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.

Description:
After Adolf Hitler was appointed German
Chancellor in January 1933, the new Nazi government began an effort to
completely reorder public and private life in Germany. The Nazi regime
quickly targeted German universities—among the most elite in the world
at the time—for restructuring according to Nazi principles. These
forces, along with increasing antisemitism under Nazi rule, transformed
everyday life at German universities, from the curriculum that was
taught, the instructors that the university employed, and the type of
community that students sought to build. During this same period, Indian
boarding schools in the United States (in existence since 1819) thrived
on principles that also defined if–and how–Native American children
could be part of American society. Using a curriculum that sought to
violently “civilize” and “assimilate” these children, these schools,
too, drew upon racist ideology. While these policies had very different
outcomes, they were both based on shared ideas of “racial” hierarchy and
national belonging. This discussion will explore the role of the
educational systems and their underlying ideology in Nazi Germany and
the United States, as they each sought to create a specific exclusionary
national identity during the 1920s through the 1940s.

Description:
“I Almost Got Ill”: How Two Influential Christians Fought Antisemitism After the Holocaust (And What We Can Learn from Their Efforts)Dr. J.E. Wolfson | Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission
As the world has struggled to reckon with the Shoah, interfaith relations between Jews and certain religious communities have undergone dramatic transformations. Among the most pioneering and radical voices to confront the daunting theme of Christian complicity in the Holocaust were two believers in the United States. This session will discuss how a fiery Catholic nun, Sister Rose Thering, and a cerebral Protestant theologian, Franklin H. Littell, shook the pulpits and helped change the perspectives of their respective faith communities regarding the Holocaust, Judaism, and even where Jews belong in the world. With antisemitism rising to alarming levels in our time, the stories, legacies, and lessons of Thering and Littell deserve our attention. Dr. Wolfson is State Coordinator of Education for the Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission.
