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.
From the defeat of World War I, a weak and fledgling democracy, and thousands of years of antisemitism, there were many factors that made Germany particularly vulnerable to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Lead by expert facilitator Kim Klett, explore these factors and how the normalization of extremist views and political violence helped facilitate the Nazi rise to power. Examine classroom ready resources and student activities to empower students to recognize the fragility of democracy and make responsible connections to the present.This webinar connects to units 1, 2, and 3 on the Echoes & Reflections website and the Timeline of the Holocaust.

Description:
George Grosz (American, b. Germany, 1893–1959) created the “Stick Men” series in Huntington, where he lived from 1947 until shortly before his death. Featuring hollow figures in an apocalyptic landscape, this group of watercolors offers a searing indictment of humanity following World War II, the Holocaust, and the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Grosz was an internationally renowned German-born artist who remained invested in political art following his immigration to the United States in 1933. In the “Stick Men” series, he wrestles with the emergence of Abstract Expressionism and reaffirms the ability of painting to impact society.
Karli Wurzelbacher, PhD, is the Chief Curator of The Heckscher Museum of Art, where she has curated more than a dozen exhibitions. She has also worked at the Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland and the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio. Wurzelbacher has published on artists including Grosz, Courtney M. Leonard, Joan Mitchell, Louise Nevelson, Joseph Stella, and Jack Whitten. She earned a PhD in art history from the University of Delaware.
This talk is presented on the occasion of the exhibition George Grosz: The Stick Men, on view at The Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington, New York, from May 11 through September 1, 2024. It was organized in collaboration with The Heckscher Museum of Art.
This event is part of the online series “Flight or Fight. stories of artists under repression” organized by The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art, New York.

Description:
In Dark Mirror, Sara Lipton offers a fascinating examination of the emergence of antisemitic iconography in the Middle Ages.
The straggly beard, the hooked nose, the bag of coins, the gaudy apparel – the religious artists of medieval Christendom had no shortage of virulent symbols for identifying Jews. Yet, hateful as these depictions were, the story they tell is not as simple as it first appears. Lipton argues that these visual stereotypes were neither an inevitable outgrowth of Christian theology nor a simple reflection of medieval prejudices. Instead, she maps out the complex relationship between medieval Christians’ religious ideas, social experience, and developing artistic practices that drove their depiction of Jews from benign, if exoticized, figures connoting ancient wisdom to increasingly vicious portrayals inspired by (and designed to provoke) fear and hostility.
Sara Lipton is Professor of History at SUNY Stony Brook and the author of Images of Intolerance: The Representation of Jews and Judaism in the Bible moralisée, which won the Medieval Academy of America’s John Nicholas Brown prize. The recipient of fellowships from the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Huffington Post.

Description:
After Nazi Germany invaded and occupied Hungary in 1944, authorities forced 13-year-old Irene Fogel Weiss and her family to leave their home and live in a crowded ghetto under horrible conditions. Just weeks later, the family found themselves packed in a freight car bound for Auschwitz. When they arrived at the camp, Irene clung to her little sister’s hand—until a Nazi official broke them apart with a baton. Irene froze in terror as her sister disappeared into the crowd. Watch to learn what happened next.
