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.

Her main body of work\, a sequence of nearly 800 gouache images entitled Leben? or Theater? (Life? or Theatre?) and created while seeking refuge in the South of France\, is an ambitious fictive autobiography which deploys both images and text\, and incorporates a wide range of musical\, literary\, and cinematic references. The narrative\, informed by Salomon’s experiences as a cultured\, and assimilated German Jewish woman\, depicts a life lived in the shadow of Nazi persecution and a family history of suicide\, but also reveals moments of intense happiness and hope. Challenging the artistic conventions of Salomon’s time\, it remains almost impossible to categorize. This illustrated lecture by London-based art historian Monica Bohm-Duchen will explore the multiple aspects of this sophisticated\, complex\, and haunting work\, and will reflect on its relevance for our own time. \nMonica Bohm-Duchen is a London-based writer\, lecturer and exhibition organizer. In 1995 she curated a major international exhibition entitled After Auschwitz: Responses to the Holocaust in Contemporary Art. She was co-curator of Life? or Theatre? The Work of Charlotte Salomon\, shown at the Royal Academy of Arts\, London in 1998\, and co-edited an anthology of critical essays entitled Charlotte Salomon: Gender\, Trauma\, Creativity\, published by Cornell University Press in 2006. Her book\, Art and the Second World War was published by Lund Humphries in association with Princeton University Press\, in 2013/14. She is the founding Director of Insiders/Outsiders [Insiders Outsiders Festival]\, an ongoing celebration of the contribution of refugees from Nazi Europe to British culture and beyond.\n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/virtual-lecture-charlotte-salomon-a-life-before-and-after-auschwitz/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Virtual Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/monica.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221109T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221109T180000 DTSTAMP:20260505T065116 CREATED:20230809T081126Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T133013Z UID:10000590-1668011400-1668016800@hmh.org SUMMARY:Stories from Ukraine Webinar DESCRIPTION:In this 90-minute online exploration of stories from Ukraine\, Centropa will share user-friendly resources for teaching about Ukraine in the 20th and 21st centuries\, which include: \n\nCentropa’s interviews with over 200 elderly Jews in Ukraine\, conducted 2000-2009;\nold family photographs from before\, during\, and after the Holocaust from those interviewees;\nshort multimedia films based on the most compelling of those stories;\nphotographs from the current war taken by photojournalist Maks Levin;\nfirsthand accounts from Centropa’s Ukrainian teachers and students of their experiences during the current war.\nAll resources are free and easily accessible.\n\nParticipants will also learn about the Holocaust Museum Houston’s excellent learning in-person and online resources.

She is the nationally best-selling author of My (Underground) American Dream and Someone Like Me. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times\, TIME Magazine\, CNN\, CNBC\, Vogue and other outlets. Her newest book\, You Sound Like a White Girl: The Case for Rejecting Assimilation\, is a powerful dual polemic and manifesto against the myth that assimilation leads to happiness and belonging for immigrants in America. Instead\, she calls for a celebration of our uniqueness\, our origins\, our heritage\, and the beauty of the differences that actually make us Americans. Prior to becoming an author and immigrant rights activist\, Julissa built a successful career on Wall Street working for Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch and had seemingly achieved the American Dream—yet she was not part of what legally defined an American. Julissa immigrated to America from Mexico at the age of 11 and was undocumented for almost 15 years\, some of them spent rising to prominence on Wall Street. In order to help other young people in similar circumstances\, she co-founded the Ascend Educational Fund (AEF). AEF is a college scholarship and mentorship program for immigrant students in New York City\, regardless of their ethnicity\, national origin or immigration status. \nJulissa was named one of People en Español’s 25 Most Powerful Women of 2017 and 2022\, and 2018’s Woman of the Year by the City of Los Angeles. She is a leading voice in the fight for social justice\, immigrant rights and education equality. Julissa serves on the board of directors of the National Immigration Law Center. She was officially sworn in as an American citizen in August of 2014 and currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their two cats\, Nikko and Pancho. \nSpecial thanks to Amigos Meat Distributors\, LP for generously supporting the Museum’s Latinx Heritage Month Lecture Series. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/virtual-book-talk-you-sound-like-a-white-girl-the-case-for-rejecting-assimilation/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Latinx Heritage Month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/arce_web.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220728T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220728T190000 DTSTAMP:20260505T065116 CREATED:20230809T082351Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T133950Z UID:10000350-1659031200-1659034800@hmh.org SUMMARY:Virtual Talk | Pauli Murray: Roots of Human Rights DESCRIPTION:All times are listed in Central Time. \n”Pauli Murray (1910-1985) was an activist\, novelist\, educator\, lawyer\, feminist\, poet\, and Episcopal priest. Black\, queer\, and gender nonconforming\, Murray worked passionately to build bridges between the civil rights movement\, which she criticized for being male-dominated\, and women’s rights activists\, many of whom had serious blind spots on race.

