Waller \nWhile COVID-19’s impact continues on a global scale – economically\, socially\, politically\, and existentially – it will be particularly felt in deeply divided\, fragile\, conflict-prone\, or at-risk societies. In such societies\, it is absolutely vital that policy measures be taken for preventive action before risk escalates to the point of mass atrocity. This presentation will review some of those pressure points related to governance\, economic conditions\, and social fragmentation. The pandemic\, and its potential to serve as a trigger for mass violence\, makes our shared work of atrocity prevention more urgent than ever. \nDr. James Waller is Cohen Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Keene State College (NH)\, home to the nation’s only undergraduate major in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. He also serves as Director of Academic Programs for the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities\, a leading international NGO in the field. He is the author of six books\, most notably Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide and Mass Atrocity (Oxford University Press\, 2007). His newest book\, due out later this year from Oxford University Press\, is A Troubled Sleep: Risk and Resilience in Contemporary Northern Ireland.\n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/implications-of-covid-19-for-atrocity-prevention-with-dr-james-waller/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:The Warren and Spector/Warren Fellowship for Future Teachers Public Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/waller_for_web.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20200902T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20200902T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T114938 CREATED:20230809T082215Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230809T125406Z UID:10000403-1599071400-1599076800@hmh.org SUMMARY:Author Talk with Jack Fairweather DESCRIPTION:Journalist and award-winning author Jack Fairweather will discuss his book\, The Volunteer: One Man\, an Underground Army\, and the Secret Mission to Destroy Auschwitz.The incredible true story of a Polish resistance fighter’s infiltration of Auschwitz to sabotage the camp from within\, and his death-defying attempt to warn the Allies about the Nazis’ plans for a “Final Solution” before it was too late. Thirty-nine-year-old Polish resistance fighter\, Witold Pilecki volunteered for the daring mission to infiltrate Auschwitz and report back to the underground on conditions within the camp. Over the next two and half years\, Pilecki forged an underground army within Auschwitz that sabotaged facilities\, assassinated Nazi informants and officers\, and gathered evidence of terrifying abuse and mass murder. With exclusive access to previously hidden diaries\, family and camp survivor accounts\, and recently declassified files\, Jack Fairweather offers an unflinching portrayal of survival\, revenge and betrayal in mankind’s darkest hour. And in uncovering the tragic outcome of Pilecki’s mission\, he reveals that its ultimate defeat originated not in Auschwitz or Berlin\, but in London and Washington. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/author-talk-with-jack-fairweather/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Virtual Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/jack_fairweather.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20200905T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20200905T170000 DTSTAMP:20260405T114938 CREATED:20230802T133329Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T133338Z UID:10000131-1599310800-1599325200@hmh.org SUMMARY:Celebrating the Life of Holocaust Survivor Naomi Warren\, z"l DESCRIPTION:Naomi Warren\, z”l \nPlease join us in celebrating Holocaust Survivor Naomi Warren’s life by signing her 100th birthday card; watching her video testimony; sharing photos\, interviews and videos from her amazing life; and previewing a trailer of a new film\, Finding Light\, about Ballet Austin’s Light / The Holocaust and Humanity Project\, which is dedicated to Naomi and based on her experiences. \nNaomi Warren was born on September 1\, 1920 and grew up in Wołkowysk\, a small city in eastern Poland. Naomi was finalizing arrangements to attend a university in England when Germany invaded Poland in September 1939\, her 19th birthday. Shortly after\, Soviet troops marched into Poland from the east\, occupying her hometown. \nIn the summer of 1941\, Germany overran eastern Poland and began systematically isolating\, interning and murdering its Jewish population. Naomi and her husband\, Alexander\, were sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau in January 1942\, riding in an airless cattle car that was so crowded they could barely sit down. They were separated when they arrived and Alexander was sent to the men’s camp where he perished several months later. Selected for a labor detail\, Naomi resolved to survive. Naomi endured almost three years in Auschwitz-Birkenau. As Soviet troops approached in the beginning of 1945\, she and her fellow inmates were sent to Ravensbrück and then to Bergen-Belsen. When the British liberated her there in April 1945\, Naomi felt as if “the whole world opened up” for her. \nThe following year\, Naomi came to Houston with the help of her maternal uncle William Salman and her sister Elizabeth Brandon who had settled in the United States before the war. Naomi’s father Samuel had survived the war as an internee in Siberia and he came to the U.S. at the end of 1946. In 1949\, Naomi married Martin Warren and together they established a business importing Danish hams to the United States. They had three children—Helen\, Geri and Benjamin. Naomi’s legacy lives on at the Museum through the Warren Fellowship for Future Teachers\, established by her family in 2000\, in honor of her 80th birthday.
