SUMMARY:Free Admission Day in honor of Stefi Altman
DESCRIPTION:Museum admission will be waived on Sunday\, May 15\, 2022 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. \nIn addition\, Harris County Public Health will be onsite at Holocaust Museum Houston all day\, administering the COVID-19 vaccine. \n\nPfizer (ages 5 & up)\, Moderna (ages 18 & up) and J&J (ages 18 & up) vaccines available\nFirst\, second and booster doses available\nNo Photo ID is required\, but those receiving 2nd and booster doses must bring their vaccination card with them.\nInsurance is not required.\nChildren between the age of 5 and 17 must have a consent form signed on the day of the vaccination. \nWalk-ins will be accepted.\n\n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Leveraging RBG’s Lasting Legacy to Confront Today’s Criminal Justice Challenges
DESCRIPTION:This event is available to attend either in person at the Museum or virtually on Zoom. \nJoin Holocaust Museum Houston for a moderated panel discussion with local criminal justice leaders on the impact of RBG’s legacy on current criminal justice challenges. \nJustice Ruth Bader Ginsburg left a rich legacy on criminal justice questions that deeply implicate our shared values and the protection of lives and liberties. Our nation\, our state\, and our greater Houston community continues to grapple with vexing questions at the intersection of safety and justice that Justice Ginsburg addressed in her pioneering work as a public interest lawyer and jurist\, including the death penalty\, indigent defense\, pretrial detention\, and the role of parole and second-look policies. At a time of both rising homicides and a burgeoning movement to bring more significant equity and due process to our justice system\, this diverse panel will share their perspectives on how Justice Ginsburg’s jurisprudence and philosophy inform current efforts to advance justice in Harris County and beyond. \nModeratorMarc Levin\, Chief Policy Counsel\, Council on Criminal Justice \nPanelists \n\nAlex Bunin\, Harris County Public Defender\nThe Honorable Marc Carter\, Schaffer\, Carter\, Kennedy & Mayes\, TSU Regent and Former Judge\nGary M. Polland\, Defense Attorney & Former Chair\, Harris County GOP\nProfessor Sandra Guerra Thompson\, UH Law Center\n\nSpecial thanks to PNC Bank for generously supporting the Museum’s Notorious RBG Lecture and Film Series.

SUMMARY:Free Admission Day in honor of Walter Kase
DESCRIPTION:Museum admission fees will be waived on Thursday\, May 5\, 2022 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. \nIn addition\, Harris County Public Health will be onsite at Holocaust Museum Houston all day\, administering the COVID-19 vaccine. \n\nPfizer (ages 5 & up)\, Moderna (ages 18 & up) and J&J (ages 18 & up) vaccines available\nFirst\, second and booster doses available\nNo Photo ID is required\, but those receiving 2nd and booster doses must bring their vaccination card with them.\nInsurance is not required.\nChildren between the age of 5 and 17 must have a consent form signed on the day of the vaccination.\nWalk-ins will be accepted.\n\n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:The Jewish Heroes of Warsaw: The Afterlife of the Revolt
DESCRIPTION:In his newest book\, Dr. Avinoam Patt examines the heroic saga of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising\, analyzing how the revolt was mythologized in a way that captured the attention of Jews around the world\, allowing them to imagine what it might have been like to be there\, engaged in the struggle against the Nazi oppressor. Soon after the uprising in April 1943\, the transition to memorialization and mourning of those lost in the Holocaust solidified the event as a date to remember both the heroes and the martyrs of Warsaw and of European Jewry more broadly. \nAvinoam J. Patt (PhD) is the Doris and Simon Konover Chair of Judaic Studies and Director of the Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life at the University of Connecticut. Previously he served at the Feltman Professor of Modern Jewish History at the University of Hartford and as the Miles Lerman Scholar for Jewish Life and Culture at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. \nHe is the author of several books\, including Finding Home and Homeland: Jewish Youth and Zionism in the Aftermath of the Holocaust (Wayne State University Press\, May 2009); co-editor (with Michael Berkowitz) of a collected volume on Jewish Displaced Persons\, titled We are Here: New Approaches to the Study of Jewish Displaced Persons in Postwar Germany (Wayne State University Press\, 2010). He is co-editor of The JDC at 100: A Century of Humanitarianism (Wayne State University Press\, 2019). Together with David Slucki and Gabriel Finder\, he is co-editor of Laughter After: Humor and the Holocaust (April 2020) and\, with Laura Hilton\, is co-editor of Understanding and Teaching the Holocaust (University of Wisconsin Press\, July 2020). \nThis event is in person. Admission is free\, but advanced registration is required. \n			\n				Register
