July - December 2021 Program Guide - Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum by DHHRM

PROGRAM GUIDE July - December 2021

As we enter the second half of 2021, we are excited to bring you a wonderful new lineup of educational programming. Alongside our signature programs, such as the Funk Family Upstander Speaker Series and the Civil Discourse Series, we will offer a deeper look into our permanent exhibition as well as new programs presented in conjunction with our current special exhibition, The Book Smugglers, and discussions on Holocaust and human rights-related films and books. Additionally, we are thrilled to share that we will present some of our programs in person beginning this fall. After approximately a year and a half of exclusively virtual programming, we look forward to welcoming program attendees back to the Museum. We will still host many of our programs online but are excited to once again experience some of our esteemed speakers face-to-face. When we shifted our programming to an online platform, we received unwavering support from Members and guests alike. It is because of supporters like you that we were able to navigate the obstacles of the pandemic and continue to spread our mission to teach the history of the Holocaust and advance human rights to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference. Thank you for helping us inspire and educate our community. We hope to see you in person or virtually at one of our many upcoming programs, and we look forward to welcoming you as you explore our Museum’s permanent and special exhibitions. - Mary Pat Higgins, Museum President and CEO & Mark Zilbermann, Board Chair

Eli Rosenbaum is the longest-serving prosecutor and investigator of Nazi criminals and other perpetrators of human rights violations in world history. Under his leadership, the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations (OSI) gained a reputation as the most aggressive and effective Nazi hunting organization in the world, exposing Nazi war criminals living in the United States. Over the last decade, Rosenbaum has continued to pursue perpetrators of World War II-era war crimes, trying cases in this area as recently as March 2020, and investigating and prosecuting modern human rights cases. Join us for a unique look inside the Justice Department’s hunt for and prosecution of human rights violators.

MARGUERITE BARANKITSE HYBRID | Thursday, November 11 at 7:00 p.m. CT

PRESENTING SPONSOR

During the Burundian Civil War in 1993, Marguerite Barankitse, a Tutsi, attempted to prevent the murder of 72 Hutus who were hiding in a Ruyigi diocese. She was forced to watch as they were killed. Spared due to her Tutsi heritage, Barankitse managed to save her own adopted children and 25 of the victims’ children. In May 1994, she officially formed the organization Maison Shalom, or “House of Peace.” The organization gives dignity back to orphans and other children in need through education, vocational training, and psychological and economic support.

CRUCIAL CONVERSATIONS: CONFRONTING ANTISEMITISM Join the Museum for a four-part series on antisemitism. Through these public programs, we aim to foster an increased understanding of the origins and history of antisemitism, to discuss the recent increase in antisemitism globally and in the United States, and to identify concrete steps that can be taken to confront and disrupt antisemitism. For these sessions, we will convene a diverse group of experts to share their knowledge, experiences, and ideas.

Session 3: Global Antisemitism VIRTUAL | Thursday, July 1 at 7:00 p.m. CT In the third session of this series, we will expand our geographic scope and look at antisemitism on a global scale, with a particular focus on antisemitism in Europe. In the past two decades, there has been a distinct increase in antisemitic rhetoric from governments and political parties, in the destruction of Jewish cemeteries, and in violent antisemitic attacks. Who is participating in the rise of global antisemitism, what accounts for it, and what can we expect to see in the future?

WATCH NOW Session 4: Combating Antisemitism VIRTUAL | Thursday, August 5 at 7:00 p.m. CT In the final session of this series, we will discuss concrete strategies to combat antisemitism. Building on the foundation of history, knowledge, and understanding developed during the series, this session will serve as a call to action for all of us to engage in this work.

Mark Jacobs is the son of Holocaust Survivor Mike Jacobs, Z”L. Mike was born in Poland in 1925. In 1939, he and his family were confined in the Ostrowiec ghetto. Most of his family, including his parents, two brothers, and two sisters, were ultimately murdered at Treblinka Death Camp.

Max survived several different camps before being liberated from a death march by the U.S. Army. Max eventually settled in Dallas, Texas where he lives today.

Julie Meetal Berman, Second Generation Survivor Julie Meetal Berman is the daughter of Holocaust Survivors Magda and Les Mittelman, Z”L. Magda and Les were born in Hungary in 1923 and 1919, respectively.

