Description:
Buried by The Times: The Holocaust and America’s Most Important Newspaper
As news of the horrors of the Holocaust spread beyond Europe to the rest of the world, major publications had to decide how they would cover the murder of European Jews under Hitler’s Final Solution. In Buried by The Times: The Holocaust and America’s Most Important Newspaper, Laurel Leff, veteran journalist and professor of journalism at Northeastern University, asserts that The New York Times consistently and purposefully downplayed the Holocaust, burying the mass murder of Jews in its back pages. Join Professor Leff for a discussion of her research on The Times’ response to the Holocaust and its impact on the greater understanding of the American public.
About the Speaker
Laurel Leff is Professor of Journalism and Associate Director of Jewish Studies at Northeastern University in Boston. Her latest book, Well Worth Saving: American Universities’ Life and Death Decisions on Refugees from Nazi Europe was a finalist for a 2020 National Jewish Book Award. Her previous book, Buried by The Times: The Holocaust and America’s Most Important Newspaper was chosen as the Best Media History Book of 2005 by The American Journalism Historians’ Association and Best History Book of 2005 by ForeWord Reviews. She has published several monographs on the response of American elites to pleas to rescue European Jews during the 1930s and 1940s, most recently an examination of Edward R. Murrow and the Holocaust in American Journalism. Leff has a master’s in the study of law from Yale University and a master’s in communications from the University of Miami. She received an A.B. from Princeton University with a major in the School of Public and International Affairs. She was formerly a reporter for The Wall Street Journal and The Miami Herald and an editor with American Lawyer Media Inc. and The Hartford Courant.

History Highlights: Wartime Upstanders
When the United States entered World War II, it called upon its citizens to make sacrifices for the war effort and take up arms to defend democracy. Millions of Americans, including many who were treated as second-class citizens in their own country, answered the call. In honor of Veterans Day, Dr. Sara Abosch-Jacobson, the Barbara Rabin chief education officer, and Dr. Charlotte Decoster, senior director of education, share the stories of three World War II Upstanders – Héctor P. García, Oveta Culp Hobby, and Dorie Miller – who fought for equal rights for their fellow service members and veterans.
There is no cost to attend this event, but registration is required.

Webinar
-
Description:
Kristallnacht is often viewed as a turning point. On the night of November 9, 1938, the persecution of the Jews became dramatically visible and undeniable. Marking the anniversary of Kristallnacht presents a unique teachable moment: what happens when people are deprived of basic rights and others stand by without taking action? How does escalation occur? Why is it so important to fight hatred? This webinar, presented by Sheryl Ochayon of Yad Vashem, will explore these issues. This webinar connects with the Nazi Germany unit on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Description:
During the era
of the Holocaust, a small group of individuals survived while waging
resistance in the forests of Europe. These individuals were frequently
part of partisan groups, units that moved from place to place within a
geographic area subsisting by their own resourcefulness or with the rare
assistance of local populations. In addition to the goal of survival,
partisans also took action against the Nazi military to stop or hamper
the war effort.This webinar
will help educators further understand the partisan movement through
the use of testimonies in the USC Shoah Foundation visual history
archives and the Echoes & Reflections Unit 7 on Jewish Resistance.
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.

Workshops

Description:
The Holocaust arose out of antisemitic hatred fueled in part by the power of words. Participants examine the escalation of words to violence, which in turn, became genocide in order to consider where such a progression might have been interrupted. Educators gain tools to apply these lessons to modern day issues faced by students to ensure human dignity for all.

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) virtually as they discuss the dangers posed when
extremist ideas are normalized and what is being done to challenge them.
ModeratorDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
PanelistsDr. Arie Kruglanski, Holocaust survivor and distinguished Psychology professor at the University of MarylandVidhya Ramalingam, Founder and CEO, Moonshot
