SUMMARY:Film Screening and Talk Back | "Whispers of Silence"
DESCRIPTION:The Silverman Latin American Institute’s evening program will feature a special film screening and conversation around Holocaust trauma and its’ transmission. Whispers of Silence explores the stories of Holocaust survivors rebuilding their lives in Mexico. Little by little\, they begin their difficult process of adaptation to a new culture\, language and climate. They begin to work\, get married\, start families and have children. But the trauma of the Holocaust will always be present in their lives and they transmit it to their children with secrets\, fears\, traumas\, guilt\, losses\, sadness\, nightmares … through “Whispers of Silence.” The program will feature a talk back with filmmakers and content experts Aaron Cohen\, Esther Cohen and Miriam Grynberg de Cielak. \nThis is a bilingual program with interpretation services available in English and Spanish. \nThe Silverman Latin American Institute\, supported by the Lt. David L. Silverman Endowment Fund\, is an international bilingual conference that brings educators from Latin America and the United States together to study the Holocaust\, human rights\, and social justice. Silverman Fellows are immersed in historical and pedagogical content while creating international networks that strengthen educational collaborations. \nIf you need assistance with registration\, please call Laurie Garcia at 713-527-1611.\n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening Reception | Woman\, the Spirit of the Universe
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of Woman\, the Spirit of the Universe. This exhibit\, designed and created by artist Carolyn Marks Johnson\, features stunning bronze collars inspired by 23 American heroines who fought bravely and tirelessly for equality. The collars are stitched by hand in hand-worked cotton and then cast in bronze. For most of us\, a collar is simply an adornment for a shirt or dress. In Carolyn Marks Johnson’s art\, a collar symbolizes the struggle to establish women’s rights. Johnson just completed two new collars that will debut in the HMH exhibition to honor former Houston Mayor Annise Parker and the city’s first librarian Julia B. Ideson. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Theatrical Performance | "The Jewish Dog"
DESCRIPTION:“The Jewish Dog\,” directed by Yonatan Esterkin\, is based on the Israeli book The Jewish Dog by Asher Kravitz“The Jewish Dog” is both a moving and at times funny one man show that tells the story of Coresh\, a dog born into a Jewish Family in Berlin\, 1933.It depicts the story of those hard years – the Nazi uprising\, anti-Jewish legislation\, the deportations\, the war\, the concentration camps\, the Jewish rebellion and the ‘illegal Aliya’ to Israel\, all through the eyes of the dog – an original point of view which allows a new perspective on this important subject.In collaboration with the Consulate General of Israel to the Southwest\, the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston and the ADL Southwest\, this program is in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening Reception | Neighbors 1938 We were all Ladenburgers
DESCRIPTION:November 9\, 1938\, marked the start of the November Pogroms\, when violent antisemitic demonstrations broke out across Germany\, Austria\, and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. This exhibition will shed light on the events as exemplified within several Jewish families in Ladenburg\, Germany. It gives a picture of the city’s residents and their relations to one another. \nThe exhibition was conceived by teachers and students at the Hochschule für Jüdische Studien (Center for Jewish Studies\, Heidelberg) and the University of Heidelberg in cooperation with the Lobdengau Museum. The project was based on the information compiled by the working group “Jüdische Geschichte” (‘Jewish History’) established in 1983 in Ladenburg. This exhibit discusses the fate of several Ladenburg families within the broader historical context. The research for this exhibit helped to situate the fate of several Ladenburg families in the greater context of history\, including the family of Houston survivors Lea Krell Weems and Ruth Krell Steinfeld. Ladenburg was the childhood home of survivors Lea and Ruth who survived by being smuggled out of Gurs by the French resistance group Œuvre de Secours aux Enfants (Children’s Aid Society) at the age of 8 and 7\, respectively. \nReasearch and Funding provided by Hochschule für Jüdische Studien (Center for Jewish Studies\, Heidelberg and the Lobdengau Museum. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Spring Break | Holocaust Survivor Talk: Dr. Anna Steinberger
DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston as Holocaust survivor Dr. Anna Steinberger gives her testimony on the Mady and Ken Kades Stage in the Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater. Germany attacked Poland in September 1939\, when Anna was 11 years old. As bombs fell\, Anna and her parents and older brother fled eastward together with thousands of other refugees. Eventually\, Anna’s family reached Rovno\, in the Soviet zone of occupied Poland. One day a Red Army soldier knocked on their door and offered them a choice: return home to the German zone of Poland\, or “resettle” in the Soviet Union. They chose the Soviet Union\, and were sent to Kolchoz\, near Stalingrad\, where they toiled on a collective farm. When Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941\, Anna’s brother was drafted into the Soviet Army and the rest of the family was relocated again\, this time to Alma Ata in the Kazakh Republic. \nThis event is included in Museum admission. No registration is necessary.\n			\n				GET TICKETS

SUMMARY:Spring Break | Holocaust Survivor Talk: Bill Orlin
DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston as survivor Bill Orlin gives his testimony on the Mady and Ken Kades Stage in the Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater. \nBetween 1939 and 1945\, Orlin and his family lived on the run. The eldest son of Sender and Sonia Orlinski\, he 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.

SUMMARY:Spring Break | Holocaust Survivor Talk: Bill Orlin
DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston as survivor Bill Orlin gives his testimony on the Mady and Ken Kades Stage in the Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater. \nBetween 1939 and 1945\, Orlin and his family lived on the run. The eldest son of Sender and Sonia Orlinski\, he 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 Orlin 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\,” as Orlin recalls. Although the family was together\, life was tremendously difficult\, suffering from hunger and malnutrition for the next several years.  \nThis event is included in Museum admission.

SUMMARY:Free Admission Day in honor of Walter Kase
DESCRIPTION:Museum admission fees will be waived on Friday\, May 5\, 2023 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. \n			\n				Register

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.A SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Moving Forward Lecture | Justice Malala: How Mandela Averted Civil War\, His Legacy & South Africa Today
DESCRIPTION:Renowned South African political commentator and best-selling author Justice Malala recounts how the assassination of Nelson Mandela’s protégé by a white supremacist threatened to derail South Africa’s democratic transition and plunge the nation into civil war. \nJohannesburg\, Easter weekend\, 1993. Nelson Mandela has been free for three years and is in power sharing talks with President FW de Klerk when a white supremacist shoots Mandela’s popular young heir apparent\, Chris Hani\, in hopes of igniting an all-out civil war. Will he succeed in plunging South Africa into chaos\, safeguarding apartheid for perhaps years to come? \nIn The Plot to Save South Africa\, Justice Malala recounts the gripping story of the next nine days\, as the government and Mandela’s ANC seek desperately to restore the peace and root out just how far up into the country’s leadership the far-right plot goes. Told from the points of view of over a dozen characters on all sides of the conflict\, Malala offers an illuminating look at successful leadership in action and a terrifying reminder of just how close a country we think of today as a model for racial reconciliation came to civil war. \nJustice Malala’s new book The Plot to Save South Africa: The Week Mandela Averted Civil War and Forged a New Nation will be available for signing at the event. \nJustice Malala is one of South Africa’s foremost political commentators and the author of the #1 bestseller We Have Now Begun Our Descent: How to Stop South Africa Losing its Way. A longtime weekly columnist for The Times (South Africa)\, his work has also appeared in The Washington Post\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Guardian\, and Financial Times\, among other outlets. Malala is also the former publisher of The Sowetan and Sunday World.\n			\n				Register
