SUMMARY:Author Talk | Edward Westermann on "Drunk on Genocide: Alcohol and Mass Murder in Nazi Germany"
DESCRIPTION:During the Third Reich\, alcohol served as both a literal and metaphorical lubricant for acts of violence and atrocity by the men of the Storm Troopers (SA)\, the SS\, and the police\, and its use and abuse was widespread among the perpetrators. Over the course of the Third Reich\, scenes involving alcohol consumption and revelry among the SS and police would become a routine part of rituals of humiliation in the camps\, ghettos\, and killing fields of Eastern Europe. The role of alcohol and celebratory ritual in the Nazi genocide of European Jews offers an important perspective on the intersection between masculinity\, drinking ritual\, and mass murder and it provides an important insight for evaluating the mindset\, motivation\, mentality of the killers as they prepared for and participated in acts of mass murder and ultimately genocide. \nEdward Westermann received his Ph.D. in History from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is a Regents Professor of History at Texas A&M University-San Antonio and serves as a Commissioner of the Texas Holocaust & Genocide Commission. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Virtual Film Screening: The Cordillera of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Film Synopsis:Winner of the Best Documentary award at the Cannes Film Festival\, master filmmaker Patricio Guzmán’s “The Cordillera of Dreams” completes his trilogy (with “Nostalgia for the Light” and “The Pearl Button”) on the relationship between historical memory\, political trauma\, and geography in his native country of Chile. The imposing Andes run the length of the country’s Eastern border. At once protective and isolating\, magisterial and indifferent\, this Cordillera serves as an enigmatic focal point around which Guzmán contemplates the enduring legacy of the 1973 military coup d’état. Unflinching in its presentation of contemporary Chile\, “The Cordillera of Dreams” moves beyond despair and looks towards the possibilities of political change by linking the ideological struggles of the past with the inequalities of the present. \nThis film will be screened in Spanish with English subtitles. Admission is free and open to the public. Donations are welcomed. Advanced registration is required to receive the private streaming link. \n			\n				WATCH THE TRAILER\n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred – Antisemitism Today
DESCRIPTION:Living\, as we do\, in a time of unmitigated hatred\, hate crimes\, acts of antisemitism and extremism\, we must take steps of awareness and action. 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. \nOn Monday\, April 26\, we address the long history of xenophobia (a fear of strangers\, or fear of someone who is different from us) and the rising incidents of hate crimes directed toward the Asian communities of the United States. With leaders from national and Houston-based organizations\, we discuss strategies to promote agency and actions to #StopAsianHate. \nModerator: \nGary Nakamura – Immediate Past President\, Japanese American Citizens League (JACL)\, Houston Chapter  \nPanel of Speakers: \n\nDebbie Chen – National Executive Vice President\, OCA Asian Pacific American Advocates\nDavid Inoue – National Executive Director\, Japanese American Citizens League (JACL)\nAlice Lee – President\, Chinese American Citizen Alliance (CACA)\, Houston Lodge 2020 Board of Officers\nThu Nguyen – Director of OCA (National)\, OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates\nJohn C.

SUMMARY:Race and the Houston Police Department with Dr. Dwight Watson
DESCRIPTION:In correlation with the exhibit Withstand: Latinx Art During Times of Conflict\, author and historian Dr. Dwight Watson will discuss his book\, Race and the Houston Police Department 1930-1990. \nIn Houston\, as in the rest of the American South up until the 1950s\, the police force reflected and enforced the segregation of the larger society. When the nation began to change in the 1950s and 1960s\, this guardian of the status quo had to change\, too. It was not designed to do so easily. Watson’s study demonstrates vividly how race complicated the internal impulses for change and gave way through time to external pressures—including the Civil Rights Movement\, modernization\, annexations\, and court-ordered redistricting—for institutional changes within the department. \nHe will highlight his extensive research on Joe Campos Torres\, a chapter from his book covering the case under the title “The Storm Clouds of Change: The Death of José Campos Torres and the Emergence of Triracial Politics in Houston.” \nSpecial guest Janie Torres will discuss her family’s search for justice and the annual Torres memorial walk. \nDwight W. Watson is an assistant professor of history at Texas State University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Houston. He has previously worked as a correctional counselor\, a prison grievance officer\, a county probation officer\, and state parole officer. \nThis talk will be moderated by Texas Southern University professor\, Dr. Jesus Esparza. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Guests will receive a private Zoom link so advance registration is required.\n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:An Evening With Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, Author of "How to Be an Antiracist"
DESCRIPTION:In recognizing the significance of antiracist programming\, HMH has invited Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, one of America’s foremost historians and leading antiracist scholars\, to speak about his 2019 book\, How to Be an Antiracist. Kendi’s presentation will be centered on defining what it means to be antiracist and what actions people can take to clearly see all forms of racism. \nKendi’s concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America—but even more fundamentally\, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Instead of working with the policies and system we have in place\, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like\, and how we can play an active role in building it. In his memoir\, Kendi weaves together an electrifying combination of ethics\, history\, law\, and science–including the story of his own awakening to antiracism—bringing it all together in a cogent\, accessible form. He begins by helping us rethink our most deeply held\, if implicit\, beliefs and our most intimate personal relationships (including beliefs about race and IQ and interracial social relations) and reexamines the policies and larger social arrangements we support. \nKendi is an American author\, professor\, antiracist activist\, and historian of race and discriminatory policy in America. In July 2020\, he assumed the position of director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University. Kendi was included in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required to receive the private Zoom link. \nGenerously sponsored by Dr. Anna Steinberger \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Recognizing Human Rights on the U.S.-Mexico Border
DESCRIPTION:Holocaust Museum Houston’s Engines of Change alum Cain Trevino will present his Together We Remember Coalition (TWR) fellowship project in this special presentation. He will highlight the work of the South Texas Human Rights Center (STHRC).

Their mission is to end death and suffering on the Texas/Mexico border through community initiatives. \nAdmission is free and open to the public.

His inspiration extends the dialogue of different musical airs; from the simple acoustic style of his singing to the strength and vibrancy of theatre-esque street carnivals (murgas). He has published three theatre productions\, “Indicio” (2014)\, “Provinciano “(2017) and “Bailando Bailando”(2021). \nHis live theatrical productions have taken him to some of Colombia’s emblematic stages like Teatro Mayor\, Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán\, Rock Nacional\, Colombia al Parque\, Teatro Colón\, Pasto Jazz and more. He has been invited to visit stages on the international scene like Uruguay\, Argentina\, Peru and the US. He has collaborate with artists such as Marta Gómez\, Santiago Cruz\, Vicente García\, Telebit\, Andrés Correa\, Las Áñez\, Edson Velandia\, and the Quintet Leopoldo Federico where he participated with his original song “Una Pena” on the album “Quinteto con voz”\, an album nominated for the Latin Grammy 2020 in the category Best Folk Album. \nThroughout his career\, he’s made it to some of the most important musical charts in Colombia with several productions reaching the #Top20 of Radio Nacional and Radiónica. His album Provinciano was recognized as one of the best albums of the year according to Revista Semana\, El Colombiano\, Revista Shock\, Radio Nacional\, among others. \nIn 2021\, he brings new productions filled with a newly developed style in which he mixes sounds and harmonies inspired by the carnival “murgas” of South Colombia with more contemporary electric elements like samples of a Moog synthesizer\, and the electric guitar\, all while celebrating dance\, tradition\, rock and the Latin street carnivals.
