Description:
Explore how Expressionist artists sought to convey emotional truth through abstraction, distortion, and bold color, and how their innovations came into conflict with the Nazi regime’s cultural ideology. As the Nazi regime condemned Expressionist work as “Degenerate Art,” many artists faced censorship, exile, and persecution. And yet, their visual language defied oppression and persevered to produce works of art as images and acts of defiance.
Featured speaker: Lauren Crampton, Holocaust Education Resource Center (HERC)
Presented by the Alabama Holocaust Education Center & HERC

Description:
Hunger, the proverbial wolf at the door, is a universal experience. Eating may keep the beast at bay but it doesn’t tame it; calories alone can nourish the body, but not the mind and soul. For many with PTSD, including Holocaust survivors, food can be an incomplete escape into a more stable life. In How to Share an Egg—a narrative that interweaves the author’s own story with that of her Holocaust-survivor father, Saul — Bonny Reichert explores how identity and trauma can be preserved and transmuted across generations. Saul’s memories of suffering and sustenance feed Reichert’s hunger for understanding, tikkun (repair), and healing.
This book begins in 1945 with Saul on the brink of starvation after his recent liberation from the Flossenbürg concentration camp (preceded by imprisonment in the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and Sachsenhausen). This moment anchors the intergenerational trauma that Bonny explores throughout this book. Although her childhood in Edmonton, Canada could be described as genial, that would deny the profound darkness that she struggles with.
Author Bonny Reichert will join us via zoom.
Sponsored by the Barshop JCC and Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio

In-person registration includes a 6 p.m. reception and 7 p.m. program. Attendees are welcome to tour the exhibition before and after the program.
Throughout World War II, both Allied and Axis powers created propaganda posters, advertisements, and films designed to rally domestic support and vilify the enemy. Walt Disney Pictures produced scores of theatrical cartoons as well as hundreds of training films for the U.S. Army, Navy, and other U.S. government departments. Some shorts reimagined beloved Disney characters in patriotic roles, while others depicted the schemes of the villainous Nazis. A 32-year veteran of The Walt Disney Company, award-winning artist, filmmaker, and author David A. Bossert joins us to recount how Disney used entertainment to promote the war effort, becoming a powerful force in the fight to win the war.Tickets

Description:
In the Spira Central Gallery, a remarkable story unfolds—a story born from the liberation of Bergen-Belsen on April 15, 1945. British soldier Arthur Tyler encountered Naomi Kaplan, a Polish Jewish survivor of Auschwitz and Belsen, and wrote a letter that changed her life. That single message, sent to her family in Houston, set off a chain of events that reunited loved ones and allowed Naomi to begin anew. Through original letters, photographs, and personal artifacts, Naomi and Arthur: Letters from Liberation traces a journey from horror to hope—revealing how a single act of kindness can alter the course of history.
We are honored to welcome Myfanwy Lloyd, historian at Oxford Art Consultants, whose research formed the foundation for this exhibition, to deliver the opening remarks.

Description:
Directed by Michel Hazanavicius
Animation | 81 minutes | French, Russian, German with English subtitles
Striking watercolor backgrounds convey the harsh landscape beauty in this animated film about a baby thrown from a train bound for Auschwitz and found in the snow by a childless woodcutter’s wife. The child transforms the lives of her adoptive parents, despite the threatening danger from the “hunters of the heartless,” the antisemites. Almost silently, the film merges fairytale elements with the reality of the Holocaust, revealing both horror and humanity.

About the Speaker
Dr. Andras Lacko was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1936. In a twist of fate, Lacko contracted scarlet fever in 1944 which saved him from ghettoization and subsequent deportation to Poland. He survived the Holocaust in a military hospital and was later reunited with his mother and father after the Soviet liberation of Budapest.

$16 Member | $22 Public
Directed by Charlie Chaplin
Satire | 125 minutes | English
The Great Dictator was Charlie Chaplin's first talkie—a bold, satirical attack on Hitler and fascism, years before the United States entered World War II. Chaplin used humor and his uncanny resemblance to Hitler to expose the tyranny and repression. Chaplin produced the film himself after studios warned that it would never be shown in the UK or the US; it was later nominated for five Academy Awards. This work of resistance is a powerful plea for democracy and humanity and remains highly relevant today.

Description:
Sons of Survivors, written by Aron Hirt-Manheimer and Marty Yura is a dual memoir that traces the colorful growing-up adventures of two sons of survivors through fast-paced alternating passages. Though the Holocaust formed the backdrop of their lives, it was only as older adults that they set out to try to piece together what happened to their families during the war -- and to bear witness.
For Aron, the most powerful revelations were contained in a nearly forgotten memoir written by his uncle fifty years earlier in Argentina. Marty’s breakthrough came after participating in a Zen Peacemakers immersion retreat on the killing fields of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Navigating through this haunted terrain together, the friends realized that the love they inherited from their parents transcends the trauma. Their joint memoir attests to a legacy of love against hate.
Hirt-Manheimer and Yura will be in conversation about their book with Dr. Michael Berenbaum.
