Description:
The height of the Holocaust was in the year 1944 with the destruction of the Jews of Hungary. Eighty years ago, in March 1944, German troops invaded Hungary and that spring and summer, in just 7 short weeks, over 430,000 Jews were deported, most to Auschwitz. How could this have happened so late in the war? What did people know? Despite this, the biggest and most effective rescue operation of the Holocaust occurred in Hungary. Join Rob Rozett, Senior Historian at Yad Vashem, to commemorate this anniversary and explore these issues. This webinar connects to the Final Solution unit on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Description:
In the spring of 1942, the Nazis ordered the Slovak government to send a slave labor force and received 999 teenage, Jewish girls. Their railway ticket was a one-way trip to Auschwitz.
First-time Director/Producer and author of the international best-selling book, 999, Heather Dune Macadam spent eleven years interviewing survivors of the first transport all over the world. Digging through family and government archives, 999 unearths ground-breaking research that reveals this untold story entirely from a female perspective.
Those who survived endured more than three years in the death camps and beg us to ask the question: Why were girls targeted first?

Description:
During the Holocaust, there were a number of resistance movements with people who fought courageously and unrelentingly against the oppression of the Nazis. Among the ranks of these resisters were hundreds of Jewish women, some as young as sixteen years old, who risked torture, imprisonment, and death to save fellow Jews. They became couriers, medics, fighters, and saboteurs. In the end, some made it to safety, but many were captured or died in the process of trying to save others. The lives of these women remained largely untold until author Judy Batalion chronicled their remarkable lives in her book The Light of Days. Now, based on black and white photographs that have survived, artist Paula Blumenfeld is telling their stories visually, portraying in their faces their resolve, courage, selflessness, and dedication.
As part of the Museum’s celebration of Women’s History Month, Blumenfeld will be in conversation about her art with Dr. Irit Felsen, a clinical psychologist whose art has been featured in art exhibitions in Hamburg, London, and New Jersey.
Paula Blumenfeld lives and paints in the greater NYC area. She is fascinated by color and by the human body. Whether abstract or figurative, her paintings begin with the figure or its elements. She paints intimate figurative portraits, capturing the emotional state and inner strength of the subject. In addition, she creates abstract paintings which allow her to exclusively focus on composition and color.
Irit Felsen, PhDis a clinical psychologist specializing in the effects of trauma and traumatic loss, and the intergenerational transmission of both trauma and resiliencies in families of Holocaust survivors. Dr. Felsen is an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University and at Yeshiva University in New York City, co-chair of the Trauma Working Group in the NGO on Mental Health in the United Nations, and chair of the Older Adults Work Group in the Interdivision APA COVID-19 Task Force. She maintains a private practice in Englewood, New Jersey. Dr. Felsen’s research papers and book chapters have been published in peer reviewed publications. In addition, Dr. Felsen’s art has been featured in art exhibitions in Hamburg, London, and New Jersey.

Description:
Paragraph 175 was an 1871 German statute criminalizing sexual relations between men. Predating the Nazi regime, it was revised in 1935 allowing the Nazis to persecute larger numbers of men more aggressively. Join Dr. Jake Newsome, Scholar and Author of Pink Triangle Legacies: Coming Out in the Shadow of the Holocaust, for a discussion about Paragraph 175’s significance, other Nazi-era attacks against the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as how this history is reflected in contemporary anti-transgender legislation.

USA | Documentary | 2022 | 60/74 min.
Director: Roberta Grossman | Producers: Roberta Grossman, Karen Heilig
They met in secret to negotiate the unthinkable – compensation for the survivors of the largest mass genocide in history. Survivors were in urgent need of help, but how could reparations be determined for the unprecedented destruction and suffering of a people? Reckonings explores this untold true story set in the aftermath of the Holocaust.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Roberta Grossman (Who Will Write Our History), Reckonings recounts the tense negotiations between Jewish and German leaders. Under the constant threat of violence, they forged ahead, knowing it would never be enough but hoping it could at least be an acknowledgment and a step towards healing.

Drama | Directed by Jake Paltrow | 2022 | Israel | Hebrew, with English subtitles | 105 Min. | Kaplan Theatre American filmmaker Jake Paltrow revisits the 1962 trial of Adolf Eichmann with a gripping Hebrew-language historical drama centered on three Israeli characters on the periphery of Eichmann’s last days: a precocious Libyan immigrant boy, a Moroccan prison guard and a Polish Holocaust survivor working for the prosecution.

Description:
Polish-born Jewish artist Arthur Szyk (Łódź, 1894—New Canaan, CT 1951) was a great advocate for humanity and for the global Jewish community. Szyk (pronounced Shik) achieved world-wide recognition in the 1920s and 1930s in Poland, France, and England before immigrating to the U.S. in 1940 where he went on to become the leading anti-Nazi artist during World War II. Szyk is also famous for his illuminated Passover Haggadah, and his iconic towering Holy Ark for the Forest Hills Jewish Center. Szyk’s work fought injustice and intolerance, bigotry and racism as a “soldier in art.”
This four-part lecture series by Szyk scholar Irvin Ungar will explore how and why Szyk is the artist of and for the Jewish people, and the ways his art and spirit remain eternal in the service of mankind.
Irvin Ungar is the world’s foremost expert on the art of Arthur Szyk and the tireless force behind the Szyk renaissance. A former pulpit rabbi fluent in Jewish history and tradition, Irvin is the CEO and founder of Historicana, an antiquarian book firm and small publishing house of Szyk imprints. Beginning in 1987, Irvin first specialized in Szyk’s remarkable illustrated books and quickly expanded his repertoire to include original art, fine art prints, and other important Szyk works. He has curated and consulted for numerous Szyk exhibitions at major institutions worldwide, including: the New-York Historical Society (New York City); the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; the Deutsches Historisches Museum (Berlin); the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (Washington, DC); and the Library of Congress. Irvin is the author of Arthur Szyk: Soldier in Art (2017 National Jewish Book Award winner) and Justice Illuminated: The Art of Arthur Szyk(1998). His most recent book Arthur Szyk Preserved: Institutional Collections of Original Art was published in 2023. Additionally, Irvin is the co-producer of the documentary film, “Soldier in Art: Arthur Szyk,” and the publisher of the luxury limited edition of The Szyk Haggadah (2008). He also served as the curator of The Arthur Szyk Society (1997-2017) and its traveling exhibition program and continues lecturing and speaking about Szyk on university campuses, museums and other venues around the world. Irvin’s memoirs on his life with Arthur Szyk have been accepted by a major university press and will be forthcoming.
As early as 1934, Arthur Szyk told the American press: "An artist, and especially a Jewish artist, cannot be neutral in these times... Our life is involved in a terrible tragedy, and I am resolved to serve my people with all my art, with all my talent, with all my knowledge." Szyk went on to become the most important anti-Nazi artist in America during World War II and the leading artist for the rescue of European Jewry. No one created more activist art to motivate America's fight against the Nazis than the "soldier in art" himself, and his Holocaust art was more widely reproduced than that of any artist. The Museum's exhibition The Holocaust: What Hate Can Do has several of these drawings and cartoons on display. Szyk's 1943 masterpiece De profundis: Cain, where is Abel thy brother? may well be the single most significant contemporary Holocaust work of art on paper. Szyk devoted himself to the dignity of every Jewish soul.
