JUDITH HEUMANN VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM | Tuesday, March 22 at 7:00 p.m. CT

At the age of five, Judith Heumann was denied the right to attend public school because the wheelchair she used after contracting polio was deemed a “fire hazard.” Heumann channeled this early experience with discrimination, as well as many instances thereafter, into becoming a tireless advocate for the rights of disabled people. A leader in the disability rights movement, Heumann played a key role in advancing the independent living movement and implementing national legislation, including the Americans with Disabilities Act. Join us to hear how Judith Heumann has dedicated her life to advocacy and enacted positive change for millions of people living with disabilities in the United States.

Presented by The Meadows Foundation.

IN-PERSON AT THE MUSEUM | Tuesday, March 8 at 7:00 p.m. CT

In 2021, the Texas legislature passed House Bill 3979 and Senate Bill 3, effectively banning the teaching of Critical Race Theory in public schools. From their inception, these laws have been a political lightning rod, dividing parents, students, educators, and the broader community. Join us for a discussion around efforts to regulate the discussion of race and racism in public schools.

MENGELE: UNMASKING THE ANGEL OF DEATH IN-PERSON AT THE MUSEUM | Wednesday, February 23 at 7:00 p.m. CT One of the most notorious figures of the Holocaust, Josef Mengele epitomized a noble profession gone wrong. Amplified by popular culture’s fascination with him, Mengele has come to symbolize the Holocaust, particularly the gruesome medical experiments carried out in Nazi concentration camps. But how did the man become the legend?

Was Mengele the embodiment of evil, or a “normal” medical professional who made terrible choices? Join Dr. David Marwell, author of Mengele: Unmasking the Angel of Depth, for an in-depth look at Mengele’s life and his role in the Holocaust.

David G. Marwell, Ph.D. has had a distinguished career in public history. He spent nine years at the U.S. Department of Justice as Chief of Investigative Research, conducting research in support of the investigation and prosecution of Nazi war criminals in the United States, including the investigations of Klaus Barbie and Josef Mengele. He also served as the Director of the Berlin Document Center, a repository for captured personnel-related files of the Nazi Party, the Executive Director of the JFK Assassination Records Review Board, an independent federal agency established to identify, locate, and make available to the public all records relating to the assassination of President Kennedy, and the Associate Museum Director at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. In 2000, Marwell was appointed Director & CEO of the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City and led this important institution for fifteen years.

GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY: Julie Meetal Berman and Dr. Joseph M. Berman, MD, in memory of Les and Magda Mittelman.

Planning the Holocaust: The Impact of the Wannsee Conference VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM | Tuesday, February 1 at 12:00 p.m. CT On January 20, 1942, leaders from the Nazi Party and the German government met at a picturesque villa outside Berlin to plan the last phase of the Final Solution, a Nazi euphemism for the annihilation of European Jewry. Since June 1941, mobile killing squads had taken part in the mass murder of Jews in the East. However, the Wannsee Conference paved the way for the large-scale deportation of Europe’s Jews to the death camps in Poland. Join Matthias Haas, head of the education and research department and the deputy director of the House of the Wannsee Conference Memorial Site and Education Center, for a discussion of the impact of this conference on the course of the Holocaust.

Religion and Genocide VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM | Wednesday, June 29 at 7:00 p.m. CT Religion has played a role in genocides throughout history. It has marked victim groups, disguised bystanders, influenced perpetrators, and inspired Upstanders. The moral charge put forth by many religions has been embraced and ignored in equal measure.

Join us for a panel discussion on the impact on and influence of religion in genocide.

Courage and Compassion was created by the Go For Broke National Education Center, which aims to educate and inspire through the virtue and valor of World War II American veterans of Japanese ancestry. For the opening, Mitchell T. Maki, president and CEO of Go For Broke, will discuss the Center’s work, the creation of this exhibition, and the personal stories that inspired it.

