Description:
After a successful tour of 50 libraries from 2021 to 2023, the Museum is continuing to partner with the American Library Association’s Public Programs Office to extend the Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition to an additional 50 libraries across the United States from 2024 to 2026.
This 1,100-square-foot traveling exhibition is based on the exhibition that opened in April 2018 at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. The Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition addresses important themes in American history, including Americans’ responses to refugees, war and genocide in the 1930s and ‘40s. This exhibition will challenge the commonly held assumptions that Americans knew little and did nothing about the Nazi persecution and murder of Jews as the Holocaust unfolded.
Drawing on a remarkable collection of primary sources from the 1930s and ‘40s, the exhibition focuses on the stories of individuals and groups of Americans who took action in response to Nazism. It will challenge visitors to consider the responsibilities and obstacles faced by individuals—from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to ordinary Americans—who made difficult choices, sought to effect change, and, in a few cases, took significant risks to help victims of Nazism even as rescue never became a government priority. The exhibit hopes to challenge people to not only ask “what would I have done?” but also, “what will I do?”

Description:
In recognition of Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), Deborah Roth-Howe along with Congregation Havurah Shalom of Sun City, Texas and in partnership with the Georgetown Public Library have created a thought-provoking and inspiring program titled “A Reason to Remember”: Roth, Germany 1933-1942". This program will take place at The Georgetown Public Library’s Hewlett Room, located at 402 West 8th Street in Georgetown, Texas on Sunday, April 12th 2025 from 2-4pm. The event is FREE and all are welcome.
Deborah Roth-Howe, a daughter of one of the survivors of the community, will share a personal and detailed account of a rural Jewish community before, under and after Nazi Rule. She will present the powerful story at the heart of the acclaimed Holocaust exhibit “A Reason to Remember,” created by the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies. Her talk will highlight the history of the five Jewish families who lived in the village of Roth Germany between 1933 and 1942, tracing their daily lives, rising persecution, and eventual fate under Nazi rule. Through this village-level lens, Roth-Howe brings forward a deeper understanding of how the Holocaust unfolded for ordinary families whose lives were forever changed.
Through this intimate story, attendees will learn about the everyday joys, challenges, and ultimately the devastation experienced by these families as Nazi persecution tightened around them. The program underscores the importance of preserving personal histories and recognizing the individual lives behind historical events.
This Yom HaShoah event invites the community to reflect, remember, and bear witness. Roth-Howe’s presentation offers not only historical insight but also a moving intergenerational perspective grounded in her own family’s experience as Holocaust refugees.

Description:
Dr. David Averred of Hillsdale College will speak on “THE RETURN OF THE JEWISH QUESTION:Antisemitism on the Online Right”
In the past year or so, it has become impossible not to notice the number of influencers—led by Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Candace Owens—who are aggressively pushing, with varying degrees of subtlety, a “blame the Jews” approach to politics. Upstream from them are purportedly more serious thinkers who publish books and essays pointing to the role of Jews in orchestrating everything from wokeness to mass immigration to endless wars. While there is an undeniable appeal to blaming a pesky minority for the decline of America, the online right’s Jewish fixation is intellectually dishonest as it ignores the role of gentiles in shaping politics and attributes to Jewish machinations what are really the inherent tendencies of liberal democracy.
Dr. David Azerrad is an Assistant Professor and Research Fellow at Hillsdale College’s Van Andel Graduate School of Government in Washington, D.C. His research and writing focus on classical liberalism, conservative political thought and identity politics. Prior to joining Hillsdale, Azerrad was the Director of the B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics at The Heritage Foundation. He has taught previously at American University and the University of Dallas.

Description:
In commemoration of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Museum of Jewish Heritage invites you to a special public program featuring survivor and Speakers Bureau member, Celia Kener. This annual observance calls on us to remember the lives lost and honor the stories of those who survived. Hearing testimony is one of the most meaningful ways to mark the day.
Born in 1935 in Lvov, Poland, Celia was just a young child when the German invasion in 1941 shattered her family’s world. Her father was drafted into the Russian army, and Celia, her mother, and extended family were forced into the ghetto. When her mother was selected for a labor camp, weekend visits became their only points of connection. Fearing she might not survive, Celia’s mother made the agonizing decision to place her daughter with a childless Catholic couple who could protect her.
Ms. Kener will share her story, followed by audience Q&A.
This program is recommended for Grades 8 through adult and offers an opportunity to engage with history through first-person testimony on this day of remembrance.

Description:
The Nathaniel Foundation partners with Hillel SMU annually for a March to Remember the victims of the Holocaust and to bridge the Christian and Jewish community in solidarity. Join us April 19th as multiple Jewish and Christians organizations come together to reflect with Holocaust survivors and to combat antisemitism.
The March of Remembrance, also known as March of Life, is an international organization that honors the survivors and victims of the Holocaust while promoting healing and reconciliation between victims, perpetrators, and their descendants. It was birthed in Tübingen, Germany by Jobst Bitner, a theologian and activist, as a German-Christian response to the Holocaust. The marches have grown to a worldwide movement led by Christian leaders and universities partnering with the Jewish community.
March of Remembrance Dallas is a local chapter of the Christian organization March of Life, birthed in Tubingen, Germany, that partners with Hillel at SMU to remember the victims of the Holocaust, stand against anti-Semitism and hate, and reconcile with the Jewish community during the season of Yom HaShoa (Holocaust Remembrance Day). Our marches include a ceremony with music, Holocaust survivors, dignitaries and repentant Nazi descendants. Scholarships will be awarded to SMU students at the conclusion of our gathering, with a reception immediately following.
The March of Remembrance Dallas appreciates the help it receives from the Nathaniel Foundation.

Description:
The centuries-old, culturally rich Sephardi (Judeo-Spanish) communities of southeastern Europe experienced some of the highest percentages of annihilation during the Holocaust: yet their stories are rarely told. In this series of lectures, Professor Sarah Abrevaya Stein will explore devastation during the Shoah in the Sephardi heartland of southeastern Europe, framing that story within the broad sweep of modern Sephardi history. Two lectures visit two notable Balkan Jewish communities: that of Salonica (present day Thessaloniki, Greece), and Monastir (present day Bitola, The Republic of North Macedonia), tracing these communities' histories through intimate family stories. A final lecture will move to the North African context to explore how the Second World War and Holocaust were experienced and viewed by refugees and local populations of Muslims and Jews. Though North Africa's Jews were not deported to the Nazi death camps en masse, they were subject to racial laws, plunder, loss of legal rights, and, in cases, forced labor and internment. In this last lecture, wartime North Africa is framed not as a site of military campaigns, but as a lived environment in which many stories and family trajectories dramatically converged.
Sarah Abrevaya Stein is a historian, writer and educator whose work has reshaped our understanding of Jewish history. Her commitment to research is matched by her love of teaching. At UCLA, she is Distinguished Professor of History and the Viterbi Family Chair in Mediterranean Jewish Studies. She is the author or editor of ten books, including Family Papers: a Sephardic Journey Through the Twentieth Century and Plumes: Ostrich Feathers, Jews, and a Lost World of Global Commerce.
Professor Stein has received many awards including the the Salo W. and Jeannette M. Baron Senior Award for Scholarly Excellence in Research of the Jewish Experience from the University of Vienna, the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature, two National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowships, a Guggenheim Fellowship, two National Jewish Book Awards, three National Jewish Book Award Finalist Awards, Best Historical Materials Award from the American Library Association, Judaica Reference Award from the Association for Jewish Libraries, and the UCLA Distinguished Teaching Award. Her work has been translated into Spanish, French, Hebrew, Russian, and Arabic.
