Although the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust is closed indefinitely in response to the coronavirus crisis, its virtual programs are ongoing.

On March 31 at 11 a.m., LAMOTH will present “The Kindertransport’s Rescuers and Rescued: A Second-Generation Conversation,” about the British railway operation that rescued 10,000 children from Nazi-occupied territories in 1938-1939. Barbara Winton, the daughter of rescuer Sir Nicholas Winton; Amanda Susskind, whose father was one of “Winton’s Children;” and Michelle Gold, the Museum’s Board Chair and the daughter of a Kindertransport survivor, will participate in the discussion.

John Demjanjuk, the notorious Nazi death camp guard who lived in secret in Cleveland until he was exposed and brought to trial for his crimes in Jerusalem, is the subject of “Ivan of the Extermination Camp: John Demjanjuk,” which will be presented Apr. 2 at 4 p.m.  Journalist Tom Teicholz, who covered the trial in 1987, is the author of the new book “Ivan of the Extermination Camp,” and will discuss it and the case with the Jewish Journal’s book editor Jonathan Kirsch.

Genealogy and the Holocaust: A Discussion with Michael Morgenstern; April 7 at 11 a.m. on Facebook Live
Many Holocaust survivors left Europe without any physical trace of their relatives who perished. Many do not even have photographs of their loved ones. Michael Morgenstern, a member of the Museum’s education department and an experienced genealogist, has spent countless hours doing genealogy research for Holocaust survivors and their families. In some cases, he has succeeded in helping survivors locate previously unknown photographs of family members who did not survive. In this presentation, he will share some research tactics, as well as examples of documents that he has found for survivors in the community.
