Alabama Holocaust Education Center

Join the Montreal Holocaust Museum on Zoom for a virtual lecture with Deborah Barton, Associate Professor of modern European history at the Université de Montréal. Professor Barton will discuss the loss of women’s rights, particularly for Jewish, Black, and political opponents in 1930s Germany. She will also talk about so-called Aryan women who were able to negotiate roles for themselves and who became a part of Nazi processes of perpetration. The event is organized in the context of a partnership between Holocaust museums and education centres across North America on a powerful webinar series exploring how democracy eroded and extremism took root in 1930s Germany – and the urgent lessons we can draw today.
