Description:
On January 20, 1942, leaders from the Nazi Party and the German
government met at a picturesque villa on the outskirts of Berlin to plan
the last phase of the Final Solution, a Nazi euphemism for the
annihilation of European Jewry. Since June 1941, mobile killing squads
had taken part in the mass murder of Jews in the East. However, the
Wannsee Conference paved the way for the large-scale deportation of
Europe’s Jews to the death camps in Poland. Join Matthias Hass, head of
the education and research department and the deputy director of the
House of the Wannsee Conference Memorial Site and Education Center, for a
discussion of the impact of this conference on the course of the
Holocaust.
This program is part of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum's Permanent Exhibition Highlight Series. Please register for one ticket per device used. This virtual event will take place on the online platform
Zoom. A link to join will be sent to registered guests via email one
hour before the start of the program.

Description:
The Ghetto Fighters' House invites you to the second program in the series Rethinking the 'Final Solution' and the Wannsee Conference 80 Years Later.
The Bełżec Death Camp was the first of the three Operation Reinhard
camps. As the first camp, Bełżec served as the prototype for the two
subsequent camps, Sobibór and Treblinka. Bełżec has been called the
"forgotten camp". One of the main reasons is that only three Jews
survived. Two gave testimony about their experience at Bełżec immediately after the war, and one of them was murdered right after
giving his testimony.
Chris Webb is one of the only researchers in the world that has
extensively investigated the unique story behind the Bełżec Death Camp.
During his talk, he will present sources that were discovered in recent
years and help us to better understand how the camp where over half a
million Jews were killed actually operated. Tali Nates, Director of the
Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Center, will share her family’s
Holocaust history, their life in Nowy Targ before the war and their fate
during Nazi occupation. Drawing on documents, family photos,
testimonies and more, she will explore the story of one family who was
murdered in Bełżec.
Guest SpeakersChris Webb, Research Associate for the Centre of Fascist, Anti-Fascists and Post Fascists Studies at Teesside University.
Tali Nates, Historian and founder and director of the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre and Chair of the South African Holocaust & Genocide

This program is in partnership with Liberation 75, Remember the Women Institute, the Rabin Chair Forum, Classrooms Without Borders, the House of the Wannsee Conference Memorial and Educational Site, and the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Center.

Description:
Jazz musician Freddy Johnson refused to let
racism in America stall his career. He embraced opportunities throughout
Europe until the United States entered the war and he and other
Americans were arrested. At the Tittmoning internment camp, Johnson
continued to play music and met Black portrait artist Josef Nassy, who
depicted their daily life as prisoners.
Life was even more precarious for Black German artists. While Bayume
Mohamed Husen once acted in a Nazi propaganda film, he was eventually
arrested for violating Nazi racial laws and died in the Sachsenhausen
concentration camp. Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum during Black History Month to learn about
artists’ experiences in Nazi Germany.

Description:
Join Dr. Alexandra Lohse for a brief overview of the Nazi concentration camp universe consisting of more than 40,000 sites operated by the Nazi regime and its allies, an almost incomprehensible number that challenges our understanding of the nature, ubiquity, and visibility of Nazi persecution. Using perpetrator documentation as well as survivor and eyewitness testimonies and memoirs, her talk will illuminate the dynamic nature and function of some of these sites while illustrating paths of persecution that many victims suffered there between 1933 and 1945. Dr. Lohse is the Applied Research Scholar Team Lead at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Description:
In her book, Dr. Baer examines the threads of shared ideology in the Herero and Nama genocide and the Holocaust. Using concepts such as racial hierarchies, living space, and the final solution that were deployed by German authorities in 1904 and again in the 1930s and 1940s to justify genocide. The Genocidal Gaze is an original and challenging discussion of such contemporary issues as colonial practices, European and African race relations, definitions of genocide, and postcolonial theory.
This event will be moderated by Dr. Jeff Benvenuto from Gratz College. The Institute of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Raritan Valley Community College is pleased to present this event along with The Mercer Holocaust, Genocide & Human Rights Education Center at Mercer County Community College.

Join Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio virtually as they discuss Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankel.
Viktor Frankel’s memoir has riveted readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. Published in 1946, it continues to inspire all to find significance in the very act of living.

prisoners when we would see our families,” Irene remembers. “A woman
pointed to the chimney and said, ‘Do you see the smoke? There is your
family.’”During this live conversation, hear Irene’s personal
story of survival as a teen in Hungary and what happened to her large
family during the Holocaust.

Description:
Join the United Nations Outreach Programme on the Holocaust for a conversation about the film The Last Survivors directed by Arthur Cary. It gathers together the compelling and, in some cases, never-before-heard testimony from Holocaust survivors living in Britain today. All of these extraordinary people were children during the Holocaust, but now in their later years, they reflect on their experiences with a different perspective and understanding of how this past trauma permeates through to their contemporary lives with increased significance.
