Shortly after the Nazi occupation of Poland, Reuven’s girlfriend Zelda and her parents disappear, and Reuven’s father is forbidden from selling his handmade artisan umbrellas in his shop. One by one the Jews of Krakow are evicted from their homes and stripped of their rights, and the family realizes that escape is the only option. Through their fierce struggle against the terror of the Holocaust, Reuven’s determination to find Zelda melds the primal forces of love and violence into a powerful elixir of hope that offers them their only path to survival.

Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence, will lead the discussion.

Please join the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County for our annual Yom HaShoah commemoration. In partnership with Congregation Tifereth Israel and North Country Reform Temple, we invite both the local and broader community to unite in remembering the over six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust as well as the millions of others who died at the hands of the Nazi Regime.

Join us as we bear witness to Holocaust Survivor Bertha Strauss' testimony.

HMTC thanks Rabbi Churgel and Cantor Gitlin for their support and participation in this event.

In Beneath the Lightless Sky, husband and father Ignacy Chiger (1906-1975) recounts his family’s desperate struggle to evade Nazi persecution in wartime Lvov, Poland, where they hid in the city’s underground sewers with the help of an unlikely hero.
    When the liquidation of the Lvov ghetto left the Chigers with no place to hide, they sought refuge beneath the city, disappearing into the filth and darkness of its sewer system. There, they survived for 14 months, clinging to life in unimaginable conditions.
     Deeply moving and historically significant, Beneath the Lightless Sky is an essential addition to Holocaust literature – a harrowing memoir of survival, resilience, and the unimaginable horrors of war.

In-Depth Discussion with Doron Keren / Moderated by Dana Arschin, HMTC

Doron Keren is the grandson of Ignacy Chiger and the son of Krystyna Chiger Keren, author of The Girl in the Green Sweater. Doron Keren is an active member of HMTC’s 2nd-generation survivor community and is responsible for unearthing his grandfather’s 1975 memoir. This years-long project ensures that his family’s legacy lives on and that his grandfather’s own words can be read by audiences over fifty years after they were first written.

Hannah and Hilde, old childhood friends, led simple lives before the Nazis came, but once they took over, Hannah was sent to a concentration camp and Hilde went to work for Hitler. These two young women would meet again over Hilde’s audacious plan to make a propaganda film at Theresienstadt, where Hannah is imprisoned. While Hilde wants to show the world that the Jews are being treated well, Hannah is determined to show the world the truth.  Join us for a story about the power of propaganda and the great force of resistance.

Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence, will lead the discussion.

Symphony of Hope will feature Violins of Hope, a collection of restored instruments owned and played by Jewish musicians before and during the Holocaust — some performed in ghettos and concentration camps, others belonging to musicians who did not survive. Paganini Competition winner Simon Zhu will appear as principal soloist, with rising star Jeffrey Dokken conducting. The program also includes a major work by Long Island composer Alexey Shor, joined by a local choir for an evening of reflection, resilience, and hope. This special performance celebrates the power of music to unite people of all faiths and backgrounds.

Proceeds from the evening will support:

• Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) – a vital nonprofit that educates students and the community about the Holocaust while promoting tolerance, respect, and human rights for all.

• The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance – a leading institution of artistic collaboration, welcoming Jewish, Muslim, and Christian students to learn and create together in the heart of Israel.

• Molloy University – an independent, Catholic university rooted in the Dominican tradition, dedicated to truth, service, and ethical leadership.
  

How We Got Here: Diaspora in the Corners of the World

How did Jews end up in so many different places? In this installment of the How We Got Here webinar series, Gilad Avrahami and Trevor Stern will bring you on a tour of the Jewish communities that have thrived – often for many centuries – in places such as Henan (China), Maharashtra (India), Curaçao (Caribbean), Gondar (Ethiopia), and Bukhara (Uzbekistan). Often more isolated from the international Jewish community, these groups faced specific challenges and developed distinctive practices that enabled them to preserve their Jewishness. The accelerating dissolution of these communities raises important questions about the choice between remaining in a “diaspora” at home and joining in the “return” to somewhere far away.

Conversational, educational, and thought-provoking, How We Got Here connects current events to the longer histories behind them, helping us understand not just what’s happening, but why.

Join us on Thursday, March 12 at noon (Eastern) for this live webinar.

In recognition of International Women’s Month, please join us for a screening of the documentary, Rosie the Riveter, and a discussion revolving around the impact of WWII-era female workers leading to the eventual women’s liberation movement and the iconic slogan, “We Have Come a Long Way, Baby.”

