Description:
Expression through art, the keeping of diaries, and maintaining religious customs are just some of the many ways that Jewish people "fought" against their oppressors during the Holocaust. Please join Yad Vashem educator and veteran guide, Lori Gerson, who will take us on a journey through Yad Vashem's Holocaust History Museum and explore how Jews engaged in acts of spiritual resistance as a part of their struggle to maintain their dignity and humanity in a world of chaos and dehumanization. This webinar connects to the Jewish Resistance unit on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Description:
The February 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, were held in a world on the brink of war. Germany's role in hosting both winter and summer games just before the outbreak of World War II offered the international community a unique look into a fascist society where Jewish freedom and safety were increasingly at risk. Join Todd Hennessy, Echoes & Reflections facilitator and educator, for a detailed look into the Winter Olympic games, the role the Games played in Germany and abroad, a brief glimpse into the events of the IV Winter Olympiad, and the experiences of Jewish athletes. This is part one of a two-part series on Nazi Germany and the Olympics.

Description:
Jewish resistance during the Holocaust is still understood mostly in terms of rare armed group activities in the Nazi occupied East, for example ghetto uprisings or partisan activities. This new research is based on a broader definition and countless hitherto untapped sources, including local police and court records as well as video testimonies of survivors. Introducing five new categories of resistance, the talk shows how between 1933 and 1945 Jews performed countless resistance acts in Nazi Germany proper, by destroying Nazi symbols, publicly protesting against the persecution, disobeying Nazi laws and local restrictions, and defending themselves from verbal insults as well as physical attacks. The fact that so many German Jewish women and men of all ages, educations and professions defied the Nazis obliterates the common view of the passivity of Jews under Nazi persecution. Their courageous acts, however, still need to be incorporated into the general narrative of the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust in general.
Wolf Gruner (PhD, Technical University Berlin) is the Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies and Professor of History at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles since 2008, and Founding Director of the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research since 2014. He is an appointed member of the Academic Committee at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum since 2017. He is the author of eleven books, among them Jewish Forced Labor under the Nazis. Economic Needs and Nazi Racial Aims with Cambridge University Press (2006), Parias de la Patria“. El mito de la liberación de los indígenas en la República de Bolivia 1825-1890 (2015), and the prizewinning The Holocaust in Bohemia and Moravia. Czech Initiatives, German Policies, Jewish Responses (2019). He coedited four books, including „Resisting Persecution. Jews and Their Petitions during the Holocaust” (2020), and “New Perspectives on Kristallnacht: After 80 Years, the Nazi Pogrom in Global Comparison” (2019). His new book is called: Resisters. How Ordinary Jews fought Hitler’s Persecution, Yale University Press 2023.
Public programs at Holocaust Museum Houston are presented by Memorial Hermann.
