Description:
Berlin was known as the gay capital of the world until Nazis began
terrorizing LGBTQ+ people and shut down the Eldorado Club in 1933.
But love persisted in spite of Nazi persecution. Repeated arrests and
beatings couldn’t crush the bond between Jewish dancer Margot Holzmann
Liu and her partner, Marta Halusa. The inhumane conditions at the
Ravensbrück concentration camp didn’t prevent prisoners Nelly
Mousset-Vos and Nadine Hwang from beginning their lifelong romance. Join
the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) as they commemorate Pride Month with their legacies of resilience and
rebellion during Nazi rule.
GuestsDr. Mark Alexander, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
HostDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Description:
Join ADL and Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, the U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism on Thursday, 6/1 at 3:30 PM ET to discuss the impact that this first-ever national strategy will have in fighting antisemitism. ADL CEO & National Director Jonathan Greenblatt will give an inside look at how ADL helped drive this much-needed whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach, and how it will make a difference both at the national level and in communities across the country as this extensive plan is implemented. Ambassador Lipstadt will also talk about the challenges that were overcome in bringing this initiative to life and discuss key provisions and ways to improve the security of the Jewish community.
Register here.
As the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, with
the rank of Ambassador, she leads efforts to advance U.S. foreign policy to
counter antisemitism throughout the world.
Special Envoy Lipstadt has a storied career as a historian, academic and author and was famously sued for libel by David Irving, one of the world’s leading Holocaust deniers. The case resulted in Irving being declared by the court to be “a right wing polemicist” who engages in antisemitism, racism and misogyny. That trial was depicted in the 2016 film Denial, which was based on her book History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier.

Join Providence Nkurunziza and fellow survivors as they commemorate the families completely wiped out during the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
Providence and other survivors will share their testimony and highlight the effects that hatred can have on a society.

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 (USHMM) 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.

Description:
Leo Ullman survived the Holocaust in hiding with strangers as a
toddler—in Amsterdam, the same city where Anne Frank hid and was later
discovered. His parents were told nothing about his caretakers or his
location in order to help keep him safe.
Only after the war did Leo realize that the loving couple who had
raised him for years were not his biological parents. He later learned
just how many of the Dutch families nearby knew about the young Jewish
boy in hiding and chose to protect him. Watch the story of Leo Ullman on
June 12, Anne Frank’s birthday.
GuestsLeo S. Ullmanr, Holocaust survivor
HostDr. Rebecca Erbelding, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
