Description:
As news of the rising Nazi threat reached Americans in the 1930s, the
United States was struggling with racism, antisemitism, and
anti-immigrant biases. In response, some religious leaders, members of
the Black press, and other bold Americans gathered momentum to condemn
Nazi persecution in Europe and racial discrimination in the United
States.
Join historians from the museum and George Mason University to learn
about the leaders who confronted hatred overseas and at home while
planting the seeds for the American civil rights movement.
SpeakerDr. Charles L. Chavis, Assistant Professor, Conflict Analysis, Resolution, and History, George Mason University
ModeratorDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Description:
This webinar is developed for an educator, university, and community member audience. It is not intended for middle/high school students.
One of the most influential theories about Holocaust perpetrators, set forth in the seminal book written by Christopher R. Browning, Ordinary Men (1993), highlights a diverse set of factors that led men - mostly not hardcore Nazis - to become mass murderers of Jews. Many have taken this idea to the extreme, claiming that any of us could become a perpetrator of genocide. Led by a historian from Yad Vashem, this lecture seeks to show that the people who became perpetrators of the Holocaust, many of them “ordinary”, were deeply influenced by the world in which they lived, the ideas that gained traction in their world, and the system that came into being under the Nazis. Any discussion of the perpetrators of the Holocaust must take into account the social, ideological and political contexts in which the crimes were committed.Register here.

Description:
Polish-born artist Arthur Szyk was alarmed by the Nazi threat and used his pen and paper to call public attention to the persecution of Europe’s Jews. He depicted Hitler and the Axis powers as global menaces and drew sympathetic portrayals of the victims of their brutality.
