Have you ever been questioned about who you are based on how you look? Mazal Aklum, a Jewish black woman living in Israel, has and she finds the experience frustrating: "I always need to convince others and explain how it's possible to be Ethiopian and also Jewish." To broaden people's understanding of diversity among ...Jews, Aklum aims to share the store of Ethiopian Jews, including that which brought her parents to settle in Israel in the 1980s.Devamı

My grandfather was a survivor and last year I requested from the ITS and recived copies of documents about him. Most of them are in German and I am trying to translate them the best I can but most of it I do not know. Could I e-mail scaned copies of the documents to the Museum so they could be translated? Thanks!

Kelly Alder-Janes I've been to Europe to study the Holocaust (Majdanek, Belzec, Ravensbruk and more) and I've never forgotten what I saw and what I felt. I hope to one day make it to Washington to see the museum. It is so important that we never forget what took place. Thank you for working so hard to make sure we don't.
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum November 9th will mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht - The November 1938 pogroms. In this interview with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Holocaust survivor Susan (Strauss) Taube shares her memories of those events.
Rya Rosenzweig What a terrific museum. I am so proud to be a member of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and am proud that my parents both made video tapes on file at the archive library.

Thanks to all who commented on last week's discussion of online hate
speech. Whether you supported banning it or were for free speech
without conditions, it's apparent that we face hate propaganda daily.
What's more is that it comes in many forms. David Pilgrim, founder of
the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State U., believes "...the most effective
propaganda" is the kind that people don't see as propaganda, such as a
syrup bottle or an ashtray. Think about the last object you encountered
that promoted a hateful stereotype. How we can make such propaganda
less powerful?Devamı

On November 9–10, 1938, the Nazis staged vicious pogroms—state sanctioned, anti-Jewish riots—against the Jewish community of Germany. These came to be known as Kristallnacht (now commonly translated as “Night of Broken Glass”), a reference to the untold numbers of broken windows of synagogues, Jewish-owned stores, comm...unity centers, and homes plundered and destroyed during the pogroms. Encouraged by the Nazi regime, the rioters burned or destroyed 267 synagogues, vandalized or looted 7,500 Jewish businesses, and killed at least 91 Jewish people. They also damaged many Jewish cemeteries, hospitals, schools, and homes as police and fire brigades stood aside. Kristallnacht was a turning point in history. The pogroms marked an intensification of Nazi anti-Jewish policy that would culminate in the Holocaust—the systematic, state-sponsored murder of Jews.Devamı
