Description:
Following World War II, the victorious
Allies pursued efforts to hold Nazi perpetrators of the war and its
atrocities legally accountable, prosecuting them for crimes against
national and international laws, and creating the first international
criminal court. Convened during 1945-1946 in Nuremberg in
allied-occupied Germany, this court adjudicated the guilt of Nazi
arch-criminals—the surviving men who had been Nazi leaders and
policymakers.
In this lecture, Professor John Q. Barrett, the Benjamin N. Cardozo Professor of Law at St. John’s University,
will explain the Nuremberg Trial, how it fit into the landscape of
post-WWII accountability processes, and how it produced evidence-based
early comprehension of the Holocaust. This webinar connects to the
Justice, Life, and Memory After the Holocaust unit on the Echoes &
Reflections website.

Echoes & Reflections' webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust
history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support

Description:
Book challenges and bans have been increasing across the country, both in schools and districts where laws have been passed, but also where no formal rules, restrictions or laws exist. When large scale book bans take place, it affects young people's ability to see themselves reflected in books. It also impacts their ability to gain an understanding of and empathy for people who are different than themselves, which contributes to antisemitism, racism and all forms of bias.
Join ADL (Anti-Defamation League) and AASL (American Association of School Librarians) to learn more about book challenges and bans and explore actions that can be taken.
Panelists include children's book author Kelly Yang, librarian Dr. Jennifer Sturge, student Annika Singh and others.
Q&A will follow the presentation.

Description:
Why would Danes from all walks of life
band together to rescue 7,200 Jews in Denmark? Eighty years ago, the
Danish underground and ordinary Danes pulled off a massive operation to
rescue Danish Jews from the Nazis. Within hours they spirited virtually
all of the Jews of Copenhagen out of their homes and took them in small
fishing boats across the water to safety in Sweden. What motivated them?
How did they manage? Liz Elsby, a Yad Vashem educator, will explore
this incredible rescue story.This webinar connects to the Rescue and Righteous Among the Nations unit on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Made possible by the generous support
of Eileen Ludwig Greenland, Echoes & Reflections is excited to
continue its program for Catholic school educators with this learning
opportunity focusing on Christian rescuers during the Holocaust.There
were many reasons why rescuers chose to risk their lives to save Jews
during the Holocaust. Many credit fundamental aspects of Christianity,
their personal religious beliefs, and their understanding of morality as
their motivations. Join Echoes & Reflections Program Manager Jesse
Tannetta, a former Catholic school educator and scholar of the Holocaust
and Catholic theology, to discuss the role Christianity played in
motivating rescuers to save Jews during the Holocaust.This webinar is connected to the Echoes & Reflections Rescue and Righteous among the Nations Unit.
