Description:
Amid the brutality of the Holocaust, one bright spot shone inside the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz. In the shadows of the smokestacks was a wooden hut where children sang, staged plays, wrote poetry, and learned about the world. Within those four walls, brightly adorned with hand-painted cartoons, the youngest prisoners were kept vermin-free, received better food, and were even taught to imagine having full stomachs and a day without fear. Their guiding light was a twenty-seven-year-old gay, Jewish athlete: Fredy Hirsch.
Being a teacher in a brutal concentration camp was no mean feat. Forced to beg senior SS officers for better provisions, Fredy risked his life every day to protect his beloved children from mortal danger.
But time was running out for Fredy and the hundreds in his care. Could this kind, compassionate, and brave man find a way to teach them the one lesson they really needed to know: how to survive?
The Teacher of Auschwitz shines a light on a truly remarkable individual and tells the inspiring story of how he fought to protect innocence and hope amid depravity and despair.
Wendy Holden was a journalist for eighteen years, including a decade at the Daily Telegraph. She is the author and coauthor of more than thirty books, among them several internationally acclaimed wartime biographies, including Born Survivors, as well as the New York Times bestsellers A Lotus Grows in the Mud (with Goldie Hawn) and Lady Blue Eyes (with Frank Sinatra’s widow, Barbara). She lives in Suffolk, England, with her husband and two dogs, and divides her time between the UK and the US.

Description:
Sigrid Schultz was the Berlin bureau chief for the Chicago Tribune from 1925 to early 1941. She reported on every step of the Nazi rise to power, including a rare private interview with Hitler in 1931. According to William Shirer, author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, "No other American correspondent in Berlin knew so much of what was going on behind the scenes as did Sigrid Schultz." This webinar, led by historian Pamela Toler, will discuss what Sigrid saw, how her newspaper handled her reports, and what we can learn from her experiences.
This webinar connects to Unit 3 on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Description:
Jewish students are facing unprecedented hatred on college campuses today.
We must act now to protect our students from this harassment and intimidation.
Hugh Taylor outlines ways students can advocate for themselves and call out academic dishonesty. This talk will cover the biggest lies professors espouse about Israel, how to support our students, and combat campus antisemitism.
Today’s college educated youth represent tomorrow’s leadership in all areas of American society, from government to business, law, medicine, the sciences, academia, and so forth. If antisemitic views predominate, antisemitism will increase and support for Israel will be compromised.
In his talk, Hugh Taylor will outline a practical, viable counter-propaganda program that will strengthen Jewish college students and enable them to advocate for themselves based on an under-acknowledged aspect of this crisis: The faculty is lying about Israel. It’s past time these liars be called out for their dishonesty.
In this talk, Taylor will cover:
The 5 biggest lies professors tell students about Israel and how to debunk them The risks of not taking action now What you can do to support students and combat antisemitism on campus today
Program is complimentary, light refreshments will be served, and reservations are required.

Description:
When eight-year-old Emanuel “Manny” Mandel and his mother escaped German-occupied Budapest in summer 1944, their tense journey did not go as expected. Nazi and Hungarian authorities had begun deporting several thousand Jews per day to the Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center. To save lives, leaders in the Jewish community negotiated with Nazi officials, initially hoping to suspend the deportations.
They eventually reached a deal to send nearly 1,700 Jewish refugees, including Manny and his mother, to a neutral territory. Little did they know the Nazis would divert their train to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
SpeakerEmanuel “Manny” Mandel, Holocaust Survivor and Museum Volunteer
