VIRTUAL PROGRAM GUIDE

JUNE-AUGUST 2020

T

here is no denying that our world looks different now. We must weigh every decision we make more carefully than ever before. Something as simple as visiting a family member, a restaurant, or a Museum isn’t as easy as it used to be. These are uncertain times and things are changing. We are proud, however, to share that one thing that has stayed the same is our fervent desire to spread our mission. At the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, our mission is to teach the history of the Holocaust and advance human rights to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference. One of the ways we bring our mission to our community and beyond is through our programming.

We are so proud of the work everyone at the Museum has done to continue to provide you with all the programs you’re used to and to also add events that help us reach an even wider audience. What makes us prouder still is that all these programs can be experienced safely and virtually from the comfort of your own home. The Museum may not be physically open and available to host programming, but thanks to today’s amazing technology, you can still interact with our mission in new and innovative ways.

These past few months have been filled with hardships and uncertainties, but we are glad to be able to continue to offer you all you’ve come to expect from the Museum. Despite adversity, we have become stronger as a community within the Museum and beyond it. This strength comes not only from being able to continue to provide Museum programming and resources, but also from the support of our Members, donors, volunteers, and more. We cannot wait to open our doors once again to you all. Until then, we hope you will take advantage of all the wonderful programs outlined in this guide.

- Mary Pat Higgins, Museum President and CEO | Frank Risch, Board Chair

6/15 – The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom Corrie Ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker who became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Nazi concentration camps, and one of the most remarkable evangelists of the twentieth century. In World War II, she and her family risked their lives to help Jews escape from the Nazis, and for their work they were tested in the infamous concentration camps.

Ten Boom survived to tell the story of how faith ultimately triumphs over evil.

7/20 – The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris In 1942, Lale Sokolov arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Waiting in line to be tattooed, terrified and shaking, was a young woman. For Lale, it was love at first sight. And he was determined not only to survive himself, but to ensure she did too.

8/3 - Hana’s Suitcase: A Quest To Solve a Holocaust Mystery by Karen Levine In March 2000, Fumiko Ishioka, the curator of a small Holocaust education center in Tokyo, received an empty suitcase from the museum at Auschwitz. On the outside, in white paint, were the words “Hana Brady, May 16, 1931, Orphan.” Fumiko and the children at the center were determined to find out who Hana was and what happened to her all those years ago, leading them to a startling and emotional discovery. The dual narrative intertwines Fumiko’s international journey to find the truth about Hana Brady’s fate with Hana’s own compelling story of her life in a quiet Czech town, which is shattered by the arrival of the Nazis, tearing apart the family she loves.