Human Rights Past and Present: Reflecting on 80 Years since Japanese American Internment Thursday, February 10 | 6:15 p.m. Reception | 7:00 p.m. Program CT IN-PERSON AT THE MUSEUM AND VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM Following Japan’s bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Japanese Americans living on the West Coast were removed from their homes under the terms of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. Nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, were stripped of their civil rights and forced into incarceration camps across the western and southern United States.

Join us for a discussion on the origins and legacy of Executive Order 9066 and hear stories of the Japanese Americans affected by internment, including thousands who, despite being interned, volunteered for military service through the famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the 100th Infantry Battalion, and the Military Intelligence Service.

This program is presented in partnership with the American Jewish Committee of Dallas, the Japan-America Society of Dallas/Fort Worth, and the SMU Tower Center.

Japanese American Incarceration: Camps and Coerced Labor during World War II Wednesday, April 6 at 7:00 p.m. CT IN-PERSON AT THE MUSEUM AND VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM Between 1942 and 1945, the U.S. government wrongfully imprisoned tens of thousands of Japanese American citizens and profited from their labor, coercing them into harvesting crops, digging irrigation ditches, paving roads, and building barracks for little to no compensation – all in the name of national security. Join Stephanie D. Hinnershitz, author of Japanese American Incarceration: The Camps and Coerced Labor during World War II, as she discusses how the U.S. government used incarceration to address labor demands during World War II and how Japanese Americans responded to the stripping of their rights.

Traded to the Enemy: A Conversation with Wes Wesselhoeft Thursday, June 9 at 7:00 p.m. CT IN-PERSON AT THE MUSEUM AND VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM On December 12, 1942, the Crystal City Family Internment Camp opened in Crystal City, Texas. A direct result of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the incarceration of anyone deemed a threat to national security, Crystal City housed almost 5,000 “enemy aliens” of German, Italian, and Japanese descent between 1942 and 1945. At age 6, Wes Wesselhoeft, an American citizen born to German immigrants, was taken with his family from their Chicago home and put on a train to Crystal City. A year later, Wes and his family were sent to Germany, traded for American prisoners of war. Join us to hear about Wes’ internment in Crystal City, his life in Germany, and his eventual return to the United States.

The Lunch & Learn Series features semiannual programs on Holocaust history and human rights topics in an informal setting to encourage questions and discussion.

Highlights from the Archives: Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) IN-PERSON AT THE MUSEUM | Thursday, May 26 at 12:00 p.m. CT

In 1942, as the United States found itself embroiled in a world war, it faced a severe shortage of pilots. In response, two groups of women’s pilots formed, creating civilian groups to ferry planes overseas and free up male pilots for combat. These groups merged in 1943 and became the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs). More than 1,000 pilots, all volunteers, ultimately trained as WASPs and flew almost every type of military aircraft. Catherine Parker kept charts, instructions, and certificates from her time as a WASP, including her individual flight records.

Join Felicia Williamson, Director of Library and Archives, to learn more about WASPs through selected artifacts from the Catherine Parker Chatham Family Collection in the Museum’s archives.

The Japanese American World War II Experience 25

ON VIEW JANUARY 20 – JUNE 12, 2022 Following Japan’s bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Japanese Americans living on the West Coast were removed from their homes under the terms of Executive Order 9066 and forced into incarceration camps scattered across the western and southern United States.

Approximately 120,000 residents of Japanese ancestry, nearly two-thirds of whom were American citizens, were denied their constitutional rights and imprisoned without trial simply because they looked like the enemy.

Thousands of young Japanese American men, despite being interned, volunteered for the military, serving in the segregated Japanese American 100th Infantry Battalion, 442nd Regimental Combat Team as well as the Military Intelligence Service. For its size and length of service, the 100th/442nd is the most decorated unit in the history of the U.S. military.

Using images, audio, interactives, and testimony, Courage and Compassion provides a 360-degree perspective of the World War II experience of Americans of Japanese ancestry while exploring the relevance of these events today. The exhibition honors people across America who stood up to recognize Japanese Americans as friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens.
