Description:
My Mother’s War is a gripping memoir by Holocaust survivor Michael Fryd about his mother Evelyn, an indomitable woman who saved her family from the Nazis by demonstrating extraordinary courage and masterful cunning. Armed with nothing but her limitless energy, inborn intelligence, and outsized ambition, she outsmarted German Nazis, Polish antisemites, and Russian soldiers at every turn.
Michael was only three years old when Nazi Germany invaded Poland, triggering World War II and one of humanity’s darkest chapters. Forced to leave their home and everything they knew, Michael’s mother did whatever it took to keep her family safe from Hitler’s clutches. She fled with her family under the cover of night, taking shelter in a root cellar where they lived in hiding for three years. By sheer force of will, Evelyn provided for her family time and time again. Having lost all respect for the law that didn’t protect her, she adopted the most creative, and at times illegal, methods of survival. The end of the war was only the beginning, as Michael’s mother blazed a trail through treacherous territory in the promise of a better life for her family.
Michael Fryd lives and writes in Philadelphia. After an award-winning career as a scientist, he returned to his early passion, writing. His short fiction has appeared in Intrinsick, Easy Street, Page and Spine, Evening Street Press, UK Short Humor, and Story Sanctum. My Mother’s War is his first published full-length work.
6:00 PM (CT ) A $10 suggested donation enables the MJH to present programs like this one.

Description:
“I was screaming and crying … I didn’t want to go,” remembers Holocaust survivor Josie Traum about the day strangers came to her family’s apartment and took her away. In 1942, as authorities began rounding up Jewish men, women, and children in Nazi-occupied Belgium, Josie’s mother knew she had to act quickly. She entrusted strangers in the resistance movement with taking three-year-old Josie to a secret location and keeping her safe. She didn’t know if this painful choice was the right one or if she’d ever see her only child again. Watch to learn what happened next, and discover if Josie and her mother ever reunited after their tearful goodbye.

Description:
The Mischlinge Exposé weaves a multimedia tapestry around a little-known aspect of the Holocaust: the Mischlinge (a derogatory Nazi term for those neither fully Jewish nor fully Aryan). The program interweaves video and audio testimony from American pianist Carolyn Enger’s godmother and her father (both labeled Mischling, Grade A by the Nazis) with the music of composers from the salon period who converted to Christianity in the decades before the war. Reacting to questions of identity after the war, the program vividly illustrates what it was like to be between worlds in Germany in the first half of the 20th century. Through the telling of her family story, Enger’s live documentary directly addresses universally significant issues of identity and inclusion, encouraging empathy, tolerance, and engagement.

Description:
When teaching the Holocaust, film can be one of the most compelling, yet complicated educational tools available for a talented educator. Yet with so many documentary and feature films available on the topic, how are teachers supposed to decide what will work best for their students? In this series, co-sponsored by the NYU Center for the Study of Antisemitism and the Museum of Jewish Heritage, we will review appropriate criteria for choosing films to teach about the Holocaust, and suggest documentary and feature films that are appropriate and effective pedagogical tools.
March 24, 2025 (via Zoom 3:30 – 5:00pm), Teaching the Holocaust with Feature Films, Prof. Avinoam Patt.
Participants will be eligible to receive CTLE credit.

Description:
In the 1930s, Germany was a hotbed of scientific thought. But after the Nazis took power, Jewish and female citizens were forced out of their academic positions. Hedwig Kohn, Lise Meitner, Hertha Sponer and Hildegard Stücklen were eminent in their fields, but they had no choice but to flee due to their Jewish ancestry or anti-Nazi sentiments.Well researched and written with cinematic prose, Olivia Campbell’s Sisters in Science brings these trailblazing women to life and shows us how sisterhood and scientific curiosity can transcend borders and persist—flourish, even—in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
Olivia Campbell is the New York Times bestselling author of Women in White Coats: How the First Women Doctors Changed the World of Medicine and Sisters in Science: How Four Women Physicists Escaped Nazi Germany and Made Scientific History. She is also a thesis advisor for Johns Hopkins University’s science writing program and a regular contributor to National Geographic. Her work has appeared in The Atlantic, History.com, Scientific American, The Guardian, Literary Hub, and New York Magazine, among others.
