Description:
Mass murder at Treblinka was intended to be a secret, but was actually well known to the nearby townspeople. In his book Spaces of Treblinka: Retracing a Death Camp, Dr. Jacob Flaws, assistant professor of history at Kean University, utilizes testimonies, oral histories, and recollections from Jewish, German, and Polish witnesses to reject the historical misconception that Treblinka was an isolated Nazi death camp with few witnesses and fewer survivors. Join Dr. Flaws for a webinar that will examine the concept of spatial reality, reveal that there were more witnesses to Treblinka than previously realized, and show that we, in our modern, interconnected world, can all become witnesses.
This webinar connects to Unit 5 on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Description:
Perkins’s early experiences working in Chicago’s famed Hull House, and as a firsthand witness to the horrific Triangle Shirtwaist fire, shaped her determination to advocate for immigrants and refugees. As Secretary of Labor, she wrestled with widespread antisemitism and isolationism, finding creative ways to work around quotas and restrictive immigration laws. Diligent, resilient, empathetic, yet steadfast, she persisted on behalf of the desperate when others refused to act.
Book talk by Rebecca Brenner Graham, Ph.D.
Perkins was the first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet, the longest-serving labor secretary, and an architect of the New Deal. Yet beyond these celebrated accomplishments, there is another dimension to Frances Perkins’s story. Without fanfare, and despite powerful opposition, Perkins helped save the lives of countless Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany.
In March 1933, at the height of the Great Depression, Perkins was appointed Secretary of Labor by FDR. As Hitler rose to power, thousands of German-Jewish refugees and their loved ones reached out to the INS—then part of the Labor Department—applying for immigration to the United States, writing letters that began “Dear Miss Perkins …”
Dr. Rebecca Brenner Graham is a postdoctoral research associate at Brown University. Previously, she taught at the Madeira School and American University. She has a PhD in history and an MA in public history from American University, as well as a BA in history and philosophy from Mount Holyoke College. In 2023, she was awarded a Cokie Roberts Fellowship from the National Archives Foundation and a Rubenstein Center Research Fellowship from the White House Historical Association. Her writing has been published in the Washington Post, Time, Slate, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and elsewhere.

Description:
Life Must Go On is the remarkable story of Sol Lurie, a child survivor of six concentration camps during the Holocaust, who continues to be a beacon of hope.
After a bucolic childhood in Kovno, Lithuania, Sol was just eleven when the Nazis invaded and he and his family were forced to move into the Kovno Ghetto. The Kovno Ghetto was one of the only ghettos to later become a concentration camp, and Sol was among just a few Jewish survivors from Kovno.
In this inspiring story of tenacity, character, faith, love, and forgiveness, we follow young Sol through heartbreak and fear, torment, and torture. Through Sol’s eyes, we learn the history of the communities in Eastern Europe, especially Lithuania, which has long been a gap in the wider history of the Holocaust. Along the way, we meet the righteous few who helped save young Sol’s life. After being imprisoned in six other concentration camps for a total of four years, Sol was liberated from Buchenwald on his 15th birthday. To this day, he still joyfully celebrates every year the day he was born and liberated. Miraculously, Sol’s three brothers and his father also survived the Holocaust.
Despite the horrors of youth, Sol never lost his determination to live life to the fullest. He embarked on a new life in the United States and would thrive as a husband, father, grandfather, business owner, and an inspiration for the thousands of schoolchildren and adults who have heard Sol share his incredible tales of survival and the positive lessons he has learned from the most horrific of experiences.
Author Bea Lurie will be in conversation about their book with Dr. Steven Leonard Jacobs.
Bea Lurie is the daughter of two child Holocaust survivors, her father, Sol, and her mother, Evelyn Rebecca Lurie, whose parents escaped from Poland with two toddlers. Bea learned by her parents’ actions the importance of helping those in need and devoted her career to making a difference in the lives of others as a leader of nonprofit organizations and government agencies, and as an owner of two businesses. Bea also is an active volunteer in her community and at her local synagogue.
Dr. Steven Leonard Jacobs is the child of a Holocaust survivor. He is a noted Holocaust and genocide scholar and the author of nearly forty books. Dr. Jacobs is a professor in the Department of Religious Studies at University of Alabama and Emeritus Aaron Aronov Chair of Judaic Studies.

Description:

Participants will gain strategies for navigating sensitive topics such as ethnic violence, international justice, and the effects of genocide with classroom-ready resources including visual history testimony to encourage critical thinking and foster empathy in their students.

Description:
Join Holocaust Museum Houston for our screening of the Noa Aharoni film, Sabotage. January 1945, less than two weeks before the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp evacuation, four forced laborer women, Estusia Wajcblum, Rosa Robota, Alla Gartner, and Regina Safirstein were hanged in public, accused of sabotaging the Nazi war machine. Sabotage tells the dramatic unknown story of the women’s underground operation in Auschwitz-Birkenau. It is a story of feminine heroism, resistance, and tragedy told through the eyes of Anna Wajcblum Heilman, Estusia’s sister and youngest member of the women’s resistance.
Under the horrific inferno of Auschwitz, Anna writes a diary describing the dramatic story of the women’s resistance, the camaraderie, and the friendship between them.

Description:
After the Nazi occupation of France in June 1940, life changed rapidly for the approximately 340,000 Jews living there—many of whom were targeted not just by German forces, but by their own countrymen. Through discriminatory laws, arrests, and mass roundups—with the first deportations to Auschwitz beginning in 1942—the collaboration between the French, including the Vichy government, and the Nazis led to devastating consequences.
Join Echoes & Reflections Director of Holocaust Content & Pedagogy Jesse Tannetta as he demonstrates how to integrate photographs, survivor testimonies, and other compelling primary sources to help students connect with the human stories behind the statistics—and deepen their understanding of how the Holocaust was implemented in Western Europe.
This webinar connects to Unit 5 on the Echoes & Reflections website.
