Description:
In the forests of Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe, Jewish partisan Faye Schulman carried two extraordinary weapons: a rifle and a camera. After witnessing the murder of her family and the destruction of her community, she joined the partisans, documenting daily life, resistance, and survival. Her photographs—taken while living and fighting with a partisan unit—are the only known images captured from within a partisan camp.
This presentation explores Schulman’s remarkable life through her wartime photography, highlighting its historical significance and artistic legacy. Drawing from the Pictures of Resistance exhibition, participants will discover how her images challenge misconceptions about Jewish resistance during the Holocaust while serving as enduring works of documentary photography and visual testimony.

Description:
On October 14, 2026, Echoes & Reflections commemorates the 83rd anniversary of the uprising at the German Nazi death camp in Sobibor. Approximately 180,000 Jews were murdered there – from Poland, the Netherlands, Austria, Czechia, Germany, Slovakia, and France. The murder was halted by the daring prisoner uprising, one of the most significant acts of Jewish resistance in the Holocaust. This webinar will be led by Łukasz Kukawski, the head of education at the Museum and Memorial in Sobibor, who will discuss the camp and the uprising. This webinar connects to Unit 5 and 7 on the Echoes & Reflections website.

He served in four governments as minister and deputy prime minister. He has received numerous honors, including the Israel Prize, the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor.

Description:
Antisemitism has persisted for centuries by continually adapting ancient conspiracy theories to fit new social, political, and cultural contexts. This webinar will trace the evolution of antisemitic myths from medieval accusations of secret power, devil worship, and ritual harm to modern conspiracy narratives that repackage these same themes through contemporary events and public figures. We will examine how media ecosystems help preserve and renew these narratives, revealing how remarkably old ideas continue to shape modern antisemitism.
Led by Brian Hughes, PhD, Director of USC Shoah Foundation's Countering Antisemitism Lab, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the historical roots of antisemitic conspiracy theories, how they evolve and endure across generations, and why they remain so resilient today.

Description:
Discover the remarkable Jewish heritage of Vlorë, a coastal Albanian city with a powerful story of community, courage, and survival. As we explore the city, we’ll trace the history of Jewish life in Vlorë and learn how Albania became a place of refuge for Jews during World War II. We’ll hear stories of local families who risked their lives to protect Jewish neighbors and refugees, guided by Besa, the Albanian tradition of honor, hospitality, and keeping one’s word.
Along the way, we’ll also touch on the story of Dr. Anna Kohen, author of Flower of Vlora: Growing Up Jewish in Communist Albania. Born into a Jewish family in Vlorë, Kohen’s story offers a personal glimpse into Jewish life in Albania after the war and her family’s eventual journey from Albania to a new life abroad. Through stories like hers, historic sites, and the streets of Vlorë today, we’ll uncover a lesser-known chapter of Jewish history and the enduring connections between Albania’s Jewish and Muslim communities. Co-presented with Wowzitude.

Description:
The artist Armin Stern (1883–1944), born near Pressburg (now Bratislava), moved to Frankfurt in 1900 to study painting. Despite numerous travels and periods of study in Paris, Brittany, the Netherlands, and Ticino, Frankfurt remained the center of his life. After being excluded from an exhibition at the Frankfurt Kunstverein in 1933 because he was a “non-Aryan artist,” he relocated with his family to Bratislava, which had by then become part of Czechoslovakia.
As the situation there also grew increasingly perilous, Stern initially sought to emigrate to the British Mandate of Palestine. By his own account, the painter had become a Zionist while still a schoolboy; during an extended stay in Eretz Israel in 1933–34, he had already gained intimate knowledge of the country while simultaneously looking for a place to settle with his family. In 1938, he obtained an entry visa for the USA; he settled in New York and participated in several exhibitions. After five years of exile in the United States, Armin Stern died of heart failure in July 1944, just days before he was due to be naturalized.
Although Stern had been a successful and popular landscape and portrait painter, he had all but fallen into oblivion. This changed only with the publication of his biography by his granddaughter in 2008 and a cabinet exhibition at the Jewish Museum Frankfurt a year later. Now, the artist’s estate—gifted by his grandchildren—enriches the art collection of the Jewish Museum.
Erik Riedel is head of exhibitions at the Jewish Museum Frankfurt and curator of the museum’s Ludwig Meidner Archive. The archive consists of the artistic estates of Ludwig and Else Meidner and several other artists who were forced into exile. Erik Riedel has curated numerous exhibitions on 19th- and 20th-century art, for instance on Moritz Daniel Oppenheim, Ludwig and Else Meidner, Charlotte Salomon, and Arie Goral. Apart from several exhibitions catalogues he has published the catalogue raisonné of Ludwig Meidner’s sketchbooks and the conference proceedings “Ludwig Meidner. Expressionism, Ecstasy, Exile” (2018), as well as the catalogue raisonné of Ludwig Meidner’s paintings until 1927 (2023).
This event is part of the online series “Flight or Fight. stories of artists under repression.”

Description:
During World War II, approximately 30,000 Jews, many of them teenagers, fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators in armed resistance. How did these Jewish partisans survive in the forests of Nazi-occupied Europe—and what can their experiences teach students today? Led by Sheri Rosenblum, Director of Operations, Development, and Programs for the Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation, educators will explore the Living and Surviving in the Jewish Partisans lesson, designed for grades 6–12. Through short films, firsthand testimonies, primary sources, and classroom activities, participants will examine the challenges of finding food, medicine, clothing, and shelter while confronting danger, antisemitism, and difficult ethical choices.
Teachers will leave with ready-to-use strategies and activities they can bring directly into their classrooms, including opportunities for students to explore the themes of resourcefulness, courage, resistance, and resilience. The lesson and its accompanying films are also available in Spanish.
