Description:
When we listen to the life stories of Holocaust survivors still living in Central and Eastern Europe, we find a rich resource for exploring the diversity of Jewish life and culture that existed in Europe before the Holocaust. From 2000 to 2009, Centropa—a historical institute based in Vienna—interviewed over 1200 elderly Jews in 15 Central and Eastern European countries who shared their entire life stories spanning the 20th century. In this webinar, Dr. Lauren Granite, Centropa’s US Education Director, will showcase how Centropa’s database of over 23,000 old photographs, interviews, short multimedia films, thematic websites, and podcasts illustrate the vibrant, diverse Jewish life that the Nazis came very close to wiping out.
This webinar from is connected to the Prewar Jewish Life lesson plan on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Description:
THGAAC State Coordinator of Education Dr. J.E. Wolfson will speak at a San Antonio library on “‘Jewish Resisters, Though’: Why There Has Been Reluctance to Apply the ‘Upstander’ Label to Jews in the Holocaust”.
In a lengthy April 2023 article in The Atlantic, author Dara Horn analyzes the trend in Holocaust education of labeling certain individuals as “upstanders” due to their bravery and heroism, pointedly noting that Jews are typically ignored whenever this classification is applied. A large proportion of museum exhibits and popular films and literature on the Holocaust elect to spotlight and applaud the actions of “Righteous Gentiles” who rescued Jews, but not the actions of Jews themselves. What might explain this longstanding tunnel vision or the fact that so few people have even chosen to question it? This presentation will offer answers to that question and will examine fascinating case studies of Jews who resisted the Nazi assault and continue to complicate popularly accepted notions of heroism and martyrdom. Dr. Wolfson suggests that the tendency to privilege stories of non-Jewish rescue of Jews over Jewish resistance reveals much about how our culture has sought to define and remember the Holocaust. We cannot approach a fuller understanding of Holocaust history without acknowledging the challenges, suffering, courage, and selflessness that helped shape Jewish resistance.

Description:
Though the medical profession is built on the sacred relationship between doctor and patient, traditional notions of medical ethics gave way to dangerous ideology during the Holocaust. The active participation of the medical and scientific communities in the labeling, persecution and eventual mass murder of millions deemed "unfit" is what sets the Holocaust apart as the only example of medically sanctioned genocide in history.

Virtual Screening online

Description:
In previously unheard bombshell audiotapes, the architect of Hitler’s Final Solution boasts about his role and motives during the Holocaust. Six decades after his trial and execution in Israel, these long-hidden recordings surface of Adolf Eichmann talking with a Dutch Nazi journalist in 1957 Argentina. Before facing justice, the candid admissions expose Eichmann’s visceral antisemitism and zeal for mass murder, contradicting his later claims that he was merely a functionary following orders. Investigative filmmaker Yariv Mozer, who tracked down the original recordings, posits why the evidence was concealed during trial. Staged reenactments of Eichmann’s own chilling words, as well as colorized courtroom footage, offer a dramatic rebuttal to notions of the banality of evil.