But while the famous question\, “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” resonated in the halls of Congress\, security officials were posing another question at least as frequently\, if more discreetly: “Information has come to the attention of the Civil Service Commission that you are a homosexual. What comment do you care to make?“ \nHistorian David K. Johnson relates the frightening\, untold story of how\, during the Cold War\, homosexuals were considered as dangerous a threat to national security as Communists. Charges that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations were havens for homosexuals proved a potent political weapon\, sparking a “Lavender Scare” more vehement and long-lasting than McCarthy’s Red Scare. Relying on newly declassified documents\, years of research in the records of the National Archives and the FBI\, and interviews with former civil servants\, Johnson recreates the vibrant gay subculture that flourished in New Deal-era Washington and takes us inside the security interrogation rooms where thousands of Americans were questioned about their sex lives. The homosexual purges ended promising careers\, ruined lives\, and pushed many to suicide. But\, as Johnson also shows\, the purges brought victims together to protest their treatment\, helping launch a new civil rights struggle. \nThe event will be hosted virtually.  Admission is free and open to the public. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/the-lavender-scare-the-cold-war-persecution-of-gays-and-lesbians-in-the-federal-government/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Virtual Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/lavender_scare_for_web.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220111T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220111T190000 DTSTAMP:20260505T065117 CREATED:20230809T082214Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T141430Z UID:10000410-1641924000-1641927600@hmh.org SUMMARY:The Systematic Persecution of Uyghurs: Conversation with a Genocide Survivor DESCRIPTION:This event is a rebroadcast of the November 2021 presentation by the Campaign for Uyghurs held at Holocaust Museum Houston \nThe Uyghurs\, a Turkic Muslim group\, have been targeted by the Chinese government for decades. In recent years\, the government has escalated a campaign of persecution and mass detention in a sprawling system of forced labor camps and prisons.

The experiences of women in the Holocaust are varied and Centropa’s stories and photographs of women from different countries\, of all ages and diverse socio-economic backgrounds\, help you explore human themes through real life stories. \nIn this online\, 90-minute webinar\, both Centropa and Holocaust Museum Houston will share user-friendly materials about women in the Holocaust\, usable in online or in-class teaching. Participating teachers will return to class with specific activities for teaching these stories and 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 interviewed 1\,200 elderly Jews living in 15 European countries. We asked our respondents to tell us their entire life stories spanning the 20th c. as they showed us their old family photographs.

Kendi\, Author of "How to Be an Antiracist" DESCRIPTION:In recognizing the significance of antiracist programming\, HMH has invited Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, one of America’s foremost historians and leading antiracist scholars\, to speak about his 2019 book\, How to Be an Antiracist. Kendi’s presentation will be centered on defining what it means to be antiracist and what actions people can take to clearly see all forms of racism. \nKendi’s concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America—but even more fundamentally\, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Instead of working with the policies and system we have in place\, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like\, and how we can play an active role in building it. In his memoir\, Kendi weaves together an electrifying combination of ethics\, history\, law\, and science—including the story of his own awakening to antiracism—bringing it all together in a cogent\, accessible form. He begins by helping us rethink our most deeply held\, if implicit\, beliefs and our most intimate personal relationships (including beliefs about race and IQ and interracial social relations) and reexamines the policies and larger social arrangements we support. \nKendi is an American author\, professor\, antiracist activist\, and historian of race and discriminatory policy in America. In July 2020\, he assumed the position of director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University. Kendi was included in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required to receive the private Zoom link. \nThis virtual event is a recording of a conversation that took place on Thursday\, May 19\, 2021. \nGenerously sponsored by Dr. Anna Steinberger \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/a-conversation-with-dr-ibram-x-kendi-author-of-how-to-be-an-antiracist/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:LECTURE ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/kendi-for-web.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210616T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210616T190000 DTSTAMP:20260505T065117 CREATED:20230808T115946Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230808T165812Z UID:10000255-1623866400-1623870000@hmh.org SUMMARY:Curating Latinx Art at the National Portrait Gallery and Beyond with Dr. Taína Caragol DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Taína Caragol will address the growing presence of Latinx art in the National Portrait Gallery’s exhibitions and permanent collection in the last decade and its national impact. \nDr. Taína Caragol joined the National Portrait Gallery in 2013 as the first curator for Latinx art and history and in 2015\, her role was expanded to curator of painting and sculpture. Caragol has led the effort to increase the representation of Latinx historical figures and artists at the museum\, adding over 170 portraits to the collection and ensuring that Latinx contributions to American history and art are interwoven through the museum’s exhibitions and permanent collection. \nBefore joining the National Portrait Gallery\, Caragol was the curator of education at Museo de Arte de Ponce\, Puerto Rico\, where she organized the museum’s first international symposium on Pre-Raphaelite art and led a program of curatorial and artist talks with contemporary Puerto Rican artists.

Her dissertation “Boom and Dust: The Rise of Latin American and Latino Art in New York Exhibition Venues and Auction Houses\, 1970s–1980s\,” examined the incubating role of New York City’s alternative museums and art spaces and market during the “Latin American art boom” of the late 1980s. Caragol has published essays on Latinx and Latin American artists and has also written on the importance of archival preservation in contributing to a better understanding of the history of Latinx and Latin American art in the United States. Her essay on Kehinde Wiley’s portrait of President Barack Obama was published in The Obama Portraits in February 2020 (Princeton University Press / National Portrait Gallery). She holds an MA in French Studies from Middlebury College and a BA in Modern Languages from the University of Puerto Rico\, Río Piedras\, where she graduated magna cum laude. \nAdmission is free and open to the public.
