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. Her next book, Shelter on the Lake: 982 Holocaust Refugees and an American Small Town, will be released in spring 2027.

Description:
During the Holocaust, LGBTQI+ persons occupied varying roles, including victims, perpetrators, bystanders, resisters, and everything in between. Despite their presence across every aspect of this history, their stories have often been relegated to the shadows due to postwar politics and the queerphobia that both predated and outlasted the Nazi regime.
Join us in welcoming Dr. Alexis Herr, author of LGBTQI+ Persecution and the Holocaust: An Encyclopedia of Prejudice and Perseverance, as she sheds light on the LGBTQI+ experiences during this period by sharing stories that are crucial to remember but too often overlooked. It this talk, you will hear about lesbian and gay resisters, bisexual and gay perpetrators, a transgender member of the Hitler Youth, and much more. These stories challenge us to reconsider familiar narratives of the Holocaust and to recognize the diverse experiences that have long remained at its margins.
Dr. Alexis Herr is a scholar and educator dedicated to studying and preventing genocide and mass atrocity through research and education. She earned her doctorate in Holocaust History from the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University and has taught at universities on both U.S. coasts. Herr co-founded and directs the Cambodian Genocide Resource Center. Her work has received major fellowships and awards, and she has authored and edited several books on the Holocaust, Rwanda, Sudan, and LGBTQI+ persecution, advancing public understanding of genocide, human rights, and historical memory worldwide across diverse communities and educational settings globally.

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?”
