SUMMARY:"Shortlisted" with authors Renee Knake Jefferson and Hannah Brenner Johnson
DESCRIPTION:In correlation with the exhibition Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg\, join Holocaust Museum Houston for a book talk with the authors of Shortlisted\, Renee Knake Jefferson and Hannah Brenner Johnson. \nIn 1981\, Sandra Day O’Connor became the first female justice on the United States Supreme Court after centuries of male appointments\, a watershed moment in the long struggle for gender equality. 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. Admission is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred – Antisemitism: Its History and Legacy
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. \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. He currently serves as Vice-President of the Association of Holocaust Organizations. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Jews of Spanish Heritage in the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:All times are listed in Central Time. \nThe Kalefs\, one of the Belgrade’s oldest families\, traced their roots back more than 300 years. 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. Join this webinar to learn more. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Three Minutes - A Lengthening
DESCRIPTION:Townspeople of the predominantly Jewish village of Nasielsk\, Poland in 1938 as seen in Bianca Stigter’s Three Minutes -A Lengthening.Image courtesy of Family Affair Films\, © US Holocaust Memorial Museum.Holocaust Museum Houston is proud to present this film screening as part of the ERJCC Houston Jewish Film Festival. \n“Three Minutes – A Lengthening” presents a home movie shot by David Kurtz in 1938 in a Jewish town in Poland and tries to postpone its ending. As long as we are watching\, history is not over yet. The three minutes of footage\, mostly in color\, are the only moving images left of the Jewish inhabitants of Nasielsk before the Holocaust. The existing three minutes are examined to unravel the human stories hidden in the celluloid. The footage is imaginatively edited to create a film that lasts more than an hour. Different voices enhance the images. Glenn Kurtz\, grandson of David Kurtz\, provides his knowledge of the footage. Maurice Chandler\, who appears in the film as a boy\, shares his memories. Actress Helena Bonham Carter narrates the film essay. \nGlenn Kurtz\, who discovered the film and had it restored will join us by zoom after the screening for a talkback. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Book Talk: "Plunder" with Menachem Kaiser
DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston for the first lecture in the Genocide Awareness Month lecture series\, with the author of Plunder\, Menachem Kaiser. \nMenachem Kaiser’s brilliantly told story\, woven from improbable events and profound revelations\, is set in motion when the author takes up his Holocaust-survivor grandfather’s former battle to reclaim the family’s apartment building in Sosnowiec\, Poland. 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. Admission is free\, but advanced registration is required. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Shared Histories\, Shared Stories: El Rinche Vol 2. 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. Currently\, he is working on finishing this series of YA novels. Book Two is out now. His short story collection\, The Road to Llorona Park\, won the 2016 NACCS Tejas Best Fiction Award and was listed as one of the top 8 Latinx books in 2016 by NBC News. He has a chapter in Reverberations of Racial Violence: Critical Reflections on Borderlands History discussing intergenerational trauma for Mexican Americans in the Rio Grande Valley. \nAs an educational activist\, Carmona serves as a board member of the national award-winning organization\, Refusing To Forget\, which researches and promotes the history of violence against Mexican Americans and Latinos in the early 20th Century and beyond. Currently he serves as the Chair of the NACCS Tejas Foco Committee on Implementing MAS in PreK-12 Education in Texas. He was a leader in getting the TEKS-based Mexican American Studies High School Course approved by the Texas State Board of Education\, which is the only State Board approved Mexican American Studies course in the United States to date. He served on Responsible Ethnic Studies Textbook committee that was awarded the “float like a butterfly\, sting like a bee” award for excellence in educational leadership from the Mexican American School Board Association (MASBA). \nThis event is in person.

SUMMARY:The Jewish Heroes of Warsaw: The Afterlife of the Revolt
