event is part of the monthly series "Flight or Fight. stories of artists under repression," which is organized by The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art, New York.

Description:
The USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research and USC Shoah Foundation present the Annual Sara and Asa Shapiro Scholar Lecture by Jan Grabowski (Professor of History at University of Ottawa, Canada)2022-2023 Sara and Asa Shapiro Scholar in Residence.
Organized by the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research and USC Shoah Foundation.
In this distinguished lecture, Professor Jan Grabowski will focus on
the recent scholarship dealing with the history of the Holocaust in
Poland. The new research - based on new archival evidence - brings to
light the unknown aspects of the Jewish catastrophe, sheds more light on
German genocidal policies, places more weight on the agency of the
Jewish victims, and raises fundamental question about the attitudes of
the Polish "bystanders". Professor Grabowski will also address the issue
of the reactions of the Polish state to the findings of independent
historians.

Description:
The 1936 Olympic Games are a fundamental part of the narrative of the Holocaust. In the lead up to the games, public outcry against the actions of Nazi Germany led to consideration of a boycott of the games. Ultimately, the games went on as planned and with this, Jewish athletes worldwide were impacted. In this webinar, learn about the differing experiences of German-Jewish athletes Rudi Ball and Margaret Lambert (then known as Gretel Bergmann) through the use of testimony, the Timeline of the Holocaust, and other primary sources.
This webinar accompanies Echoes & Reflections Units 2 & 3: Antisemitism and Nazi Germany.
Register here.
Echoes & Reflections webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust
history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support
instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of
this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.

Description:
Extremist beliefs and violence are on the rise.
White supremacist and other hate groups exploit antisemitic myths,
racism, and conspiracy theories often directly inspired by Nazi
ideology. When hatred and deception go viral, they can appeal to more
mainstream audiences. Holocaust history warns us of the violence that
can follow when such threats go unchecked.
Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in-person or virtually as they discuss the dangers
posed when extremist ideas are normalized and what is being done to
challenge them. This program is part of their award-winning Stay Connected Live series.
SpeakersDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Dr. Arie Kruglanski, Holocaust survivor and distinguished university professor in Psychology at the University of Maryland
Vidhya Ramalingam, Founder and CEO, Moonshot
Please register for this program, which is free and open to the public. Learn more about Stay Connected Live.

Description:
In our darkest times, it is hope that pushes us forward. Light tells
the horrific and profound story of Holocaust survivor Naomi Warren, a
survivor of three Nazi-era death camps. Naomi’s life during this period
of history was harrowing and filled with loss. In Light, we
follow her path from a beautiful family with a rich culture and
traditions, to utter dehumanization… and all along the way; we feel
Naomi’s courage, resistance, and resilience.
As a dance, the story of Light is told from a present-day
perspective. The music is composed of works by contemporary writers. The
decor and dress is of today, and spare. The story of “never again” is a
warning of which we must always be mindful and diligent concerning the
protection of human rights against bigotry and hatred.
