Revolución DESCRIPTION:Left: Dr. Christopher Carmona; Right: “El Rinche Vol 2. Revolución-The African American and Mexican American Experience of Land Theft\, Lynching\, and Resistance” book cover \nJoin Holocaust Museum Houston for the second lecture in the Genocide Awareness Month lecture series\, with Dr. Christopher Carmona\, author of El Rinche Vol 2. Revolución-The African American and Mexican American Experience of Land Theft\, Lynching\, and Resistance. \nThis presentation will discuss the shared histories of African Americans and Mexican Americans in the early 20th Century. After Reconstruction ended\, there was a significant rise in violence against African Americans culminating in the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. For over 30 years African Americans had established Freedom towns which were Black towns with Black economies and Black run. These Freedom towns were all over the South and Texas. With the rise of what is called the New South came the KKK and its most powerful era. They destroyed and pushed African Americans off of their lands and destroyed their towns. For Mexican Americans in Texas\, the Texas Rangers were used as thugs to push Mexican American landowners off of their lands and de-enfranchise people of color. This was the deadliest and most violent era of state sponsored violence for people of color\, almost erased from American history. \nChristopher Carmona is the author of El Rinche: The Ghost Ranger of the Rio Grande\, which was a finalist for the 2019 Best Young Adult Novel for the Texas Institute of Letters.

Soon\, he is on a circuitous path to encounters with the long-time residents of the building\, and with a Polish lawyer known as “The Killer.” A surprise discovery—that his grandfather’s cousin not only survived the war but wrote a secret memoir while a slave laborer in a vast\, secret Nazi tunnel complex—leads to Kaiser being adopted as a virtual celebrity by a band of Silesian treasure seekers who revere the memoir as the indispensable guidebook to Nazi plunder. Propelled by rich original research\, Kaiser immerses readers in profound questions that reach far beyond his personal quest. What does it mean to seize your own legacy? Can reclaimed property repair rifts among the living? Plunder is both a deeply immersive adventure story and an irreverent\, daring interrogation of inheritance—material\, spiritual\, familial\, and emotional. \nMenachem Kaiser holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of Michigan and was a Fulbright Fellow to Lithuania. His writing has appeared in the New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, The Atlantic\, New York\, BOMB\, and elsewhere. He lives in Brooklyn\, NY. \nThe event will be hosted in person.

Then the Nazis swept into Serbia in 1941. While relatives were being shot and gassed\, Dona Bat Kalef fled with her two daughters\, Breda and Matilda\, to a Catholic church. “Can you protect us?” she asked Father Andrej Tumpej. The kind priest did indeed save Dona and her daughters\, but their father\, Avram Kalef\, was murdered in a gas van 80 years ago this March. \nJoin Centropa and Holocaust Museum Houston in honoring Avram Kalef and his family by learning the story of his family and other Sephardic Jews (whose ancestors were originally from Spain) who perished in the Holocaust. This program is designed for Spanish\, ESL\, teachers of Heritage Spanish speakers\, and all Holocaust educators. \nBoth Centropa and Holocaust Museum Houston will share user-friendly materials exploring Sephardic Jewish history\, usable in online or in-class teaching. \nParticipating teachers have access to Centropa’s Google Classroom with primary & second sources\, lessons\, student worksheets\, and a teacher packet. Houston 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\, a historical institute based in Vienna\, interviewed 1\,200 elderly Jews living in 15 European countries. We didn’t use video or focus on the Holocaust. We asked our respondents to tell us their entire life stories spanning the 20th c. as they showed us their old family photographs\, which we digitized. All are downloadable and free. Each summer we bring 25 US teachers to the great cities of Central Europe to travel with 80 teachers from 15 countries; in 2022 we will be in Berlin.

With programming\, to include social media posts and a six-part workshop series (offered virtually)\, Holocaust Museum Houston takes on a new kind of leadership and outreach. \nThe goal of the Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred Program is to cultivate Upstanders who are aware of the power of hatred in human decision making and to provide community members an opportunity to learn important concepts of history\, civic awareness\, and social justice. This program empowers community members to reflect and act. \nWe must find ways to talk and interact with each other beyond boundaries. At the same time\, we must create ways to disallow hatred in our culture\, two actions that may seem contradictory\, but are essential in this time of our society’s history. \nIn each session of the Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred sessions\, we will share a critique of a piece of hate rhetoric\, extremism\, and/or antisemitism\, with the goal of educating the community on how to recognize\, reflect on and respond to hateful content. \nCoordinated with social media outreach\, we offer a series of six workshops co-facilitated by Mary Lee Webeck\, Ph.D.; Holocaust and Genocide Education Endowed Chair – Celebrating the Life of Survivor Naomi Warren and Beverly Nolan\, Ed.D.\, Chair – Education Advisory Committee\, Holocaust Museum Houston. \nThis session will be rebroadcast at 6:30 p.m. on its scheduled date. \nFeatured speaker: Mark Weitzman \nMark Weitzman is Director of Government Affairs for the Simon Wiesenthal Center. He was responsible for introducing and steering to adoption the “Working Definition of Antisemitism’ at the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA)\, where he is the senior member of the US delegation. He was also the lead author of IHRA’s Working Definition of Holocaust Denial and Distortion. A member of the Program on Religion and Foreign Policy at the Council of Foreign Relations\, he is currently editing A History of Antisemitism (Routledge\, 2021) and was a winner of the National Jewish Book Award in 2007 for Antisemitism\, the Generic Hatred: Essays in Memory of Simon Wiesenthal.

