During the German occupation\, Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps.  Defying the occupying German forces\, and protecting fellow citizens\, spontaneous and dramatic rescue operations were conducted to save thousands of Jewish lives.  First hand personal accounts also convey the extraordinary ways  Swedish diplomats leveraged their political position to save Jews from within Hungary and Germany. \nJoin us for a screening of the film followed by a talkback with Director Suzannah Warlick.  \n\n \n RSVP URL:https://hmh.org/event/passage-to-sweden-film-screening-and-director-talkback/ LOCATION:Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater on the Mady and Ken Kades Stage ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/Trailer-image-1024x683-1.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260310T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260310T120000 DTSTAMP:20260404T130718 CREATED:20260306T195456Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260306T195507Z UID:10001024-1773140400-1773144000@hmh.org SUMMARY:And a Child Shall Lead DESCRIPTION:Please join Holocaust Museum Houston for the final presentation of Riverwood Middle School’s award winning production of And a Child Shall Lead by Michael Slade.  \n  URL:https://hmh.org/event/and-a-child-shall-lead/ LOCATION:Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater on the Mady and Ken Kades Stage ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/Untitled-design-1-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260312T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260312T120000 DTSTAMP:20260404T130718 CREATED:20260225T175503Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260226T171544Z UID:10001017-1773313200-1773316800@hmh.org SUMMARY:Houston Grand Opera Presents - Music of the Butterfly: A Story of Hope DESCRIPTION:Storybook Opera\, Music of the Butterfly: A Story of Hope tells the true story of young Renée\, whose love of music and memories of butterflies in her Hungarian childhood sustain her through the darkness of the Holocaust.

Instead\, it’s widely believed “Jews went to their deaths like sheep to the slaughter.”  Filmed in Poland\, Lithuania\, Latvia\, Israel\, and the U.S.\, Resistance – They Fought Back provides a much-needed corrective to this myth of Jewish passivity. There were uprisings in ghettos large and small\, rebellions in death camps\, and thousands of Jews fought Nazis in the forests. Everywhere in Eastern Europe\, Jews waged campaigns of non-violent resistance against the Nazis.”\n \nStudents can receive a free ticket by emailing a picture of their student ID to mvance@hmh.org.\n \n RSVP URL:https://hmh.org/event/resistance/ LOCATION:Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/Resistance.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260412T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260412T203000 DTSTAMP:20260404T130718 CREATED:20260320T193907Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260320T194055Z UID:10001030-1776018600-1776025800@hmh.org SUMMARY:Author Talk with Dr. Pamela Toler\, Author of The Dragon From Chicago DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston for a night with Dr. Pamela Toler\, Author of The Dragon from Chicago: The Untold Story of an American Reporter in Nazi Germany. \n \n \n \n \n“Today we face an alarming upsurge in the spread of misinformation and attempts by powerful figures to discredit facts so they can seize control of our political and cultural narratives. These are threats American journalist Sigrid Schultz knew all too well. The Chicago Tribune’s Berlin bureau chief and primary foreign correspondent for Central Europe from 1925 to January 1941\, Schultz witnessed Hitler’s rise to power and was one of the first reporters—male or female—to warn American readers of the growing dangers of Nazism.  She was one of the last to leave Berlin before it was too late.\n \n \n \n \nIn The Dragon From Chicago\, historian Pamela Toler tells the story of Schultz’s years spent courageously reporting the news from Berlin\, from the revolts of 1919 through the Nazi rise to power and Allied air raids over Berlin in 1941. At a time when women reporters rarely wrote front-page stories\, Schultz regularly  reported the truth about Nazi Germany in the face of censorship and the threat of expulsion\, internment\, or death.\nThe Nazis called Schultz “that dragon from Chicago.” One of her fellow correspondents called her “Adolph Hitler’s greatest enemy.” Schultz herself claimed to be “just a reporter.” Her story is a powerful account of one woman standing up for truth in an era marked by the spread of disinformation and propaganda spawned by hate.”\n \n \n \n \nBooks will be available for purchase by credit card.