Magda and her family were confined to a ghetto before being sent to Auschwitz. She was ultimately liberated in Germany.

WATCH 7/27

WATCH 7/20

Bert Romberg, Kindertransportee Bert Romberg was born in Astheim, Germany in 1930. When Bert was eight years old, his mother made arrangements for the family to escape to England by obtaining a visa for herself and securing spots for Bert and his sister Magie on the Kindertransport, a rescue mission that allowed thousands of Jewish children to live with private English citizens.

Magie Furst, Kindertransportee Magie Furst was born in Astheim, Germany in 1929. In 1938, her mother made arrangements for the family to escape to England by obtaining a visa for herself and securing spots for Magie and her brother Bert on the Kindertransport, a rescue mission that allowed thousands of Jewish children to live with private English citizens.

SPECIAL EXHIBITION PROGRAMS Presented in conjunction with our current special exhibition, The Book Smugglers: Partisans, Poets, and the Race to Save Jewish Treasures from the Nazis.

Robbing the Jews: Nazi Confiscation of Property in the Holocaust VIRTUAL | Wednesday, September 1 at 7:00 p.m. CT Before and during World War II, the Nazis engaged in an organized program of looting of Jewish cultural objects, often using forced Jewish labor to catalog the stolen items. Join Dr. Martin Dean as he examines the Nazi policy of cultural plunder, including its aims and methods, and shows how Jews sought to defy the Germans’ genocidal intentions through imaginative forms of cultural resistance.

Secrets of the Great Synagogue of Vilna: The Rest of the Story HYBRID | Monday, November 1 at 7:00 p.m. CT The Great Synagogue of Vilna, Lithuania contained one of the world’s great Jewish libraries, the Strashun Library. The contents of the Strashun Library were a main target of the Nazis’ looting of Jewish cultural objects, and Jews were brought from the Vilna Ghetto to identify the significant books. These members of the “Paper Brigade” risked their lives to rescue books from the Nazis. Many of these items were salvaged after World War II, but tens of thousands of artifacts remained buried in the ruins of the Great Synagogue. Dr. Richard Freund and his team of geoscientists are excavating the site, which was discovered under an elementary school in downtown Vilna. Join Dr. Freund for an exclusive look at what his team has discovered, including the remains of the Strashun Library.

PERMANENT EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHT SERIES The Permanent Exhibition Highlight Series expands upon different topics and themes featured in the Museum’s permanent exhibition.

Tainted Games: The Role of Race and Racism in the Berlin Olympics of 1936 VIRTUAL | Tuesday, August 24 at 7:00 p.m. CT Ideas and practices rooted in racial prejudice have been part of the modern Olympic Games since their inception in the late 19th century, but never more prominently than in the 1936 Summer Games held in Nazi-ruled Berlin. Here, antisemitism and anti-Black racism combined to produce an especially toxic brew. Going beyond the familiar (though often misconstrued) experiences of African-American Jesse Owens and Jewish-American Marty Glickman, David Clay Large, author of Nazi Games: The Olympics of 1936, will examine how racial politics and theories of race defined all aspects of the 1936 Olympics. These “Tainted Games” generated a complex legacy with which we are still grappling today.

WATCH NOW

Women in Genocide VIRTUAL | Thursday, October 21 at 7:00 p.m. CT The facts of modern genocides have been well-documented, but how do women experience genocide differently than men? From the types of violence inflicted upon women to how they participate as perpetrators to their struggle for justice, examining the unique impact of genocide on women helps us better understand dynamics of mass violence. Join us for a discussion on the experiences of women in genocide as victims, perpetrators, and survivors.

HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS LECTURE SERIES The History Highlights Lecture Series features Holocaust and human rights topics presented by Museum historians and educators.

Holocaust Denial VIRTUAL | Thursday, July 22 at 7:00 p.m. CT Despite being one of the best documented genocides in history, many have attempted to distort facts about the Holocaust or deny that it occurred. Perpetrators began to deny the Holocaust even as it was still happening, and denial continues to this day. Join Dr. Sara Abosch-Jacobson, Barbara Rabin Chief Education Officer, and Dr. Charlotte Decoster, Ackerman Family Director of Education, to explore the history of Holocaust denial, the forms it takes, and the impact of denial.

