September - December 2020 Virtual Program Guide | Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum

VIRTUAL PROGRAM

GUIDE 2020

SEPTEMBER - DECEMBER

We are pleased to announce our September through December schedule of virtual programs. This program guide offers some of your favorite series such as Funk Family Upstander Speaker Series, Civil Discourse, History Highlights, iRead Book Club, Movie Monday, and our newest series, Crucial Conversations.

These programs are designed to educate, inform, and spark conversation.

The month of September in particular marks a momentous time in our Museum’s history. On September 18, 2019, we opened the doors to the new Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, a dream 40 years in the making.

While the world looks much different than it did one year ago, we are fortunate that we have been able to reopen our doors to the public and can continue to share our mission to teach the history of the Holocaust and advance human rights to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference. In the face of adversity, we adapted our programming and resources to offer virtual access and are proud to continue to offer these virtual options.

Our temporary closure also came amid a new wave of social activism in our country. That is why we were excited to produce a virtual version of our current special exhibition, The Fight for Civil Rights in the South. The special exhibition is still on view through January 12, 2021 for anyone who wants to see these powerful photos and artifacts in person.

We look forward to seeing you soon, whether virtually at one of our programs or in person at the Museum.

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

CIVIL DISCOURSE SERIES DISCUSSION PANEL Presented by The Meadows Foundation

Social Media and Society Thursday, October 1 at 7:00 pm CT

In today’s society, news and information increasingly circulate across platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Join us for a conversation addressing the critical issues surrounding social media. In a space where misinformation and bias are so common, how do we engage with each other in a civil and informed manner?

Is it their responsibility to regulate or call attention to misinformation or bias in posts, images, and ads, or is it up to users to engage with social media critically?

11/2 – Neighbors by Jan Gross On a summer day in 1941 in Nazi-occupied Poland, half of the town of Jedwabne brutally murdered the other half: 1,600 men, women, and children - all but seven of the town’s Jews. In this shocking and compelling study, historian Jan Gross pieces together eyewitness accounts as well as physical evidence into a comprehensive reconstruction of the horrific July day remembered well by locals but hidden to history. Gross’s investigation sheds light on how Jedwabne’s Jews came to be murdered - not by faceless Nazis, but by people who knew them well.

Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments and is enlisted to use his talent to track down the resistance. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, Doerr illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another.

11/23 - Year Zero Graphic Novel Year Zero, a graphic novel created for the Museum’s Ten Stages of Genocide Gallery, tells the story of the Cambodian Genocide. From 1975 through 1978, the Khmer Rouge regime led a communist revolution in Cambodia. They wanted to turn the country into “a classless society” of peasant farmers. Led by Pol Pot, they targeted Cambodians they considered enemies of the revolution. 1.5 to 3 million people were murdered or died from starvation. The graphic novel highlights the stage of Symbolization in the genocide, in which perpetrators used symbols to identify and target groups of people.
