Description:
January 27th marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz, and for this reason the date was chosen for International Holocaust Remembrance Day. But what exactly happened on January 27, 1945? Was liberation the happy ending we think it was? In this webinar Sheryl Ochayon, Project Director at Yad Vashem, will use testimonies, photographs, and other primary sources to tell the story of liberation as it really was, for the survivors and the liberators.

Description:
Join us for an evening of remembrance and reflection as The National WWII Museum commemorates International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
We will be joined by Holocaust survivor Jack Cohen. Cohen was born in 1932 in Chalcis, Greece. After Germany and its allies invaded Greece in 1941, Cohen's family kept a low profile until the Nazis began arresting Greek Jews in 1943. Cohen and his family went into hiding, sheltering at a Greek Orthodox monastery for nearly two years.
Before the program, join us for a reception to explore photojournalist Erez Kaganovitz's storytelling project Humans of the Holocaust. The project pairs compelling contemporary photos of Holocaust survivors with their own remarkable life stories. The poignant and powerful photographs and personal accounts captured by Kaganovitz, the grandson of a Holocaust survivor, offer a fresh perspective about the experiences of Holocaust survivors. Humans of the Holocaust explores individual stories that show how the human spirit can overcome even the most inhumane circumstances. The project is on display at The National WWII Museum from January 13–31, 2025.

Description:
January 27, 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. With so few survivors and eyewitnesses left to share their stories of survival and resilience, Holocaust memorial museums will become even more critical educational spaces. In commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, join Dr. Amy Sodaro, author of Exhibiting Atrocity: Memorial Museums and the Politics of Past Violence (2018), for a discussion about the evolving ways in which the Holocaust is represented in museums and the challenges ahead in communicating this history to new generations.
This event is organized by the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and is co-sponsored by the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center in White Plains; the Reiff Center for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution at Christopher Newport University; the Martin-Springer Institute at Northern Arizona University; the Sam and Frances Fried Holocaust and Genocide Academy at the University of Nebraska at Omaha; the Genocide Studies Program at Yale University; the Holocaust, Genocide & Interfaith Education Center at Manhattan University; the Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at Western Washington University; the Center for the Study of Genocide & Human Rights at Rutgers University; the Holocaust Museum & Center For Tolerance and Education at Rockland Community College; and the Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention at Binghamton University.

Description:
A Special Event for International Holocaust Remembrance Day
In 1945, a few months after his release from Auschwitz, Yechiel De-Nur, still in his striped jacket, sat down and started writing. After two weeks, he was reborn as Ka-Tzetnik, “the man from the camps.” The books that he wrote were translated into 32 languages and sold millions, while the author himself hid behind the pseudonym Ka-Tzetnik. At the trial of Adolf Eichmann in 1961 his revelatory testimony revealed his true identity as he described Auschwitz as “The Other Planet,” a place outside of human judgment. Years later, undergoing an experimental LSD treatment for trauma, he revisits his experience, imagining himself as a SS officer, and that changes everything.
A special in-person event for International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Ticket prices have been set at a minimal amount and all ticket proceeds will be donated to an Israeli Holocaust-related charity. Israeli director Assaf Lapid and producer Guy Hodes will be in Austin for a post-screening Q&A.
Tickets are $7/per person.

Description:
Antisemitism has been described as a virus that mutates. In each historical period, hatred of Jews takes on a different form or focus, often as a reaction to the prevailing ideology of the time – be it religious, racist, or political.
In the aftermath of the October 7 massacre and the ongoing war in Gaza, antisemitism is, once again, reaching levels not seen since the Holocaust. Therefore, it is crucial for learners to understand the historical processes that have given rise to today’s antisemitism. This understanding will help them comprehend the underlying forces and the recurring tropes used to depict Jews and the Jewish State over time.
In this six-part course, learners will explore pivotal periods, such as the interactions between Jews and early Christianity and Islam, medieval manifestations in Christian Europe, the rise of racially motivated antisemitism leading to the Holocaust, the influence of communism and Islamism on perceptions of Jews, and the contemporary landscape of antisemitism, encompassing both extreme right-wing and left-wing ideologies.
Join us to deepen your understanding of the development of antisemitism since ancient times.