Drawing Parallels with Simon Deng

Location: Inn at Great Neck, 30 Cutter Mill Rd, Great Neck, NY
Simon Deng is a South Sudanese-American human rights activist and former child slave who has dedicated his life to fighting modern-day slavery and promoting freedom. Enslaved at age nine during a militia raid, he escaped after three years and later found refuge in the United States, where he became a prominent voice against human rights abuses in Sudan and Darfur. Known for organizing the “Sudan Freedom Walk” from New York to Washington, DC, and similar marches worldwide, Deng uses his personal story to raise awareness and inspire action. In recent years, he has also emerged as a passionate advocate for Israel and the release of hostages held by Hamas, drawing parallels between his own experiences and contemporary struggles for justice and liberation.

When an anonymous postcard arrives in the mail along with the usual winter holiday cards, the lives of everyone in the close Parisian family are suddenly sent into a tailspin. On it are the names of four family members murdered at Auschwitz decades ago. But who sent it, and why? Thus, begins a journey that becomes a compelling investigation into family secrets, a poignant tale of mothers and daughters, and a luminous story of a Jewish family devastated by the Holocaust yet partially restored through the power of storytelling.

Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence, will lead the discussion.

How does religion shape political power—and when does it become inseparable from the state itself? In this installment of the How We Got Here webinar series, Gilad Avrahami and Trevor Stern examine cases in the Middle East where religious ideology is a central driver of government action and political conflict. We’ll explore how religious goals inform state behavior, protest responses, foreign policy, and the actions of influential militant groups. Though often considered taboo, discussing religion - from the personal to the public - is indispensable for understanding why there are those who choose to sacrifice stability in favor of warfare.

Conversational, educational, and thought-provoking,How We Got Hereconnects current events to the longer histories behind them, helping us understand not just what’s happening, but why.

NOTICE: THIS EVENT WAS MOVED FROM SUN JAN 25 TO SUN FEB 1

Please join us for a meaningful afternoon of remembrance and reflection as the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center recognizes International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2026. This year, we commemorate this day with the unveiling of our latest special exhibition: The Second-Generation Photo Exhibit: A Unique and Shared Legacy of Collective Strength and Resilience.

This power exhibition showcases our community of second-generation Holocaust survivors like never before, as descendants of Holocaust survivors gather to remember those whose resilience and strength allowed them to survive the greatest atrocity of mankind, and build new lives for themselves here in New York.

On display until April 2026, this exhibition is not to be missed. We invite you to join us in this act of collective remembrance as we honor the past and commit to fostering tolerance and understanding for future generations.

Light refreshments will be provided.

On a dark day in 1940, Adam Paskow is imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto, where the Jews of the city are being held captive by the Nazis to await their uncertain fate.  When he is approached in secret to join a group determined to document the truth of life in the ghetto, a truth they hope will survive even if they do not, he readily agrees.  But as conditions worsen beyond anything he has experienced, he becomes determined to find a way to escape and save those he loves.  But is it even possible?  And if so, at what cost?

Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence, will lead the discussion.

Exhibit Opening: Sonja's Legacy [In-Person]

Please join us for the opening of HMTC's latest temporary exhibition: Sonja's Legacy. 

Sonja's Legacy is an unusual collection of artwork and images from the Holocaust. The colorful paintings and skillful drawings were created by Sonja Fischerova, a young girl from Prague, while imprisoned in the Terezin concentration camp from 1942-1944. She and her mother and sister, and later her Bauhaus-trained art teacher Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, were deported to Auschwitz and killed by the Nazis.

The images in Sonja's Legacy, like the words in Anne Frank's diary, provide a unique humanistic way for children and adults to learn about the Holocaust and tolerance. The colorful exhibit conveys hope and life. Yet it is set against the tragic end of her short life and of the last three generations of her family that had been rooted in Prague for centuries, and the millions who perished in the Holocaust.

Sonja's Legacy Foundation (SLF) was founded by relatives of Sonja to educate and teach about the Holocaust using the art of Sonja Fischerova, her lif,e and the lives of her relatives. This exhibition will be on display at HMTC through spring 2026 with the goal of sharing the deeply personal, moving, and tragic experiences of Sonja Fischerova with thousands of students and adults.

Light refreshments will be provided for the exhibition's opening.

For more information on Sonja's Legacy Foundation, visit them here.

Author and owner of Theodore's Books, former Congressman Steve Israel, will be joined in conversation with Dana Arschin, a 3X Emmy Award-Winning journalist and the first-ever Storyteller for the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, to discuss Israel's new novel, The Einstein Conspiracy.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.

Copies of The Einstein Conspiracy will be available for purchase at the event courtesy of Theodore's Books.

ABOUT THE BOOK: 

New York Harbor, 1933. A passenger liner approaches Lower Manhattan, and America awaits it with excitement.

