Kendi DESCRIPTION:“Being an antiracist requires persistent self-awareness\, constant self-criticism\, and regular self-examination.” – Ibram X. Kendi \nHolocaust Museum Houston’s young professionals’ group\, NEXTGen\, invites you to a Virtual Book Discussion of How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. A digital copy of How to be an Antiracist is available for free in the Museum’s Boniuk Library’s collection\, which is accessible to NEXTGen\, Museum members\, staff\, and volunteers. \nThis virtual event is free for NEXTGen members.

For more information\, please contact Rocio Rubio\, Corporate Relations Officer\, at rrubio@hmh.org. \nAbout How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. KendiAntiracism is a transformative concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about racism—and\, even more fundamentally\, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. At its core\, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race\, from the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colors to the way we treat people of different sexes\, gender identities\, and body types. Racism intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see and value ourselves. In How to Be an Antiracist\, Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas—from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities—that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly\, understand their poisonous consequences\, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves. \nKendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics\, history\, law\, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism. This is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society. \nAbout NEXTGenNEXTGen is the Museum’s affinity group for young professionals ages 21-45 who share a common passion for the Museum and its mission.

Between 1939 and 1945\, Bill and his family lived on the run. Bill\, the eldest son of Sender and Sonia Orlinski\, was seven years old when German troops invaded Poland and occupied his hometown of Brok. The Jewish residents were forcibly marched to Ostrow Mazowiecki\, about 50 miles northwest of Warsaw. \nThe forced march\, although terrifying at the time\, may have saved the family’s lives. Once Bill and his family were in Soviet-controlled Poland\, they continued their eastward journey into the Soviet interior\, where they remained in relative safety for the rest of WWII. When Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941 the family “ran\,” recalls Bill. Although the family was together\, life was tremendously difficult\, suffering from hunger and malnutrition for the next several years. \nNEXTGen encourages guests to support their favorite local restaurant by ordering brunch and then joining us virtually via Zoom.

Cole graduated from Georgetown with a major in Justice and Peace Studies and a passion for storytelling. \nDuring his time at Georgetown\, Cole was inspired to begin penning his first book\, Greyboy: Finding Blackness in a White World. \nGreyboy is a collection of introspective essays that follows the journey of Black identity when subsumed in an environment of white privilege. \nThanks to the generosity of H‐E‐B\, this event is available at no cost to attendees\, but registration is required.

Our final event highlighting Indigenous narratives features a virtual screening of “The Condor & The Eagle” by filmmakers\, Sophie and Clément Guerra. \nFilm Synopsis:This unique award-winning documentary film of global reach brings to light the interconnected nature of social issues such as gender\, race\, class and the environment. “The Condor & The Eagle” helps us understand how social\, environmental and political identities combine to create specific modes of discrimination and privilege. \nIndigenous communities are Earth global environmental leaders. Statistics show that Indigenous peoples represent only 4% of the world’s population\, live on 22% of the earth’s surface\, holding 80% of the remaining biodiversity. \n“The Condor & The Eagle” is deeply empowering: the story starts small with local impacted marginalized individuals who decide to no longer accept to be the victims of an unjust system. Overcoming the feeling of isolation\, they manage to grow regional support networks\, progressively gaining national visibility. Eventually\, they rise as international leaders taking the fight from the streets to the courts (Tribunals\, Consultations and Reforms) and inspire others to help change our system’s architecture. \nThis film will be screened in English with Spanish subtitles. Admission is free and open to the public. Donations are welcomed.

Through critical conversations and open dialogue\, participants will consider their role in the antiracism movement and everyday actions they can take to dismantle inequality. \nYashica Dutt is a journalist and the author of Coming Out as Dalit. She spent a decade covering arts\, culture\, and fashion in New Delhi and a lifetime hiding her Dalitness to pass as ‘upper’ caste. Until she ‘came out’ as Dalit in a Facebook note and wrote a book that’s part non-fiction\, part-memoir and wholly a scathing account of how the caste system operates and affects Dalits in today’s India. Her work explores the intersection of caste\, class\, and gender and seeks to expose caste as the ‘the invisible arm that turns the gears in nearly every system in India’. \nComing Out as Dalit has received immense critical acclaim from the press and the readers. It has been called an “Eye Opening Contribution to Dalit Literature” and a book that will likely play “a major role in influencing the Millennial expression on being a Dalit.” Dutt graduated from Columbia Journalism School and lives in New York. Her work has been published in the New York Times\, The Atlantic and Foreign Policy. \nThanks to the generosity of H‐E‐B\, this event is available at no cost to attendees\, but registration is required. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/coming-out-as-dalit-with-yashica-dutt/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Dismantling Bias Lecture Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/yashica-photo.jpeg-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210115T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210115T130000 DTSTAMP:20260404T042824 CREATED:20230802T130040Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T130049Z UID:10000112-1610712000-1610715600@hmh.org SUMMARY:Dialogue with Simon Fujiwara\, Alexandra Zapruder\, and Dr. Mary Lee Webeck DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mary Lee Webeck; Simon Fujiwara; Alexandra Zapruder \nBlaffer Art Museum and Holocaust Museum Houston present a two-part dialogue with artist Simon Fujiwara\, diaries expert Alexandra Zapruder\, and Dr. Mary Lee Webeck\, Holocaust and Genocide Education Endowed Chair at Holocaust Museum Houston\, in conjunction with the exhibition\, Simon Fujiwara: Hope House—on view at the Blaffer through March 14\, 2021. \nHope House is an ongoing exhibition built upon years of study into the legacy of Anne Frank\, the young Jewish girl who became famous for the diary she wrote whilst in hiding from the Nazis. Her ascension from a regular girl to a renowned historical figure provides a case study\, lens\, and continuum for Fujiwara to present objects and artworks that sample from\, and survey today’s socio-political media-scape. Since 2017 he has been erecting life-scale replicas of the Anne Frank House’s “build-your-own” model as exhibition architecture to present artifacts collected and analyzed from a diary-like perspective. Inspired by Anne’s personal form of record keeping\, as well as the way her story embodies an enduring stand against the escalating dangers of a fascist regime\, Fujiwara confronts embedded pathologies within pop culture. Collaging objects from the present into his enlarged facsimile of the House\, he sculpts the everyday into an evolving portrait of what happens when hopeful ideologies meet the mechanisms of consumer culture. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public.

Participating teachers will earn 1.5 hours CPE credit. \nHolocaust Museum Houston is dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust\, remembering the 6 million Jews and other innocent victims and honoring the survivors’ legacy. Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides\, we teach the dangers of hatred\, prejudice and apathy. \nCentropa interviewed 1\,200 elderly Jews living in 15 European countries. We asked our respondents to tell us their entire life stories spanning the 20th c. as they showed us their old family photographs. Centropa offers teachers a database of thousands of annotated photos\, hundreds of interviews\, and scores of award-winning\, short multimedia films (no longer than 30 minutes)—ideal for virtual or in-class projects that teach digital literacy\, promote critical thinking\, increase global awareness and all free of charge. Each summer we bring 25 US teachers to the great cities of Central Europe to travel with 80 teachers from 15 countries; in 2021 we will be in Vienna. Join this webinar to learn more. \nQuestions?
