Description:
Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage to learn more about the Warsaw Ghetto and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Dr. Zachary Mazur, Senior Historian at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, will discuss the history of the Warsaw Ghetto and its continued impact worldwide.Part Three: “Legacies and Meanings of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising”
The final session investigates the afterlife of the Uprising and how an act of desperate military resistance became a foundational pillar of Jewish memory. Over the decades, the story of the ghetto fighters has been interpreted—and sometimes instrumentalized—differently around the globe. The lecture will contrast the shifting narratives across three distinct landscapes: in Poland, where the uprising is integrated into a broader history of national martyrdom and resistance against totalitarianism; in Israel, where it was heavily woven into the ethos of the “sabra” fighter and the state’s establishment; and in the United States, where it often serves as a universal symbol of the triumph of the human spirit against tyranny.

Description:
Americans today like to believe that the end of World War II brought a new era of tolerance in the United States. But antisemitism and racism went up-not down-after the war’s end. Violence broke out in cities across the country, and the number of organized hate groups more than doubled from 1940 to 1946. In this shocking account of a resurgence of White Supremacy in America, celebrated historian Steven J. Ross reveals how four key leaders-Emory Burke, J. B. Stoner, James Madole, and George Lincoln Rockwell-worked together to “finish the job Hitler had begun,” launching deadly attacks on Jews and African Americans and building a network of terrorists across the U.S. In response to this “war of hate,” three men-Arnold Forster of the Anti-Defamation League, George Mintzer of the American Jewish Committee, and James Sheldon of the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League-along with dozens of men and women, launched a multipronged effort: They infiltrated, monitored, and undermined these hate groups, putting their own safety on the line and scoring important victories that, today, have been all but forgotten.
Tracing the extraordinary work of these unsung heroes, The Secret War Against Hate provides a groundbreaking reconsideration of the legacy of the “Good War,” and essential reading on how America today can beat hate once again and build a just and united nation.
Steven J. Ross is Distinguished Professor of History and Director of the University of Southern California’s Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish Role in American Life. His recent book, The Secret War Against Hate: American. Resistance to Antisemitism and White Supremacy, has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award. He recently appeared with Rachel Maddow at a sold-out conversation at the 92nd Street Y in New York. His previous book, Hitler in Los Angeles: How Jews Foiled Nazi Plots Against Hollywood and America was named a Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History for 2018 and was on the Los Angeles Times Bestseller List for 23 weeks. It was also made into a documentary for French television, Leon Lewis, the Man Who Defeated the Nazis in Hollywood (English title). Ross’s Op-Eds and columns have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Politico and other major news outlets.

Description:
During the Holocaust, Christians across Europe made choices that shaped the fate of millions. Some were active and ardent Nazis and perpetrators. Others stood by in silence. A courageous few risked their lives to help those in danger. What drove these decisions? And how do we teach students to examine this complex moral terrain? Join Director of Holocaust Content & Pedagogy Jesse Tannetta to explore classroom-ready resources and effective strategies to help students examine how faith guided ordinary Christians and influential leaders, including the Pope, to act, and not act, in a myriad of ways, and how those roles were not always fixed but could shift based on circumstances, choices and agency.

Description:
Between 1939 and 1945, the Nazis forcibly imprisoned Jews in more than 1,100 ghettos across occupied Europe. For the teenagers who lived within those walls, the experience meant the sudden, violent loss of school, family routines, friendships, and the very possibility of a future. Their stories, told through diary entries, photographs, visual history testimony, and poetry, tell a complex narrative of suffering and death but also of love and hope.
Led by classroom teacher and Echoes & Reflections facilitator Tyrone Shaw, participants will deepen their understanding of the ghettos and learn effective strategies to incorporate the perspectives of young people into this chapter of Holocaust history, invoking a more nuanced understanding of life in the ghettos and fostering empathy in their students.

Description:
Following the Civil War, prominent fire insurance companies in the United States issued instructions to their agents to deny Jews fire insurance policies because of their alleged proclivity to arson. In the years that followed, the stereotype of the Jewish arsonist spread throughout the United States, appearing in fire insurance manuals, cartoons, songs, and silent films.Jewish Firebugs presents the first detailed exploration of both the accusations and the realities of Jewish arson from the late 1800s to the early 1920s. Drawing on such diverse records as fire department reports, insurance records, newspapers, trial transcripts, and humor journals, Jeffrey Marx delves into the social forces that created and then sensationalized the caricature of the Jewish arsonist, investigating how and why Jews became the only racial/ethnic group to be targeted this way in the United States. The book critically assesses how these antisemitic representations were solidified in the American imagination–from the spread of jokes and cartoons, to vaudeville performances across the country.In addition, Marx also investigates the various factors that led to arson criminal activity in Jewish neighborhoods, the unique way that Jewish “arson gangs” were organized, and how the fire insurance companies actively supported their efforts. Jewish Firebugs illustrates the socioeconomic realities of Jewish immigrant life at the turn of the nineteenth century, and details what the Jewish arsonist trope reveals about the dynamics of antisemitism in the United States.
Jeffrey A. Marx is an Independent Scholar and the author of Smoothing the Jew: Abie the Agent and Ethnic Caricature in the Progressive Era.

Description:
Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage and the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw for a deeper look at the new exhibition Will These Words Reach You? The Underground Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto, an examination of one of the most significant acts of Jewish resistance and historical preservation during the Holocaust: the creation of the Oyneg Shabes Archive. Led by historian and activist Dr. Emanuel Ringelblum, a clandestine group of Jewish scholars, educators, journalists, religious leaders, artists, and youth activists committed themselves to recording Jewish life as it unfolded under Nazi rule. Over three years, they gathered nearly 35,000 documents, including testimonies, diaries, letters, and underground newspapers.
Will These Words Reach You? commemorates the 80th anniversary of the archive's recovery. Join Zuzanna Schnepf-Kołacz, Deputy Director for Programs at the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute; Sara Softness, the Museum's Director of Curatorial Affairs; and Tamar Rabinowitz, the Museum's Senior Curator, for a discussion about the process of curating the exhibition and the Oyneg Shabes Archive's continued importance.

Description:
Join author Ruth Stitt as she shares her latest novel, When the World was Broken.
Based on a true family story from the Holocaust, her third self-published book is based on letters between her American grandmother and her three Jewish cousins in Berlin. The correspondence continued from 1938 to 1942, chronicling the cousins' desperation to escape Nazi Germany and her grandmother's diligent, frustrating efforts to rescue them.
In a time of rising antisemitism, Ruth believes this book is a timely contribution to Holocaust literature and hopes it will open many conversations about standing against this type of evil and hatred in our time.
