Description:
In 1994, more than 1 million people were killed in the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, leaving only a few thousand Tutsi survivors. In August 2024, these survivors and their families will gather together with scholars, artists, and activists at the Voices of Resilience conference in Houston, Texas to connect, heal, and equip attendees with strength and resilience that will be passed on through generations.
Atrocities like the Genocide against the Tutsi have taken countless human lives and devastated nations and communities throughout history. But when the violence ends, those who survive are left with trauma and fear so deep that it can be passed down through generations.
Today, there are hundreds of thousands of people who have survived atrocities but are living with dark shadows of fear and pain. At Voices of Resilience, we will bring light into the shadows by sharing truth and experiencing healing together. We will harness the resilience that survivors of genocide have cultivated in their lives to move forward with understanding and renewed strength that will be passed down through generations.

Can memorials actually become places of erasure that can lead dangerously to forgetting or even denying the truth? Join Dr. Tyler J. Goldberger to explore the questions and issues behind remembrance of this genocide.
This interactive webinar will focus on the importance of memorialization and the dangers of weaponization. It will empower educators to teach about the role and interpretation of memorials in remembering the past and connects to the Justice, Life, and Memory after the Holocaust unit on the Echoes & Reflections website.

About Hidden History: Recounting the Shanghai Jewish Story
Explore the little-known history of the diverse, resettled Jewish community in Shanghai, including Iraqi Jews who arrived in the mid-1800s, Russian Jews who fled pogroms at the turn of the century, and German and Austrian Jews who desperately escaped the Nazis. With most countries limiting or denying entry to Jews during the 1930s, the free port of Shanghai became an unexpected safe haven for Jews attempting to flee the antisemitic policies and identity-based violence in Nazi-controlled Europe. Hidden History explores this multifaceted history of desperation, loss, and asylum through artifacts, survivor stories, and the photographic lens of prominent American photojournalist Arthur Rothstein, who documented the Shanghai Jewish community in 1946 for the United Nations.

Join Holocaust Museum Houston as Holocaust Survivor Ruth Steinfeld shares her story. Ruth and her sister Lea lived in Sinsheim, Germany when Hitler came to power. The family was deported to the Gurs interment camp in 1940, and their mother was faced with a very difficult decision: to let a Jewish philanthropic organization called Oeuvres de Secours aux Enfants (OSE) take her daughters to safety, or keep them with her. Ruth and her sister’s lives were forever altered after that moment.