Yet few know about the remarkable women considered in the decades before her triumph. \nShortlisted tells the overlooked stories of nine extraordinary women—a cohort large enough to seat the entire Supreme Court—who appeared on presidential lists dating back to the 1930s. Florence Allen\, the first female judge on the highest court in Ohio\, was named repeatedly in those early years. Eight more followed\, including Amalya Kearse\, a federal appellate judge who was the first African American woman viewed as a potential Supreme Court nominee. Award-winning scholars Renee Knake Jefferson and Hannah Brenner Johnson cleverly weave together long-forgotten materials from presidential libraries and private archives to reveal the professional and personal lives of these accomplished women. \nIn addition to filling a notable historical gap\, the book exposes the harms of shortlisting―it reveals how adding qualified female candidates to a list but passing over them ultimately creates the appearance of diversity while preserving the status quo. This phenomenon often occurs with any pursuit of professional advancement\, whether the judge in the courtroom\, the CEO in the corner office\, or the coach on the playing field. Women\, and especially female minorities\, while as qualified as others on the shortlist (if not more so)\, find themselves far less likely to be chosen. With the stories of these nine exemplary women as a framework\, Shortlisted offers all women a valuable set of strategies for upending the injustices that still endure. It is a must-read for those seeking positions of power as well as for the powerful who select them in the legal profession and beyond. \nRenee Knake Jefferson is the Doherty Chair in Legal Ethics and a Professor of Law at the University of Houston. An author of four books and more than 20 academic articles\, she frequently appears in the media including MSNBC\, National Public Radio\, and the Wall Street Journal. \nHannah Brenner Johnson is the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law at California Western School of Law. Her research interests surround sexual violence perpetrated in institutions and closed systems\, and gender inequality in the legal profession. \nSpecial thanks to PNC Bank for generously supporting the Museum’s Notorious RBG Lecture and Film Series. The event will be hosted in person.

Take advantage of free access to the library resources\, databases\, and WiFi. Use this time to meet with friends\, read what you like\, learn about the things that are important to you\, work together for social justice. \nIn 1996\, Holocaust Museum Houston asked the public to create a butterfly to represent each of the 1.5 million children lost in the Holocaust. A current exhibit displays a part of the collection in the Museum today. Lanelle Wolf will visit with the group virtually and show teens how to make a butterfly from materials readily available for you to take home and remember those lives. \nMuseum admission is always free for students 18 and under. \nPlease note: Face masks are required for all guests ages 2 and up. Complimentary masks are available at the Security desk. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/teen-takeover-tuesdays/ LOCATION:Boniuk Library – Third Floor CATEGORIES:Community Gathering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/teens_boniuk2.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220218T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220218T163000 DTSTAMP:20260404T052108 CREATED:20230809T080236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T140643Z UID:10000444-1645192800-1645201800@hmh.org SUMMARY:Matinee Film Screening: The Defiant Ones DESCRIPTION:Left: “The Defiant Ones” movie poster; Right: Dr. John Sbardellati \nIn correlation with the exhibition Blacklist: The Hollywood Red Scare\, join us for a special matinee screening of the film The Defiant Ones. Dr. John Sbardellati\, Visiting Associate Professor of History at the University of Houston and author of J. Edgar Hoover Goes to the Movies: the FBI and the Origins of Hollywood’s Cold War\, will introduce the film. \nThe Defiant Ones\, Stanley Kramer’s landmark 1958 film\, presents audiences with a gripping and suspenseful story of two escaped fugitives fleeing from the law\, but weighed down by more than just their physical chains. Starring Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis\, this prison-break drama blends fine entertainment with a social message condemning racism. One of Poitier’s finest roles and regarded as one of the most prestigious films of its day\, The Defiant Ones garnered nine Academy Award nominations\, winning in two categories\, including best screenplay. Yet one of the screenwriters\, Nedrick Young\, had resorted to using a pseudonym in the film credits because he had refused to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee and subsequently found himself on the blacklist. This film offers us a unique window into the culture of the 1950s\, and the intersection of race and the Red Scare. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required. \nPlease note: In consideration of the health and safety of our event guests and museum staff\, HMH will require all event guests to provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination (including a booster shot) by presenting a vaccination card/photo or a negative test within the last 72 hours of event. Face masks are required for all guests ages 2 and up. Complimentary masks are available at the Security desk. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/matinee-film-screening-the-defiant-ones/ LOCATION:Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater CATEGORIES:FILM SCREENING ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/the_defiant_ones_for_web.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
