About the Speaker
Dr. Andras Lacko was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1936. In a twist of fate, Lacko contracted scarlet fever in 1944 and was saved from ghettoization and subsequent deportation to Poland. He survived the Holocaust in a military hospital and was later reunited with his mother and father after the Soviet liberation of Budapest.

Description:
Five of her siblings and her parents, along with the rest of her extended family members were murdered during the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda in a span of about 100 days. She was only 11. She published her story in her memoir, Next Couple Hours. As a survivor, Providence considers it her responsibility to bear witness to the atrocities of genocide. She wants to save the next generation from falling into the same trap of experiencing such sinister events, as nobody is immune to genocide. She considers it a privilege to share the stories of the well lived lives of her entire family, as well as all those families, who were completely wiped out with no one to remember them. She does all with a thankful heart to preserve their memory and restore their values. She believes silence is complicity in the face of such atrocities and terror. As an advocate, she is also proud to be a voice for women survivors living with HIV/AIDS and other long-term illnesses contracted through rape and other violence during the genocide. Providence has spoken at the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva, New York, and Vienna, the Swedish parliament, three of the four Holocaust museums in Texas, Universities, Holocaust centres and Synagogues in New Jersey and New York. She was recently one of the 4 honourees at the Wagner College for leadership in Holocaust, Genocide and Anti Bias Education for the 81st anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the 30th Genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda. She is attending an intensive program on fighting antisemitism in Oxford, UK starting in July 2024.

Remember This
Academy Award nominee David Strathairn portrays Jan Karski, reluctant World War II hero and Holocaust witness. Karski joined the Polish Underground and risked his life to carry the first eyewitness reports of war-torn Poland, including the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto to the Western world. In Remember This, Strathairn captures the complexity and legacy of this self-described “insignificant, little man” whose timely story of moral courage and individual responsibility can still shake the conscience of the world.

Description:
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.
How can we bring out the stories of LGBTQ+ victims of Nazi persecution, and what can they tell us about Nazi ideology and antisemitism? Melissa Mott, Director of Antisemitism, Holocaust, and Genocide Education, will delve into this topic in a webinar, focusing on bringing out this often-erased history via Echoes & Reflections Timeline of the Holocaust. The campaign against LGBTQ people, spanning 1933 to 1945, involved shutting down gay establishments and enforcing Paragraph 175 of the German criminal code, leading to tens of thousands of arrests and imprisonment. Dive into best practices for teaching this subject, utilizing the best terminology, and exploring resources to support sound instruction, including connections to contemporary antisemitism and historical erasure.
This webinar connects to the Timeline of the Holocaust on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Description:
A brick smashing through the bedroom window jolted nine-year-old Susan Warsinger awake on the night of November 9, 1938. As her brother Joseph peered out the window, he turned and said, “Susi, it is our neighbors!” That night of orchestrated violence against Jews—known as Kristallnact (or “Night of Broken Glass”)—changed their lives forever. Susan’s parents used their life savings to smuggle the children out of Nazi Germany—sending them to live in France.
Watch to learn how Susan and Joseph managed to outrun danger as war erupted in Europe, and discover if they ever saw their parents or baby brother again.

Description:
When the Allies invaded mainland Europe on D-Day, June 6, 1944, five million Jews had already been murdered in the Holocaust. Join Program Manager Jennifer Goss to explore the options, decisions, and actions taken by the Allies to defeat Nazi Germany and liberate Europe. Investigate the priorities of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the attempts to save Jewish lives in the war effort and through other operations, such as the War Refugee Board. Utilizing primary resources, including visual history testimony from American soldiers, explore the impact that confronting the Nazi atrocities had on the American soldiers who participated in the liberation of the camps. By adding nuance and complexity to the American war effort, educators will be better equipped to challenge their students to think critically about the decisions made by the Allies during World War II.
This webinar connects to the Units 5 and 6 on the Echoes & Reflections website.
