Description:
The 1492 edict expelled the Jews following more than 1,000 years of life on the Iberian peninsula.
We will explore the events surrounding this infamous chapter in Spanish history and the events of the next several centuries (the late Middle Ages and Early Modern times) as the Jews resumed their role as a dispersed nomadic people.
We will delve into the ways in which Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews were forced to interact as well as the integration and anti-Semitism Jews encountered living amongst the various new lands in which they settled.
Open to the Community – RSVP’s requested.

Description:
Between 1940-1945 the sheer luck of where you were living made a world of difference to the Jews of Scandinavia. For unique political and geographic reasons, the Scandinavian Jews of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark had very different experiences. During the German occupation, Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. Defying the occupying German forces, and protecting fellow citizens, spontaneous and dramatic rescue operations were conducted to save thousands of Jewish lives. First hand personal accounts also convey the extraordinary ways Swedish diplomats leveraged their political position to save Jews from within Hungary and Germany.
Join us for a screening of the film followed by a talkback with Director Suzannah Warlick.

Description:
Hunger, the proverbial wolf at the door, is a universal experience. Eating may keep the beast at bay but it doesn’t tame it; calories alone can nourish the body, but not the mind and soul. For many with PTSD, including Holocaust survivors, food can be an incomplete escape into a more stable life. In How to Share an Egg—a narrative that interweaves the author’s own story with that of her Holocaust-survivor father, Saul — Bonny Reichert explores how identity and trauma can be preserved and transmuted across generations. Saul’s memories of suffering and sustenance feed Reichert’s hunger for understanding, tikkun (repair), and healing.
This book begins in 1945 with Saul on the brink of starvation after his recent liberation from the Flossenbürg concentration camp (preceded by imprisonment in the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and Sachsenhausen). This moment anchors the intergenerational trauma that Bonny explores throughout this book. Although her childhood in Edmonton, Canada could be described as genial, that would deny the profound darkness that she struggles with.
Author Bonny Reichert will join us via zoom.
Sponsored by the Barshop JCC and Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio

Description:
Directed by Michel Hazanavicius
Animation | 81 minutes | French, Russian, German with English subtitles
Striking watercolor backgrounds convey the harsh landscape beauty in this animated film about a baby thrown from a train bound for Auschwitz and found in the snow by a childless woodcutter’s wife. The child transforms the lives of her adoptive parents, despite the threatening danger from the “hunters of the heartless,” the antisemites. Almost silently, the film merges fairytale elements with the reality of the Holocaust, revealing both horror and humanity.

Directed by Charlie Chaplin
Satire | 125 minutes | English
The Great Dictator was Charlie Chaplin's first talkie—a bold, satirical attack on Hitler and fascism, years before the United States entered World War II. Chaplin used humor and his uncanny resemblance to Hitler to expose the tyranny and repression. Chaplin produced the film himself after studios warned that it would never be shown in the UK or the US; it was later nominated for five Academy Awards. This work of resistance is a powerful plea for democracy and humanity and remains highly relevant today.

Description:
Sons of Survivors, written by Aron Hirt-Manheimer and Marty Yura is a dual memoir that traces the colorful growing-up adventures of two sons of survivors through fast-paced alternating passages. Though the Holocaust formed the backdrop of their lives, it was only as older adults that they set out to try to piece together what happened to their families during the war -- and to bear witness.
For Aron, the most powerful revelations were contained in a nearly forgotten memoir written by his uncle fifty years earlier in Argentina. Marty’s breakthrough came after participating in a Zen Peacemakers immersion retreat on the killing fields of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Navigating through this haunted terrain together, the friends realized that the love they inherited from their parents transcends the trauma. Their joint memoir attests to a legacy of love against hate.
Hirt-Manheimer and Yura will be in conversation about their book with Dr. Michael Berenbaum.
