Description:
This is a golden opportunity to hear a survivor speak and to ask questions in real time. Pinchas Gutter was born in Lodz, Poland in 1932. Pinchas and his family were imprisoned in the Warsaw ghetto, and were later deported to Majdanek, a concentration and death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland, where Pinchas's sister and parents were murdered. By the time he was liberated in 1945, Pinchas had survived six Nazi camps and a death march. By watching Pinchas's story in advance, you'll be able to ask him the questions his testimony raises for you personally. Watch Pinchas's story here.

Description:
For 80 years scholars, theologians, writers, filmmakers, and artists have been pondering the “lessons learned” from the Holocaust. But since the end of World War II, we have seen, and continue to see, genocides, mass killings, violent revolutions, and human rights abuses.
Undemocratic, hyper-nationalist, and racist political parties are taking hold or make gains even in democratic nations. Their success is not achieved through revolution or military coups, but by capturing the very instruments of civil society – elections, government bureaucracies, courts, and media.
Given the state of the world, what can we say has been learned by a study of the Holocaust? Besides mourning our dead, is there still something to be gained by studying the Holocaust? This question is critical in a historical moment. As citizens and educators, we must be able to clearly answer the question: why study the Holocaust?
Join Dr. Michael Nutkiewicz in this webinar as we interrogate these essential questions about our history and work towards shaping a more just, equitable, and humane future.
Michael Nutkiewicz received his PhD in History from UCLA. His professional work was with refugees and victims of political violence. He served as senior historian at Steven Spielberg’s Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation, executive director of the Program for Torture Victims (Los Angeles), and director of refugee resettlement for Catholic Charities of New Mexico. He taught Jewish studies at the University of Missouri-Columbia and the University of New Mexico.

In 1942 Maud and her sister Rita were sheltered from the Nazis by a Christian couple in the Netherlands.

Maud found healing years later as an adult when she began to speak about her wartime experiences.

Description:
Born in Germany, Suzanne Loebl and her family left for Belgium in 1938 and were lucky enough to be hidden there after the Nazis overran the country. She survived to carve out a diverse career as a writer, including books that focus on the visual arts and museums. Her most recent volume, Plunder and Survival, draws from her passion for art and her fascination with the story of both the Nazi obsession and theft of cultural property and the winding trajectory of attempts to restore plundered artworks to the families or institutions from which they were stolen. In this program, Loebl will engage in a dialogue with Ori Z Soltes, Co-Founder and Chair of the Holocaust Art Restitution Project. The discussion will offer a dynamic interweave of personal anecdote and ideas of universal consequence, mediated by unique visual images.

Description:
Part One: “A ‘Jewish District’ in the World’s Most Jewish City”
This session explores pre-war Warsaw—then the vibrant heartbeat of European diaspora culture—and its systematic destruction. We will trace the forced creation of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940, analyzing how the sealing of its walls created an artificial landscape of extreme overcrowding, starvation, and disease. The lecture will dive into the social and psychological mechanics of survival inside the walls before pivoting to the tragic turning point of July 1942. In addition, we will examine the social mechanics of the mass deportations of over 265,000 Jews to the Treblinka extermination camp over a two-month period.

Description:
This webinar explores the value of survivor testimony in Holocaust memory. Participants will examine the motives, challenges, and enduring responsibility survivors navigate when offering firsthand accounts and how it shapes our understanding of the Holocaust and its impact on the world.
Led by USC Shoah Foundation's Lesly Culp, EdD, Director of Education, this session will equip participants with strategies that analyze the role of survivor testimony to inform memory of personal experiences during the Holocaust and interpret visual history testimony along with other primary sources to foster compassion and a deeper understanding of moral responsibility in the face of trauma.

Description:
Part Two: “The Ghetto Fights Back: Uprising and Resistance”
The second session centers on the psychological shift from individual survival to collective defiance. In the wake of the 1942 deportations, primarily young healthy Jews remained in the ghetto. Despite their total despair, some continued to participate in political movements and planned armed resistance. We will chronicle the changing attitudes over the winter of 1942-43 and the shock of April 1943, when German forces attempted the complete destruction of the ghetto. A small contingent surprised the Germans with a forceful fight. Finally, this lecture will confront the complex, painful history of the “Aryan side” of Warsaw, examining the actions of Polish underground networks who provided aid, the passivity of the surrounding population, and the geopolitical isolation of the fighters.

Description:
Join Holocaust Museum Houston for a night with Dr. Pamela Toler, Author of The Dragon from Chicago: The Untold Story of an American Reporter in Nazi Germany.
"Today we face an alarming upsurge in the spread of misinformation and attempts by powerful figures to discredit facts so they can seize control of our political and cultural narratives. These are threats American journalist Sigrid Schultz knew all too well. The Chicago Tribune's Berlin bureau chief and primary foreign correspondent for Central Europe from 1925 to January 1941, Schultz witnessed Hitler’s rise to power and was one of the first reporters—male or female—to warn American readers of the growing dangers of Nazism. She was one of the last to leave Berlin before it was too late.
In The Dragon From Chicago, historian Pamela Toler tells the story of Schultz’s years spent courageously reporting the news from Berlin, from the revolts of 1919 through the Nazi rise to power and Allied air raids over Berlin in 1941. At a time when women reporters rarely wrote front-page stories, Schultz regularly reported the truth about Nazi Germany in the face of censorship and the threat of expulsion, internment, or death.
The Nazis called Schultz “that dragon from Chicago.” One of her fellow correspondents called her “Adolph Hitler’s greatest enemy.” Schultz herself claimed to be “just a reporter.” Her story is a powerful account of one woman standing up for truth in an era marked by the spread of disinformation and propaganda spawned by hate."
