Description:
Antisemitic
incidents, including violent acts, in the United States have been on a
sharp rise since 2016. These incidents often begin and are roused in
subtle ways – from biased remarks and stereotypes to silence and
complacency. These incidents target and harm Jewish individuals and
communities and threaten the well-being of society. Testimony can
provide students with a human face to those directly impacted by
antisemitism, fostering empathy and inspiring students to speak out
against antisemitism in their community and beyond.Tune
in to this webinar to learn how the use of testimony and resources from
the Gringlas Unit on Contemporary Antisemitism in Echoes &
Reflections can develop student’s ability to recognize and respond to
antisemitism and inspire them to act. Educators will learn strategies
using testimonies that illustrate antisemitism in the past and present
to engage students to think critically about this issue.
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:
For much of the Holocaust, Hungarian Jews lived in relative safety thanks to their country's alliance with Germany. They were targets of anti-Jewish laws limiting their participation in the economy and subjecting Jewish men to a labor service draft, but were largely spared mass violence until the German invasion of March 1944. In the Holocaust's most rapid deportation, over 400,000 Hungarian Jews were transported from the countryside primarily to Auschwitz, where most were gassed upon arrival. Jews in Budapest, Hungary’s capital, were spared deportation – but not mass violence. Highlighting survivor testimonies from the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum’s oral history collection, Dr. Sara Abosch-Jacobson, the Barbara Rabin chief education officer, and Felicia Williamson, director of library and archives, discuss the experiences of Budapest’s Jews during the Holocaust.
This program is part of the museum's History Highlights series.
There is no cost to attend this event, but registration is required.

Description:
Please join the Fritz Ascher Society on online on Wednesday, September 13 at 11:00AM CT on Zoom for “From Émigré to Englishman: Fred Uhlman ‘Painter of Dreams’,” a talk by London based Uhlman scholar Dr. Nicola Baird.Fred Uhlman (Stuttgart 1901-1985 London) was born into a well-established Jewish family. He became a lawyer, joined the Social Democrat Party in 1927 and became its official legal representative in 1932. In March 1933, after a warning that his arrest was imminent because of his political affiliations, he fled to Paris. There, unable to work as a lawyer he began to paint, encouraged by his cousin, Paul Elsas, who was himself a painter, and German émigré art historian, Paul Westheim, who championed individualism. He became known for his ‘pictorial fantasies’ and ‘poetic’, ‘childlike vision.’ In 1936, Uhlman was able to immigrate to Britain. Two years later he and his wife Diana, née Croft, co-founded the Artists’ Refugee Committee and the Free German League of Culture. After the outbreak of the Second World War, in 1940, he was considered an enemy alien and interned by the British government in Hutchinson Camp on the Island of Man. After 1945, his artwork became internationally known. A large-scale exhibition of his work was last held at the Leighton House Museum in London in 1968 and he has since been largely forgotten. Uhlman is the author of The Making of an Englishman, 1960 and the enduringly popular novella, Reunion, 1971 (adapted for film by Harold Pinter in 1989 and for stage by Ronan Wilmot in 2010).

Description:
The United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Programme is pleased to invite you to join a virtual discussion on Wednesday, 20 September 2023 at 11AM CDT, of “Rain of Ash: Roma, Jews and the Holocaust” by award-winning author, Ari Joskowicz.
Professor Joskowicz, Chair of the Department of Jewish Studies, Vanderbilt University, will be in conversation with Professor Ethel Brooks, Founder of the field of Critical Romani Studies, and Chair of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Rutgers University. Raz Segal, Endowed Professor in the Study of Modern Genocide, Stockton University, chairs.
"Rain of Ash: Roma, Jews and the Holocaust” was awarded the 2022 Ernst Fraenkel Prize. The book explores the simultaneous suffering of Roma and Jews during the Holocaust, as well as the unequal yet necessary entanglement of their quests for historical justice and self-representation. The Jewish experience of genocide increasingly occupied the attention of legal experts, scholars, educators, curators, and politicians in the postwar years, while the genocide of Europe’s Roma and Sinti remained out of the frame.
Register here.
This discussion is hosted by The Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity, The Graduate Center—City University of New York, in association with the Center for Jewish Studies at The Graduate Center—City University of New York; CUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences, The Graduate Center—City University of New York; The William T. Daly School of General Studies and the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Stockton University, and The Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme, Outreach Division, Department of Global Communications, United Nations.
