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.
Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) experts as they explore the story of Leo Ullman on June 12th, Anne Frank's birthday.
GuestsLeo S. Ullman, Holocaust Survivor
HostDr. Rebecca Erbelding, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Description:
Henry Weil heard drums and marching well before catching sight of the
German troops thundering down the street in front of his apartment in
1938 Vienna. At first, young Henry thought this was an occasion for
celebration, but then, he turned from the window and saw his mother
crying.
Over the next year, the Weils were forced from their apartment, while
Henry’s father struggled to secure paperwork to get his Jewish family
out of German-occupied Austria.
Learn how Henry and his parents managed to outrun the danger in Europe and evade German U-boats while crossing the Atlantic.

Description:
In this
lecture, historian Dr. Rebecca Erbelding pieces together years of
research and newly uncovered archival materials to tell the dramatic
story of America’s little-known efforts to save the Jews of Europe.
Rebecca Erbelding is the author of Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America's Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe,
which won the JDC-Herbert Katzki National Jewish Book Award in 2018.
She holds a PhD in American history from George Mason University. She
worked as an archivist and curator at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum
from 2003-2015, and as a historian since 2015, including for the
Museum's Americans and the Holocaust exhibition. Her work has previously been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the New Yorker, and on the History Channel and National Geographic.
Rescue Board is the
extraordinary story of the War Refugee Board, a US government effort
late in World War II to save the remaining Jews of Europe. The staff of
the War Refugee Board gathered D.C. pencil pushers, international relief
workers, smugglers, diplomats, millionaires, and rabble-rousers to run
operations across four continents and a dozen countries. They tricked
Nazis, forged identity papers, maneuvered food and medicine into
concentration camps, recruited spies, leaked news stories, laundered
money, negotiated ransoms, and funneled millions of dollars into Europe,
ultimately saving tens of thousands of lives.

LGBTQ during WWII.
