SUMMARY:Film Screening | A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				In October of 2018\, the Tree of Life – Or L’Simcha Synagogue in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania suffered the deadliest antisemitic attack in US history. “A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting” tells the story of the events on that harrowing day\, and how a broken community attempted to find some semblance of healing and action following the tragedy. \nJoin Holocaust Museum Houston\, along with family members of victims of this attack\, for a screening of this powerful film. This event is in partnership with the Texas Jewish Historical Society and the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) Southwest Regional Office. The ADL will hold a short clinic afterwards on how communities can prevent/respond to the hateful rhetoric that led to this catastrophe. \nPrior to the event will be a brief catered reception\, where a relative of victims will be in attendance.

SUMMARY:The Shoes on the Danube: An interactive lesson exploring the memorialization of a massacre
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				All times are in Central Standard Time. \nJoin Holocaust Museum Houston\, Centropa\, and the Holocaust Center for Humanity for a free webinar for teachers. Through this interactive webinar\, educators will learn how to teach about memory and the memorialization of historic events; engage students in a geography-based approach around what the Holocaust was and how it was humanly possible; and explore how personal stories—coupled with geography—can inform our learning about the Holocaust in specific places. \nUsing Google Earth\, film clips\, and primary source interview excerpts from Centropa\, participants will study the placement of the memorial\, explore its efficacy as a public remembrance\, and discuss what it teaches us about the actions of Hungarians against their Jewish neighbors. Attendees will receive all materials needed to teach this lesson\, which they will be able to use to build context for reading books such as The Yellow Star House\, by Paul Regelbrugge\, one of the presenters. These resources are appropriate and desinged for grades 6-12. \nCentropa\, a historical institute based in Vienna\, interviewed 1\,200 elderly Jews living in 15 European countries. Our respondents shared their entire life stories spanning the 20th c. as they showed us their old family photographs\, which we digitized. Centropa offers teachers primary sources (annotated photos\, interviews)\, and secondary sources (short films\, podcasts\, websites) teachers use to create projects for teaching digital literacy\, critical thinking\, and global awareness. All resources are free. \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.
