Description:
Max Friedman is the son of two Holocaust survivors who met after their liberation from Bergen-Belsen, and who had lost everyone and everything they knew and loved. Max spent most of his life avoiding his past, and his parents rarely spoke about their experiences; but every day, he witnessed the trauma of their survival. Later in life, a question from Max's eight-year-old grandson convinced him that he had to learn more about what his parents lived through. After five years of discovery, the result was his book Painful Joy: A Holocaust Family Memoir.
During this webinar, Max, now 74 years old, will tell the personal story of his own family. Join Max as he shares his journey, one which is often heartbreaking—but also heartwarming. With the alarming growth of antisemitism, racism, and authoritarianism in the world, Max feels it is more important than ever to share his story and the lessons learned about resilience, survival, and the dire consequences of hate.

Description:
The Catholic Church and in particular, Pope Pius XII, have faced intense scrutiny for their actions, and inaction during the Holocaust. With the opening of the Vatican Archives, new information continues to be uncovered of the role the Catholic Church played in protecting Christians, rescuing Jews, and appeasing the Nazis during the Second World War. Using the famous Christmas Message of 1942 by Pope Pius XII as a guide, join Jesse Tannetta, Director of Holocaust Content & Pedagogy, to examine the role of the Church during the Holocaust to empower students to reflect on the connection between faith, morals, and action.

Description:
HMMSA is excited to offer an in-person free workshop this year in preparation for Texas Holocaust Remembrance Week. Educators are invited to join us in critically analyzing the survivor testimony of Rose Williams to create a snapshot moment using reading, history, science, math, and art! This workshop brings together all corners of the campus to create a visual storytelling animation of a pivotal moment in Rose's testimony.
Educators who attend will leave with the tools, template, and most important, hands-on experience, in creating animated visual stories to confidently implement in their own classrooms or with the help of other departments on campus. All supplies for the workshop are included but are easy to replicate utilizing materials you can find in or around the classroom.
Join at:
The Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio
12500 NW Military Highway San Antonio, Texas 78231
