Dr. Jan Grabowski, Distinguished University Professor at the University of Ottawa and leading historian of the Holocaust in Poland and Polish–Jewish relations under German occupation, will present this year's Einspruch Lectures on the Holocaust. Lecture Abstract: The Holocaust is too often remembered as a German crime that swept across a passive continent. This lecture challenges that comforting narrative. Drawing on the historical record, it argues that the destruction of the European Jews was not merely tolerated but actively enabled — and in many cases enthusiastically embraced — by administrations, institutions, and ordinary citizens across occupied and unoccupied Europe alike. From collaborationist bureaucracies to local populations who denounced, plundered, and killed on their own initiative, the machinery of destruction depended on a continent-wide participation that far exceeds what German capacity alone could have achieved. The lecture then turns to the present, tracing a direct line between this uncomfortable history and today's escalating attacks on Holocaust memory and commemoration. It argues that much of this backlash is not simply ignorance or the passage of time, but something more pointed: a refusal to acknowledge one’s own national, or group, complicity. Where societies have never fully reckoned with their own roles — as perpetrators, collaborators, or beneficiaries — the memory of the Holocaust remains an unabsorbed wound, one that resurfaces as resentment, denial, and active efforts to rewrite or diminish the past. To understand why the fight over Holocaust memory is intensifying now, we must understand it as unfinished business — a reckoning many nations have deferred but not escaped.
Sunday's lecture will be followed by a public reception. Dr. Grabowski will present a second lecture the following day in a lunch-and-learn format. To learn more, visit the Einspruch Lectures on the Holocaust page.Click here to register online; registration is required.

Event Details
Dr. Jan Grabowski, Distinguished University Professor at the University of Ottawa and leading historian of the Holocaust in Poland and Polish–Jewish relations under German occupation, will present this year's Einspruch Lectures on the Holocaust. Lecture Abstract: Between 1942 and 1943, the ghettos of Eastern Europe were destroyed in a wave of "liquidation actions" — operations that followed a chillingly consistent pattern from town to town, as if executed from a single script. This lecture examines that pattern: how it was organized, how it repeated itself across hundreds of communities, and what it reveals about the machinery behind it. Close to 20% of all Jews murdered at the time were killed not in the death camps, but in situ — murdered inside or in the proximity of the ghettos in which they lived. The scale of local participation in these killings remains, to this day, largely unknown. And crucially, this violence was not hidden- it happened in public, in daylight, in full view of the surrounding non-Jewish populations. In the aftermath, the value of Jewish life was, in the eyes of many around them, reduced to nothing — and this made possible the Holocaust's final, merciless chapter: the Judenjagd, the hunt for Jewish survivors that continued relentlessly until the war's end.This is a lunch-and-learn event. Dr. Grabowski will present an additional lecture the previous day at 4pm.Click here to register online; registration is required.

Description:
To mark the November Pogrom of 1938 (euphemistically called “Kristallnacht”), a discussion, “Understanding Past Realities of the Holocaust: Photography versus Art” will take place on 4 November 2026. Historians Dr Christoph Kreutzmüller and Dr Rachel Perry examine how photography and art depicted the Nazi state-orchestrated campaign of terror perpetrated against Jewish men, women and children across Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland from 9 to 10 November 1938 (the November Pogrom). The historians ask what photography and art reveal about the lived realities of the victims of the Pogrom, the interactions surrounding the violence and the broader society in which the violence was perpetrated.
The event will be live-streamed and recorded. Questions can be submitted through this form.
The discussion is organized by the Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Program together with the Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art, and the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations.

Mittelman-Berman Holocaust Education Series: Uncovering Treblinka with Caroline Sturdy Colls
Beneath the soil of the death camp at Treblinka, traces of the past remain. From July 1942 through September 1943, Nazi officials murdered an estimated 925,000 Jews and an unknown number of Poles, Roma, and Soviets at Treblinka. In the fall of 1943, following an uprising at the camp, Treblinka was liquidated, and camp personnel erased crimes committed there from the landscape. Through noninvasive forensic archaeological investigations using ground-penetrating radar, Professor Caroline Sturdy Colls has helped discover new evidence of Treblinka’s operations while preserving the dignity and memory of its victims in accordance with Jewish burial law. She joins DHHRM to uncover what this material evidence reveals about how genocide inscribes itself into the land, and how, with the right tools, we can still read it.
About the Speaker
Caroline Sturdy Colls, Ph.D., is a professor of Holocaust archaeology and genocide investigation, and director of the Centre of Archaeology at the University of Huddersfield in England. Sturdy Colls has overseen archaeological surveys at more than 60 Holocaust sites across Europe, and she has undertaken research related to genocide and mass violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Namibia, Colombia, and Cyprus. Her book Finding Treblinka: Forensic and Archaeological Perspectives, released in July 2026, outlines the results of her investigations at the death camp at Treblinka. In 2025-2026, she was the Ina Levine Invitational Scholarin- Residence at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
This program is presented in-person at the Museum. Registration includes a 6 p.m. reception followed by the 7 p.m. program.Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum300 N. Houston StreetDallas, TX 75202

Description:
Exploring the decades-long effort to recover masterpieces stolen from Jewish families during the Holocaust, career prosecutor and granddaughter of survivors, Adena Bernstein uncovers the hidden world of art looted during the Nazi era. She blends legal analysis, investigative reporting and personal stories to reveal how museums, governments and heirs confront the complex questions of ownership, justice and memory long after the war. Bernstein’s book reveals that the fight to recover stolen art is ultimately a fight to reclaim history, justice and the dignity of those the Holocaust sought to erase.

When the slogans are louder than the facts, evidence becomes a moral imperative.
Join the Aaron Family JCC for an evening of conversation with Judge Roy Altman and Joel Schwitzer - Regional Director AJC
In Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law, United States District Judge Roy K. Altman brings legal rigor to the world’s most contentious debate. Applying courtroom-tested standards—burden of proof, corroboration, chain of custody—he examines claims of colonialism, apartheid, and genocide with dispassionate precision.
In an era shaped by viral slogans and curated outrage, Judge Altman offers a disciplined method for discerning truth from propaganda. Through historical records, archaeological evidence, genetic data, and international law, Israel on Trial shows what it means to demand proof—and what’s at stake when we stop asking for it.

Description:
A long-buried family mystery, cherished recipes and a journey across generations culminate in this novel about memory, identity and resilience. Rooted in the author’s family history, this remarkable story confronts the realities of the Jewish post-WWII experience. Spanning decades and continents, it follows Zoe Rosenzweig, a woman determined to uncover the truth about her family’s past, and Chana Rosenzweig, a baker in 1946 Vienna. Through both Zoe and Chana’s perspectives, we explore how stories are passed down, the choices we make to keep those we love safe and how we can take control of our story.
Reception follows program.
