SUMMARY:The Golem Legend and Holocaust Memory
DESCRIPTION:Rabbi Joshua R. S. Fixler \nThere are many Jewish legends about the golem – a creature formed from clay and brought to life using mystical knowledge to serve the Jewish community. Often the golem is portrayed protecting the Jews from pogroms and blood libels. Since the Holocaust\, many artists and authors have wrestled with the golem’s legacy. Where was this mythic protector when the Jews needed it the most? Inspired by this season of creepy creatures\, Rabbi Josh Fixler of Congregation Emanu El will introduce us to the golem legend and explore the unique ways the golem is imagined in post-Holocaust art and fiction. \nRabbi Joshua R. S. Fixler serves as Associate Rabbi at Congregation Emanu El in Houston. He is the president of the Houston Faith Leaders Coalition\, a board member of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice and the Houston Rabbinical Association\, and a member of the steering committee for the Texas Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC-TX). Rabbi Fixler was ordained at the Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) in May 2017. While in rabbinical school\, Rabbi Fixler was a Wexner Graduate Fellow and a Bonnie and Daniel Tisch Rabbinical Fellow. During his time at HUC-JIR\, Joshua also completed an Advanced Professional Certificate in Management for Public & Nonprofit Organizations at New York University. \nPublic programs at Holocaust Museum Houston are presented by Memorial Hermann. \n			\n				Get Tickets

SUMMARY:The New Red Book: A Guide to 50 of Houston’s Black Historical and Cultural Sites
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dr. Lindsay Gary \nThe New Red Book: A Guide to 50 of Houston’s Black Historical and Cultural Sites (2022) by Dr. Lindsay Gary highlights the history of Houston through the perspective of place - 50 cultural organizations and sites created and sustained by African Americans. It documents little-known histories of the Almeda Post Office\, the site of the first non-violent civil rights demonstration in the city\, as well as pop culture destinations such as Frenchy’s Creole Kitchen and Screwed Up Records and Tapes. The title pays tribute to the original 1915 publication The Red Book of Houston: A Compendium of Social\, Professional\, Religious\, Education and Industrial Interests of Houston’s Colored Population\, recognized by researchers as one of a kind for its detailed description of African American success in the South during a time of social and political upheaval. It takes readers on a rich and compelling journey through the histories of Houston\, the region\, and African American culture. \nThis presentation will explore the research methods and practices used to create The New Red Book\, in addition to challenges that were faced and the impact of the publication. In conversation with its historical implications\, it will discuss its connection to The Red Book of 1915 and the role texts have played in the past and can play the future in preserving the legacy of Black historical and cultural sites. \nDr. Lindsay Gary (PhD\, MFA\, MA\, MPA) is a professor-scholar\, conceptual diasporArtist\, and Afrocentric entrepreneur whose mission is to educate\, connect\, and empower the African Diaspora. She graduated from the University of Houston with a BA in History and minors in Dance and Business Administration\, and later obtained her Graduate Certificate in African American Studies. She also has an MA in History\, an MPA in Public Policy\, and an MFA in Dance\, and recently obtained her PhD in Africology and African American Studies from Temple University. Gary is an adjunct professor of African American Studies at the University of Houston and of History at Houston Community College\, in addition to being the Executive Director of The Re-Education Project (501c3)\, the Artistic and Executive Director of Dance Afrikana LLC\, Co-Director of Ade Ile Properties (Nigeria)\, and the CEO of Isegun Enterprises LLC (home of Sawari Tours\, Afrikanah Book Club\, Gumbo: The Podcast\, and more). She is the author of The New Red Book: A Guide to 50 of Houston’s Black Historical and Cultural Sites\, and the director and creator of “Who Yo’ People?”\, a documentary film that explores the African heritage of Louisiana. \nPublic programs at Holocaust Museum Houston are presented by Memorial Hermann.

SUMMARY:Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America's Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, historian Dr. Rebecca Erbelding pieces together years of research and newly uncovered archival materials to tell the dramatic story of America’s little-known efforts to save the Jews of Europe. \nRebecca Erbelding is the author of Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America’s Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe\, which won the JDC-Herbert Katzki National Jewish Book Award in 2018. She holds a PhD in American history from George Mason University. Her work has previously been featured in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the New Yorker\, and on the History Channel and National Geographic. \nRescue Board is the extraordinary story of the War Refugee Board\, a US government effort late in World War II to save the remaining Jews of Europe. The staff of the War Refugee Board gathered D.C. pencil pushers\, international relief workers\, smugglers\, diplomats\, millionaires\, and rabble-rousers to run operations across four continents and a dozen countries. They tricked Nazis\, forged identity papers\, maneuvered food and medicine into concentration camps\, recruited spies\, leaked news stories\, laundered money\, negotiated ransoms\, and funneled millions of dollars into Europe\, ultimately saving tens of thousands of lives.  \nThe Gerald S. Kaplan Endowed Lecture is supported by the Gerald S. Kaplan Endowment Fund. