SUMMARY:Conversation with a Survivor
DESCRIPTION:November 9\, 2018 marked the 80th anniversary of the November Pogrom known as Kristallnacht. During the November Pogrom\, Nazi thugs went through the streets of Germany and\, in plain view\, set synagogues on fire\, smashed the window fronts of Jewish businesses\, attacked Jewish people and vandalized their apartments. Houston Holocaust survivor\, Ruth Steinfeld experienced the November Pogrom first hand. Ruth and her sister Lea lived in Sinsheim\, Germany when Hitler came to power. The family was deported to the Gurs interment camp in 1940\, and their mother was faced with a very difficult decision: to let a Jewish philanthropic organization called Oeuvres de Secours aux Enfants (OSE) take her daughters to safety\, or keep them with her. Ruth and her sister’s lives were forever altered after that moment. \nHolocaust Museum Houston’s young professional group\, NEXTGen\, is honored to have Ruth Steinfeld share her story at NEXTGen’s Conversation with a Survivor. This annual event gives young professionals the opportunity to meet Holocaust survivors living in the Houston area and learn through firsthand accounts the dangers of hatred\, prejudice and apathy. This special event is in collaboration with the Museum’s current traveling exhibition\, In the Country of Numbers\, where the men have no names\, on view through May 2019. \nCookies for the event are generously donated by SMOOSH Cookies.

SUMMARY:From Out of the Shadows: Latino Holocaust Liberators of World War II
DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston for a lecture by Dr. Jesus Jesse Esparza in which he highlights the experience of several WWII Latino soldiers from the Houston area who contributed to the Allied victory and who played a role also in ending one of the most heinous and atrocious crimes against humanity\, the Holocaust. \nWhen the United States entered World War II\, an estimated 16 million persons would serve the Armed Forces; among them were nearly half a million Latinos. On the eve of war\, most Latinos had incomes that were underneath poverty level\, lived with entrenched segregation\, suffered from housing and work discrimination\, had little access to health care\, and were offered few educational opportunities. Despite these setbacks\, Latinos would serve in every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and participate in every campaign of this conflict. From the beach invasions in North Africa to the storming of Normandy\, France; Latinos were present. From the island-hopping campaigns in the Pacific to serving in wartime defense industries states-side or for the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corp; Latinos were present. \nThe Latino soldier is distinguished as achieving the most decorations on the battlefield than any other ethno-racial group involved in this conflict. Yet\, lost with the history of World War II are the experiences and accomplishments of the Latino soldier. While a growing scholarship exists on the roles Latinos played in the war\, much work is still needed to fill that void. \nDr. Jesus Jesse Esparza is an Assistant professor of History in the College of Liberal Arts and Behavioral Sciences at Texas Southern University\, where he taught since 2009. His area of expertise is on the history of Latinos in the United States with an emphasis on civil rights activism. Dr. Esparza is currently working on a manuscript entitled Raza Schools: Latino Educational Autonomy and Activism in Texas\, 1920-1980 which offers a multiracial narrative of a Latino-owned school district in west Texas since the end of the First World War through the post-civil rights era. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, but advance registration is required.

SUMMARY:Intergenerational Trauma & Memory: History Carried Through Generations Lecture Series - Public Lecture with Dr. Christopher Carmona
DESCRIPTION:Join HMH for an evening with Dr. Christopher Carmona in the first lecture of the Spring 2018 Lecture Series\, Intergenerational Trauma & Memory: History Carried Through Generations\, in correlation with the South Texas Human Rights Art Exhibition and Holocaust Museum Houston’s Latino Initiatives Advisory Committee (LIAC). \nDr. Carmona is an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing and the coordinator of Mexican American Studies for the Brownsville Campus of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He is a member of the Ad Hoc Committee for the TX State Board of Education for Mexican American Studies. Currently\, he serves as the Chair of the National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies (NACCS) Tejas Foco Committee on Implementing Mexican American Studies (MAS) in PreK-12 Education in Texas. \nDr. Carmona will discuss writing about trauma passed down through oral stories and how he was able to create a superhero story that not only challenges the narrative of ‘American Exceptionalism\,’ but also questions how we think about memory and reality. Currently\, he is working on a series of YA novellas reimagining the “Lone Ranger” story as a Chicanx superhero fighting Texas Rangers in the Rio Grande Valley from 1905-1920. In the writing of “El Rinche: The Ghost Ranger of Rio Grande\,” Carmona “flips the script” on the Lone Ranger story by creating a Chicano superhero that disguises himself as a Texas Ranger (rinche) and fights the injustices of the rinches. Rinche is a Spanish slang word used to describe a Texas Ranger. \nDr. Carmona’s new bilingual book of poetry entitled “140: Twitter Poems” was published by Jade Press in 2017. Book One of “El Rinche: The Ghost Ranger of the Rio Grande” will be published in late 2018. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited\, and advance registration is requested. To RSVP online\, visit www.hmh.org/RegisterEvent.aspx.

SUMMARY:“The Soap Myth”
DESCRIPTION:This film version of the play\, “The Soap Myth\,” is an interesting story that provokes discussion. More than a half-century after World War II at the desperate urging of a passionate survivor\, a young investigative reporter finds herself caught between numerous versions of the same story. Played out against the backdrop of deadline reporting and journalistic integrity\, the critically acclaimed “The Soap Myth” by Jeff Cohen questions who has the right to write history — those people who have lived it and remember\, those who study and protect it or those who would seek to distort its very existence? And finally what is all our responsibility once we know the truth? Arnold Mittelman\, the producing artistic director\, will introduce the film and take questions afterward. He is the president and producing artistic director of the not-for-profit National Jewish Theater/Foundation\, which celebrates the cultural significance of Jewish history and the creativity of Jewish American composers\, lyricists\, playwrights and performers. Tickets are $5 for HMH members\, seniors and students and $8 for nonmembers. Seating is limited\, and advance registration is requested. To RSVP online\, visit www.hmh.org/RegisterEvent.aspx.
