Description:
Our 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.
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is one of the most famous acts of Jewish resistance against Nazi tyranny. Within the ghetto walls, ordinary Jews used cunning and resilience to defy an army. One of the ghetto's survivors was Vladka Meed, an ordinary girl who fought against overwhelming odds, and whose true story of resilience is used today to teach students about the Holocaust and inspire them to stand up against hate.
Join author Joshua M. Greene to learn about his book for students grades 5-8, The Girl Who Fought Back: Vladka Meed and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and how you can use the inspiring legacy of Vladka Meed in your classroom. This webinar is presented by Echoes & Reflections and ADL Education and connects to Units 4 and 7 on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Before Auschwitz, before Treblinka, there was Chelmno—the Nazis’ first extermination "camp" and the testing ground for mass murder. Though designed to leave no witnesses, against all odds two men escaped on January 19, 1942, and were the first to bear testimony to the world. Join filmmaker Lior Geller for a gripping exploration of this little-known yet pivotal chapter of Holocaust history, his decade of research into Chelmno and the courageous men who risked everything to expose its horrors, and the journey behind his new film The World Will Tremble. This webinar connects to Unit 5 on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Description:
In Two Sisters, Rosie Whitehouse recounts the harrowing journey of her mother-in-law, Marion, and aunt, Huguette, who fled Nazi-occupied France after their mother was deported to Auschwitz. Seeking refuge, the sisters found themselves in Val d’Isère, where a courageous stranger, Dr. Frédéric Pétri, saved their lives. Whitehouse meticulously pieces together her family’s tragic history while probing ethical questions about courage and complicity during the Holocaust. Through vivid storytelling, she highlights the risks taken by individuals like Dr. Pétri to protect Jewish lives amid the horrors of Vichy France and her contemporary quest to recognize Dr. Pétri as a Righteous Among Nations.
Whitehouse will be in conversation with Diane Cole.
Rosie Whitehouse is a journalist specializing in Jewish life after the Holocaust. She writes for BBC Online, the Observer, The Independent, Tablet magazine, the Jewish Chronicle, Haaretz, and others. A graduate of the London School of Economics, she is a historical advisor at the Vienna-based Centropa, a Jewish history institute. Her first book, The People on the Beach: Journeys to Freedom after the Holocaust, was published in 2020. She lives in London.
