Description:
Shortly after World War II, an American intelligence officer in Germany uncovered a personal album of photographs chronicling SS officer activities at Auschwitz-Birkenau. A chilling visual record from the Holocaust, the album was hidden in a garage for 70 years and then donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Historian Rebecca Erbelding, Ph.D., joins us to explore the photo album, which she determines was compiled by Karl Höcker, the adjutant to the camp commandant of Auschwitz. Containing rare images of SS officers at leisure, even as atrocities unfolded nearby, the album offers a disturbing glimpse into the personal lives of the perpetrators. Erbelding will share the album’s historical context, significance, and the complex ethical questions it raises about memory and complicity.
About the SpeakerRebecca Erbelding has been a historian, curator, and archivist at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for 21 years. She holds a Ph.D. in American history from George Mason University. Her first book, Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America’s Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe, won the 2018 National Jewish Book Award for excellence in writing based on archival research. She and her work arefeatured in the 2022 PBS documentary “The U.S. and the Holocaust,” directed by Ken Burns, Lynn Novick, and Sarah Botstein.

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?”