Renowned physicist Albert Einstein, whose genius and fame are nearly matched by his stubbornness, has fled the Nazi regime to take refuge in the United States. With the past attempts on his life now an ocean away, Einstein will teach America's best and brightest at Princeton while continuing to voice his passionate resistance against Hitler.

FBI Agents James Amos and Harry Weiss are pulled off a mob case to pursue a bizarre lead that Hitler-who is convinced Einstein holds the key to developing an atomic superweapon-is sending a Nazi operative to abduct the scientist. They are soon plunged into an upside-down America that has festered out of sight across the country. In this surreal world of shadows, Nazi rallies fill out the iconic Madison Square Garden, Upper East Side neighborhoods become pro-Hitler enclaves, and quaint Long Island villages are transformed into mini fascist utopias.

Appearances are not only deceiving, but deadly.

Based on actual events, The Einstein Conspiracy is a gripping historical thriller, rich with haunting reminders of a moment in American history when the line between foreign enemy and domestic threat was perilously thin.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Steve Israel is the only U.S. Congressman who ever retired from the House to open an independent bookstore, Theodore's Books in Oyster Bay, NY. He has written two critically acclaimed political satires, The Global War on Morris (2014) and Big Guns (2018). His essays have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Atlantic Magazine, among others. Steve Israel (Member of Congress 2001-2017). For more information, visit repsteveisrael.com.

An intricate clock may hold the proof of evidence needed to exonerate Roger Dykmans, a wealthy financier accused of World War II crimes, including the betrayal of his brother, a Holocaust hero, and the group of young Jewish children he hoped to save. But the timepiece is nowhere to be found, until a trio of experienced American attorneys agree to trek to Munich to track it down. But within this triangle an old love affair seems ready to revive and a new one to develop, both of them threatening to derail the investigation entirely. 

The discussion will be led by Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence.

In commemoration of December 7, 1941, please join us for a screening of The Vow From Hiroshima, followed by a discussion with producer and writer Mitchie Takeuchi.

The Vow From Hiroshima follows Setsuko Thurlow, a survivor of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, on her 75-year journey to channel her horrific experience as a 13-year-old into banning nuclear weapons globally. Told through the intergenerational lens of her friendship with a second- generation survivor, the film takes us through Setsuko’s extraordinary life up to her present-day fight to abolish nuclear weapons.

Mitchie Takeuchi is originally from Hiroshima and a long-time New York City resident. She has been an entrepreneur, a writer, and a filmmaker. Her grandfather, Dr. Ken Takeuchi, was the director of the Red Cross Hospital in Hiroshima when the city was leveled by the first use of an atomic bomb, and both he and her mother, Takako, survived.

Dr. Takeuchi led the medical professionals until the end of 1948 and took a leadership role in rebuilding the hospital. Wanting to share what really happened under the mushroom cloud, Mitchie produced and co-wrote THE VOW FROM HIROSHIMA, interweaving the life story of Hiroshima survivor and activist Setsuko Thurlow, intergenerational activism, and the historic negotiations of The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. After a successful year-long theatrical run in 19 cities in Japan, Mitchie received the 2021 Japan Film Renaissance Conference Peace Film Award.

While their families were hidden together in the secret annex in Amsterdam, Anne Frank’s young friend Peter confided to her that if he got out alive, he would reinvent himself entirely.  But no historical record has ever revealed his fate.  This book is the story of what might have happened if the boy in hiding had survived to become a man, a story that encompasses the inescapability of the past, the power of Anne Frank’s diary, and the strange world of memory that engulfed Peter when it was published and he found he was in it.

The discussion will be led by Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence.

On November 9th and 10th of 1938, the lives of German and Austrian Jews were indescribably altered as members of the SS, SA, Hitler Youth, alongside everyday citizens, took to the streets to destroy Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues. 1,000+ synagogues were burned as thousands of Jewish men were arrested and imprisoned at concentration camps.

 On the 87th anniversary of Kristallnacht or "Night of Broken Glass", we look to commemorate those whose lives were lost or forever changed by the events of November 9th, 1938.

Please join us as we gather for a meaningful and reflective commemorative event, including a candle lighting ceremony. Light refreshment will be provided.

Like every Parisian during the German occupation, Lucian Bernard, a young Christian architect, was hungry.  So when a wealthy French industrialist offers him a factory to design, he leaps at the opportunity.  But there is a catch: before he is paid, he is to outsmart the Gestapo and risk his life building a foolproof hiding place for a Jew. And thus begins Lucien’s deep descent into the dark reality of the Holocaust, one in which he will be forced to question everything he has ever thought he believed about the world, human nature and, indeed, himself.  

Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence, will lead the discussion.
