Description: 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. We 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: 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: 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.