WATCH NOW The Power of Voice VIRTUAL | Thursday, September 30 at 7:00 p.m. CT The United States was founded on a lofty ideal: all men are created equal. But because the reality often did not match the ideal, many groups had to fight for equality in law and in practice. In Texas, civil rights champions were often on the margins of society, but risked everything to have their voices heard. Join Dr. Charlotte Decoster, Ackerman Family Director of Education at the Museum, for a discussion of three women who stood up and spoke out against oppression in Texas: Juanita Craft, Jovita Idár, and Barbara Jordan.

REGISTER HERE Remembering Kristallnacht VIRTUAL | Thursday, November 4 at 7:00 p.m. CT On November 9 and 10, 1938, Nazi leaders executed a campaign of violence and destruction against Jews in Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia. Though Jews were ostracized and stripped of their rights beginning in 1933, Kristallnacht, or “Night of Broken Glass,” was the first instance of Nazi-organized mass violence and arrest directed at the Jews. Join Dr. Sara Abosch-Jacobson, Barbara Rabin Chief Education Officer, and Felicia Williamson, Director of Library and Archives, for a discussion of Kristallnacht and its aftermath and a presentation of related artifacts in the Museum’s collection.

LUNCH & LEARN SERIES The Museum’s Lunch & Learn Series features quarterly programs on Holocaust history and human rights topics in an informal setting to encourage questions and discussion.

The Rise and Fall of Dallas’ Little Mexico VIRTUAL | Thursday, September 9 at 12:00 p.m. CT In the middle of the 20th century, the Little Mexico neighborhood in what is now Uptown Dallas was thriving. Bolstered by the social displacement created by the Mexican Revolution in 1910 and officially deemed “Little Mexico” in 1919, this distinct and vibrant area was home to thousands of Mexican immigrants who came to Dallas for jobs in factories, agriculture, and the railroads. After peaking in the 1960s, the neighborhood began to decline as the area was cleared for construction projects and redevelopment. By the end of the 20th century, Little Mexico had all but disappeared amidst the high rises, hotels, and office towers of Uptown. Join Sol Villasana, attorney and author of Dallas’ Little Mexico, for a discussion of the neighborhood’s growth, renaissance, demise, and transition.

Highlights from the Archives: The 1936 Olympics IN-PERSON ONLY | Thursday, December 2 at 12:00 p.m. CT In 1936, a recent college graduate set out from the United States for a whirlwind trip to Europe, including a stop at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. An amateur photographer, Albert Carl Michaelis, Jr. could not have known at the time how significant and telling his photographs of these historic games would be. Join Felicia Williamson, Director of Library and Archives, and Robynn Amaba, Assistant Archivist, for an exclusive look at Michaelis’ photographs and negatives housed in the Museum’s collection.

iREAD BOOK CLUB Join us for a book club led by Museum historians and educators. Recommended for adults.

The Book Smugglers: Partisans, Poets, and the Race to Save Jewish Treasures from the Nazis by David Fishman HYBRID | Monday, October 11 at 1:00 p.m. CT The Book Smugglers is the nearly unbelievable story of residents of the Vilna Ghetto during the Holocaust who rescued thousands of rare books and manuscripts―first from the Nazis and then from the Soviets―by hiding them on their bodies, burying them in bunkers, and smuggling them across borders. It is a tale of heroism and resistance, of friendship and romance, and of unwavering devotion― including the readiness to risk one’s life―to literature and art.

The Ravine: A Family, a Photograph, a Holocaust Massacre Revealed by Wendy Lower HYBRID | Monday, December 13 at 1:00 p.m. CT In 2009, Wendy Lower saw a photograph just brought to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The image showed the murder of a Jewish family at the hands of German officials and Ukrainian collaborators during the Holocaust. The Ravine follows Lower’s forensic and archival journey to recover astonishing layers of detail concerning the open-air massacres in Ukraine, including a new understanding of the place of the family unit in the ideology of Nazi genocide.

MOVIE MONDAYS Join us for a discussion on Holocaust and human rights films moderated by Museum historians, film professionals, and other experts. Participants will watch the film on their own before engaging in the discussion.

Glory Road VIRTUAL | Monday, July 12 at 7:00 p.m. CT In 1966, Coach Don Haskins of Texas Western University bucks convention by simply starting the best players he can find, ultimately creating the first all-African American lineup in the history of college basketball. In a turbulent time of social and political change, their unlikely success sends shockwaves through the sport. Participants will watch the film on their own before engaging in the discussion.