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:The Death of Democracy – Hitler’s Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Benjamin Carter Hett will discuss how the Nazi Party came to power and how the failures of the Weimar Republic and the shortsightedness of German politicians allowed it to happen. Why did democracy fall apart so quickly and completely in Germany in the 1930s? How did a democratic government allow Adolf Hitler to seize power? Dr. Hett answers these questions\, and the story he tells has disturbing resonances for our own time. \nBorn in Rochester NY\, Benjamin Carter Hett earned a J.D. at the University of Toronto (1990) and practiced litigation in Canada before earning a Ph.D. in history at Harvard (2001). He has taught at Harvard College and the Harvard Law School and\, since 2003\, at Hunter College and the Graduate Center\, City University of New York. He is the author of The Death of Democracy: Hitler’s Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic (Henry Holt\, 2018)\, winner of the 2019 Vine Award for History and named one of the year’s best books by The Times of London and the Daily Telegraph\, and The Nazi Menace: Hitler\, Churchill\, Roosevelt\, Stalin\, and the Road to War (Henry Holt\, 2020) named an editors’ choice by the New York Times Book Review. His other books include Burning the Reichstag (Oxford\, 2014)\, winner of the 2015 Hans Rosenberg Prize\, and Crossing Hitler (Oxford\, 2008)\, which won the 2007 Fraenkel Prize and was made into a documentary film and a television drama for the BBC. Hett has been the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the American Council of Learned Societies. He is presently working on a project about Arthur Nebe and the German criminal police during the Second World War. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Moving Forward Lecture | Justice Malala: How Mandela Averted Civil War\, His Legacy & South Africa Today
DESCRIPTION:Renowned South African political commentator and best-selling author Justice Malala recounts how the assassination of Nelson Mandela’s protégé by a white supremacist threatened to derail South Africa’s democratic transition and plunge the nation into civil war. \nJohannesburg\, Easter weekend\, 1993. Nelson Mandela has been free for three years and is in power sharing talks with President FW de Klerk when a white supremacist shoots Mandela’s popular young heir apparent\, Chris Hani\, in hopes of igniting an all-out civil war. Will he succeed in plunging South Africa into chaos\, safeguarding apartheid for perhaps years to come? \nIn The Plot to Save South Africa\, Justice Malala recounts the gripping story of the next nine days\, as the government and Mandela’s ANC seek desperately to restore the peace and root out just how far up into the country’s leadership the far-right plot goes. Told from the points of view of over a dozen characters on all sides of the conflict\, Malala offers an illuminating look at successful leadership in action and a terrifying reminder of just how close a country we think of today as a model for racial reconciliation came to civil war. \nJustice Malala’s new book The Plot to Save South Africa: The Week Mandela Averted Civil War and Forged a New Nation will be available for signing at the event. \nJustice Malala is one of South Africa’s foremost political commentators and the author of the #1 bestseller We Have Now Begun Our Descent: How to Stop South Africa Losing its Way. A longtime weekly columnist for The Times (South Africa)\, his work has also appeared in The Washington Post\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Guardian\, and Financial Times\, among other outlets. Malala is also the former publisher of The Sowetan and Sunday World.\n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Free Admission Day in honor of Stefi Altman
DESCRIPTION:Museum admission will be waived on Sunday\, May 14\, 2023 in honor of Holocaust survivor Stefi Altman\, z”l. \nStefi Altman was just 13 years old when Germany overran Poland in September 1939. Soon after\, Stefi’s two older brothers were arrested and sent to a labor camp\, and Nazi soldiers brutuall beat her fater and drove the family from their house. They fled to Stefi’s grandfather’s farm\, taking shelter in the barn. \nThe family remained together until 1940\, when Stefi was sent to the labor camp of Jastkov. Later she was sent to Treblinka and Majdanek. Next\, she was sent to the camp of Dorohucza. Although Dorohucza had neither gas chambers nor crematoria of the other camps\, death always hovered nearby. Like Stefi\, many of the inmates were only half alive by the time they got there. At the end of 1943\, Stefi discovered that her sister\, Kayla\, had also been sent to Dorohucza. But relief soon turned to horror when Kayla was brutally murdered. \nStefi managed\, against all odds\, to escape Dorohucza. For the remainder of the war\, she hid in a coffin-like space underneath a barn that belonged to a sympathetic Polish farmer. After she was liberated by the Soviets\, she learned that her entire family had been murdered. \nStefi Altman\, z”l\, passed away in December 2017.A SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Free Admission Day in honor of Walter Kase
DESCRIPTION:Museum admission fees will be waived on Friday\, May 5\, 2023 in honor of Holocaust survivor Walter Kase\, z”l. \nWhen Germany invaded Poland in September 1939\, it soon became clear that Walter’s family’s lives would never be the same again. At the end of 1940\, Walter\, his parents and his sister\, Rysia\, were herded into a Jewish ghetto. One day in 1941\, the ghetto residents were told to gather in the city square. There\, in front of her family\, Rysia was lined up with other young children and shot to death. Twelve-year-old Walter was sent with his father to the labor camp of Pionki\, later to Auschwitz and Sosnowiec\, and finally to Mauthausen and two of its sub-camps. \nWalter and his father were liberated by the 71st Infantry Division of the United States Army on May 5\, 1945. Taken to a hospital to recuperate\, Walter regained his strength\, but his father succumbed a month later. Walter made his way back to Poland\, where he was reunited with his mother. In 1947\, Walter came to the United States\, settling in Kansas City\, Missouri. There\, he finished his schooling\, started a career in sales and was drafted and served proudly during the Korean War. Walter was able to bring his mother to the United States\, where she settled in Washington\, DC. \nWalter moved to Houston\, where he established a successful import business. He was active in Jewish causes\, sitting on the boards of the Anti-Defamation League and Holocaust Museum Houston. The Anti-Defamation League established a Teachers’ Award in Walter’s name\, and he was the first recipient of the St. Augustine Award from St. Thomas University in recognition of his life-changing impact on others. \n			\n				Register
