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:
Join USHMM virtually, live from the US Capitol, for the national commemoration of the Holocaust to remember the six million Jews who were murdered and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. The ceremony will feature remarks from Holocaust survivors, members of Congress, and other dignitaries. The 3d US Infantry Regiment (“The Old Guard”) will present the colors and the flags of World War II liberating divisions, and the US Army Band will perform. In addition to a memorial candle-lighting, attendees will pay tribute to the victims.
Congress created the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum as a permanent living memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and established annual Days of Remembrance to be held each spring. This year’s observance is especially important, given the continuing surge in violent antisemitism and increased Holocaust denial and distortion.
We also will mark America’s 250th birthday in 2026 by honoring Americans who rescued European Jews, US soldiers who defeated Nazi Germany during World War II, and Holocaust survivors who cherished the freedom they experienced after immigrating to the United States.
After the live broadcast, the recording will be available to watch on demand.

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:
Reading of the names is CBT's annual program in which volunteers sign up in 15-minute increments to read the names of those who perished in the Holocaust. Many of the victims' names have not been mentioned in over 75 years, and most were never given a proper memorial or burial. You have the opportunity to keep their memory alive by reading their names, by listening to their names, and/or volunteering as an usher, the third critical piece of this program. Watch for the upcoming communications about special guest speaker(s) and the schedule of events.

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.
