SUMMARY:Forgotten Fighters: Women on the WWII Front Lines
DESCRIPTION:Educator Workshop \nAt the Virginia Holocaust Museum \nJoin us for an immersive workshop exploring an often-overlooked chapter of World War II history\, led by the author of “The Night Sparrow\,” Shelly Sanders.  Discover the stories of Jewish women who fought against the Nazis in the Soviet Union—the only nation to permit women in combat roles during the war. Serving as snipers\, pilots\, navigators\, gunners\, and interpreters\, these women faced both the brutality of war and antisemitism within their own ranks\, as well as denial from Soviet authorities who refused to acknowledge Jewish persecution. \nDrawing on her historical novel “The Night Sparrow\,” inspired by true events and people—the author will guide participants through this hidden history. The novel follows Elena Bruskina\, a Jewish university student who joins the Red Army as a sniper after her family is murdered\, only to be ordered to give up her rifle and become an interpreter\, pulling her into a secret hunt for a high-ranking Nazi. \nParticipants will develop classroom-ready lesson plans using primary sources\, examine how Soviet propaganda mobilized women and manipulated emotion\, and make connections to misleading news today. Educators will leave with practical resources to strengthen students’ critical thinking\, research\, presentation\, and writing skills. \nThis workshop is free for educators and includes: \n\nBreakfast\, Coffee\, and Lunch\nClassroom resources and a copy of “The Night Sparrow”\nA certificate of attendance\n\nRegister HERE! \nDeadline for Registration is March 3rd\, 2026 \nA limited number of scholarships are available for teachers 120+ miles from Richmond.  Scholarships are to help cover travel\, housing\, and meals.  Please contact Megan Ferenczy mferenczy@vaholocaust.org to apply. \n  \n

SUMMARY:"Unbroken":  Film Screening and Q/A with Director\, Beth Lane
DESCRIPTION:At the Virginia War Memorial \n“UnBroken” is the miraculous true story of the seven Weber siblings\, ages 6-18\, who evaded certain capture and death\, and ultimately escaped Nazi Germany relying solely on their youthful bravado and the kindness of strangers\, following their mother’s incarceration and murder at Auschwitz. \nAfter being hidden in a laundry hut by a benevolent German farmer\, the children spent two years on their own in war torn Germany. Emboldened by their father’s mandate that they ‘always stay together\,’ the children used their own cunning instincts to fight through hunger\, loneliness\, rape\, bombings and fear. Climactically separated from their father\, the siblings are forced to declare themselves as orphans in order to escape to a new life in America. Unbeknownst to them\, this salvation would become what would finally tear them apart\, not to be reunited for another 40 years. \nFilmmaker Beth Lane\, daughter of the youngest Weber sibling\, embarks on a quest to retrace their steps\, seeking answers to long-held questions about her family’s survival. The film examines the journey of the Weber family as told through conversations with living siblings – now in their eighties and nineties – while Beth and her crew road trip across Germany\, following the courageous\, tumultuous\, and harrowing path taken by her family over seventy years ago. \n“UnBroken” is Beth Lane’s feature directorial debut\, and it is both a professional milestone and a personal quest to immortalize the incredible story of the Weber siblings’ survival as the only family of seven Jewish siblings living in Nazi Germany known to have survived and emigrated together. \nThis is a free event\, but registration is required. Seating is general admission. Click HERE to register.

SUMMARY:How Jews Lived: Life Before the Holocaust: Educator Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the Virginia Holocaust Museum and Centropa for a day of professional development focused on prewar Jewish life.. \nWhen teaching about the Holocaust\, it is not enough to teach how Jews were murdered; we must also teach students how Jews lived. Likewise\, it’s not enough to teach Nazi stereotypes of Jews; we must educate students about the diversity of Jewish life in Europe before the war and give them an accurate picture of the group most targeted by the Nazis. Using the 1200 interviews and 23\,000 digitized photographs of Jewish life in 15 Central and Eastern European countries collected by Centropa (www.centropa.org)\, we will explore the diversity of prewar European Jewish life (religious\, social\, economic\, geographic)\, and the historical context from which Jews in Western\, Central\, and Eastern Europe faced the Nazis and their collaborators. Teachers will return to your students with a variety of resources that will help you teach about how Jews lived. \nThis workshop is free for educators and includes: \n\nBreakfast\, Coffee\, and Lunch\nEducator Resources\nA certificate of attendance\n\nRegister here! \nDeadline for Registration is November 6th \nAbout Centropa:  Centropa is a non-profit\, Jewish historical institute dedicated to preserving 20th century Jewish family stories and photos from Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans\, and disseminating these stories and photos through films\, books and exhibitions.  Centropa offices are in Budapest\, Hamburg and Washington\, DC.

SUMMARY:History of European Antisemitism: Online Educator Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the Virginia Holocaust Museum and the Institute for Curriculum Services for an online workshop focused on examining the history of European antisemitism. \nWhere does antisemitism come from? This is a question that students frequently ask when learning about the Holocaust. Antisemitism (anti-Judaism before the modern era) is over 2\,000 years old\, but courses that cover the Holocaust often do not consider pre-20th century history. This session outlines the larger context of antisemitism throughout Europe and offers the content teachers need to help students understand the origins and history of the “longest hatred”. The session will examine the four intersecting historical forms of antisemitism – religious\, economic\, socio-political\, and racial. \nThis workshop is free for educators\, and a certificate of attendance is emailed upon completion. \nRegister by clicking HERE. \nDeadline for Registration is October 9th\, 2025. \nQuestions?  Please contact Megan Ferenczy mferenczy@vaholocaust.org  \n

SUMMARY:Virginia Holocaust Museum Presents: Carolyn Enger’s The Mischlinge Exposé
DESCRIPTION:Internationally celebrated American pianist Carolyn Enger will present her powerful live documentary\, The Mischlinge Exposé\, at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday\, September 14\, in the Virginia Holocaust Museum’s historic Choral Synagogue. \nThe date is significant because on September 15\, 1935\, the Nazi regime enacted two pivotal race laws—the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor. These laws formally defined and discriminated against individuals known as Mischlinge—a derogatory term for those with one or two Jewish grandparents\, considered neither fully Jewish nor fully German under Nazi ideology. \nThe Mischlinge Exposé explores this little-known aspect of Holocaust history through a compelling blend of live piano performance\, video\, and audio testimony. Enger shares the stories of her father and godmother\, both of whom were labeled Mischling by the Nazis. Their testimonies are interwoven with Enger’s performance of works by salon-era composers who converted to Christianity in the years before the war\, as well as pieces that grapple with identity in the postwar era. \nThrough this deeply personal lens\, Enger examines what it meant to exist between worlds in early 20th-century Germany—and invites audiences to reflect on universal themes of identity\, inclusion\, and empathy. \nEvent Details:\n📅 Sunday\, September 14\n🕔 5:00 p.m.\n📍 Choral Synagogue\, Virginia Holocaust Museum\n🎟️ Free and open to the public\n🪑 Seating is first-come\, first-served\n📌 Advance registration is required and must be completed at least 24 hours in advance. No walk-ins will be admitted. \nEnger maintains an active performance schedule across two continents\, with recent appearances at the National Gallery in Oslo\, Baruch College in New York\, the Museum of Jewish Heritage\, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C.

SUMMARY:Kerrie Taber\, the author of “Quarantining Hate” at the JCC’s 5400 Club