Operation Finale VIRTUAL | Monday, September 13 at 7:00 p.m. CT Fifteen years after the end of World War II, a team of top-secret Israeli agents travels to Argentina to track down Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi officer who masterminded the transportation logistics that brought millions of innocent Jews to the death camps. Hoping to sneak him out of the country to stand trial, agent Peter Malkin soon finds himself playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with the notorious war criminal. Participants will watch the film on their own before engaging in the discussion.

REGISTER HERE Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution VIRTUAL | Monday, November 15 at 7:00 p.m. CT In the early 1970s, teenagers with disabilities faced a future shaped by isolation, discrimination, and institutionalization. Camp Jened, a ramshackle camp “for the handicapped” in the Catskills, exploded those confines. Jened was their freewheeling Utopia, a place where campers felt fulfilled as human beings. Their bonds endured as they migrated west to Berkeley, California - a promised land for a growing and diverse disability community - where friends from Camp Jened realized that disruption and unity might secure lifechanging accessibility for millions. Participants will watch the film on their own before engaging in the discussion.

Preserving Family Memories Workshop IN-PERSON ONLY | Sunday, October 17 at 2:00 p.m. CT Whether in the attic or boxes under the bed, most of us have family heirlooms, photographs, letters, and artifacts that are important to us. Preserving these precious items is a challenge and can be expensive. Led by Felicia Williamson, Director of Library and Archives, this workshop will provide common sense solutions to the most frequent challenges of home preservation.

Homeschool Days HYBRID | Tuesday, September 14 at 9:30 a.m. CT HYBRID | Monday, October 4 at 9:30 a.m. CT Join the Education Staff of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum for a day of learning for homeschool students!

The Genocide of the Uyghurs in China VIRTUAL | Thursday, July 8 at 7:00 p.m. CT In Xinjiang, a region in northwestern China, the Uyghur population is in peril. In recent years, the Chinese government has targeted the Uyghurs, a mostly Muslim ethnic group, in a genocidal campaign, arbitrarily imprisoning more than one million people in internment camps and subjecting others to surveillance, forced labor, and sterilization. Join us for a discussion of the history of persecution of the Uyghurs in China, the conditions they currently face under a repressive regime, and the global response to the genocide.

CANDY AND IKE BROWN | EVENT CHAIRS Join us for this beloved annual event when we honor our local Holocaust Survivors – Upstanders of yesterday and today. It is almost impossible to imagine having the strength to move forward after the horrors of the Holocaust; yet here they are, serving as our beacons of hope for humanity. This year, we pay tribute to one of our own - Max Glauben. At the time of liberation, Max was a 17-year-old orphan who witnessed and survived the unimaginable, including the murder of his family and the brutalities of five different concentration camps. He has dedicated his life to honoring his family’s memory and that of the other six million Jewish victims by sharing his Holocaust story through the lens of compassion, empathy, and resilience.

This is a fundraiser event benefitting the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

WOULD YOU RISK YOUR LIFE TO SAVE A BOOK?

On view through January 2, 2022 “Would you risk your life to save a book?” That is the underlying question of The Book Smugglers: Partisans, Poets, and the Race to Save Jewish Treasures from the Nazis, on view June 23, 2021 through January 2, 2022 at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. The Book Smugglers is the nearly unbelievable true story of ghetto residents who rescued thousands of rare books and manuscripts by hiding them on their persons, burying them in bunkers, and smuggling them across borders. Set in Vilna, Lithuania, known as the “Jerusalem of Lithuania” for its Jewish culture rich with art, music, literature, poetry, theater, and opera, a small group of partisans and poets risked everything to save Jewish cultural treasures. Prior to WWII, literature and art enabled Vilna residents to rise above their everyday persecution. When Vilna’s Jews were forced into the ghetto, the “Paper Brigade” was formed by a group of 40 intellectuals, writers, educators, and activists to save Judaica for the next generation. Together, they rescued Jewish artifacts, books, photographs, works of art, diaries, and literature from the Nazis by smuggling them into the ghetto or hiding them in plain sight. The Book Smugglers: Partisans, Poets and the Race to Save Jewish Treasures from the Nazis is curated by Holocaust Museum Houston based on the book by David E. Fishman.
