VIRTUAL PROGRAM GUIDE January - June 2021
A new year brings exciting new programming. This guide contains the lineup of events you’ve come to expect from the Museum, from the Funk Family Upstander Speaker Series and Civil Discourse Series, to our regular Movie Monday Film Discussions, iRead Book Clubs, History Highlights lectures, and more. We are especially proud to extend an invitation to the first two installments of this year’s Crucial Conversations series on confronting antisemitism. Through this series, we aim to foster an increased understanding of the origins and history of antisemitism. With antisemitism on the rise in the United States and around the world, this unfortunately is an apt topic to discuss. By convening a diverse group of experts to share their knowledge and experiences, we hope to identify concrete steps that can be taken to confront and disrupt antisemitism. We reopened our doors amidst the pandemic last August and are excited to continue to welcome guests safely. If you feel ready, we recommend a visit to our current special exhibition, The Fight for Civil Rights in the South, alongside our permanent exhibition. Now extended through May 31, 2021, this prestigious photography exhibition sheds a light on an important time in this country’s history, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. We also invite you to take advantage of the diverse array of program offerings outlined in this guide. We look forward to hosting you at the Museum in person or virtually at one of our programs. - Mary Pat Higgins, Museum President and CEO & Mark Zilbermann, Board Chair

Mohammed Al Samawi and Justin Hefter Thursday, March 11 at 7:00 pm CT In 2015, Mohammed Al Samawi, an interfaith activist from a Shiite Muslim background, found himself trapped in Aden, Yemen. The target of death threats from al-Qaeda squads, Al Samawi knew his life depended on escaping the city. That’s where Justin Hefter, along with three other young people in the U.S. and Israel, came in. Growing up in Yemen, Mohammed Al Samawi was raised to view Christians and Jews as his enemies. While he was a student at university, a trusted professor shared a copy of the Bible with him. It didn’t take long for Al Samawi to study the text and wonder if his hate was unjustified. He began connecting with young people of other religions on social media and attending interfaith conferences, where he met the people who would ultimately help save his life, including Justin Hefter. When Al Samawi’s life was at risk, Hefter and others reached out across social media platforms to politicians, activists, diplomats, and anyone else who might be able to help to secure Al Samawi’s safe passage out of Yemen and eventually to the United States. But the work did not end there. Both Al Samawi and Hefter continue their interfaith efforts today – Al Samawi as the founder of The Abrahamic House, a multifaith incubator with a mission to build sustainable interfaith learning and action, and Hefter as a co-founder of the AMEL Project, an organization that trains the next generation of human rights activists in countries across Africa and the Middle East. Join us for an inspiring conversation with two young men who are dedicated to bringing people together across lines of difference to promote dialogue, cooperation, and change.

The information provided in this session will lay the groundwork and serve as a point of entry for the conversations we will have throughout the series. SAVE THE DATE - Registration coming soon

HOLOCAUST EDUCATION SERIES
The Politics of Memory: Holocaust Distortion in Poland with Dr. Jan Grabowski Wednesday, February 24 at 7:00 pm CT Poland has long struggled to come to grips with its role in the Holocaust. Its 2018 law banning statements that accuse the Polish state and nation of complicity in Nazi crimes was just one act of many in its history of obscuring the participation of Polish collaborators in the murder of Jews. Dr. Jan Grabowski, a distinguished Holocaust historian, has been an outspoken critic of Poland’s distortion of history, subsequently facing harassment and even death threats. Join us for a discussion of the politics of Holocaust memory in Poland and the consequences of burying the past. Jan Grabowski is a Professor of History at the University of Ottawa and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. His interests focus on the Holocaust in Poland and, more specifically, on the relations between Jews and Poles during the war. Professor Grabowski’s book, Hunt for the Jews: Betrayal and Murder in German-Occupied Poland, was awarded the Yad Vashem International Book Prize for 2014. In 2020, Grabowski was appointed a Distinguished Fellow at the Institut für Zeitgeschichte in Munich, Germany. His most recent book, On Duty: The Role of the Polish “Blue” Police in the Holocaust, was published in Poland in March 2020. Generously supported by Julie Meetal Berman and Dr. Joseph M. Berman, MD, in memory of Les and Magda Mittelman.

2/16 - From Property to Personhood: The Evolution of Children’s Rights in the U.S. Children are one of the most vulnerable populations in the United States, often lacking independent access to resources and power. Their status in a number of areas, from labor and education to mental and physical wellbeing, has been in near constant flux over the course of our nation’s history. Join us for a discussion of the history and development of children’s rights in the U.S., as well as the status of children’s rights today.

4/29 - The Disappeared in Guatemala In the second half of the 20th century, Guatemala began to “disappear” its own citizens, a new stage in a long history of repressing its people. Over the course of three decades, military regimes in power forced the disappearance of political activists, opposition leaders, union leaders, and indigenous citizens, eventually culminating in the genocide of the Maya. Dr. Victoria Sanford, Professor of Anthropology at Lehman College and the Graduate Center, and Founding Director of the Lehman Center for Human Rights and Peace Studies, will trace the history of this brutal practice and show how it was instrumental in the perpetration of the genocide in Guatemala.

6/9 - The Christian Church in Nazi Germany In the 1930s, more than 95 percent of Germans belonged to a Christian church, a majority of which were Protestant. Join Dr. Rebecca Carter-Chand, Acting Director of the Programs on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, for a discussion of the Christian Church’s response to the rise of Nazism, particularly in the context of the long history of Christian anti-Judaism in Europe.

2/4 - A Journey for Justice: Freedom Rider Betty Daniels Rosemond In 1961, Betty Daniels Rosemond left college to join the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) as a Freedom Rider. This group of activists traveled on buses throughout the South to protest segregation and challenge the refusal to enforce laws that made segregation on buses illegal. Rosemond almost lost her life during a stop in Poplarville, Mississippi when a violent mob attempted to kidnap and threatened to lynch members of her group. A true Upstander, Mrs. Rosemond will share the story of her commitment to equal rights for African Americans and her courage in the face of virulent racism.

Four young girls were killed; Dale Long, who was eleven at the time, was among the survivors. Mr. Long will share his memories of this tragic act of hate, as well as his experiences as a young African American man in Birmingham and his commitment to living a life of service that honors friends who did not get the chance to grow up.

4/12 – Cult of Glory: The Bold and Brutal History of the Texas Rangers by Doug Swanson Countless movies, television shows, and pulp novels have celebrated the Texas Rangers as Wild West supermen, but the truth has often been obliterated. Swanson demonstrates how the Rangers and their supporters have operated a propaganda machine that turned agency disasters and misdeeds into fables of triumph, transformed murderous rampages–including the killing of scores of Mexican civilians and American Indians–into valorous feats, and elevated scoundrels to sainthood. Recommended for adults.
REGISTER HERE
6/14 – The Boy on the Wooden Box by Leon Leyson The only memoir published by a former Schindler’s list child, The Boy on the Wooden Box captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through the unthinkable. Leon Leyson was only ten years old when the Nazis invaded Poland and his family was forced to relocate to the Krakow ghetto. With incredible luck, perseverance, and grit, Leyson was able to survive the sadism of the Nazis. Ultimately, it was the generosity and cunning of one man, Oskar Schindler, that saved Leon Leyson’s life and the lives of his mother, father, and two of his four siblings. Recommended for 6th – 12th grade students and adults.
