Sessions will cover research methods; source documents; regional history; and turning all that information into a shareable story. Create an engaging narrative that you can share with your family and friends. \nIn part one of this series\, attendees will learn how to find and utilize the sources of information that document family histories. Led by the manager of Houston Public Library’s Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research\, Susan Kaufman\, this document based research session will be the foundation for the rest of the series. Attendees are encouraged to narrow the focus of their research to one person rather than searching for a whole family. \nRegister today for all three sessions or choose from individual sessions. Registration fees are $10 per session\, $7 for HMH and GHJGS members. \nAfter you register\, your session leader will be reaching out via email with materials and information to help prepare for the workshop. \nThings to bring: \n\nLaptops\nCompleted pedigree chart recommended\nFamily history documents (passenger lists\, census\, vital records\, naturalizations\, etc.)\nNotebook and pencils\nWe also recommend creating a free familysearch account – www.familysearch.org URL:https://hmh.org/event/canceled-the-story-of-you-piecing-together-your-family-history-part-1/ LOCATION:Boniuk Library CATEGORIES:GENEALOGY WORKSHOP ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/genealogy_for_web.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20200405T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20200405T130000 DTSTAMP:20260602T134947 CREATED:20230802T142819Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T142826Z UID:10000147-1586088000-1586091600@hmh.org 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. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/creating-possibility-disallowing-hatred-antisemitism-today/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Virtual Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/creating-possibility-for-web-3.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20200408T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20200408T153000 DTSTAMP:20260602T134947 CREATED:20230809T082307Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230809T121910Z UID:10000382-1586358000-1586359800@hmh.org SUMMARY:Virtual Butterfly Workshop DESCRIPTION:In 1996\, “The Butterfly\,” a poem written by Pavel Friedmann in the Terezin Concentration Camp\, inspired Museum staff and supporters to create the Butterfly Project\, facilitating a connection between a new generation of children with the children who perished in World War II.

Interweaving readings from her new book\, “Who Speaks for Us Here\,” with discussion\, Contreras Schwartz will captivate audiences with an exploration of poetry and art as tools for nonviolent resistance and for healing. \nNewly released from Skull + Wind Press\, “Who Speaks for Us Here” uses poetry to examine the divide between individual and public bodies as it documents narratives of those usually silenced\, including people with mental illness\, sex workers\, women who are trafficked\, and children in custody while it also unpacks the history of her family\, especially the women thereof. A poet\, activist\, and mother\, Contreras Schwartz shines in this stirring collection as she speaks directly to so many facets of our American moment. \nFollowing the event there will be a book signing for “Who Speaks for Us Here” and a meet and greet opportunity with the author. \nABOUT LESLIE CONTRERAS SCHWARTZ \nLeslie Contreras Schwartz is the fourth Houston Poet Laureate\, serving from 2019-2021.
