Southeast Michigan carries its own Holocaust story, shaped by Jewish resilience alongside instances of local Nazi sympathy. Personal stories, archival materials, and historic sites help show how people in this region confronted hatred with courage and determination.

Join Harry Smith, Senior Education Manager at The Zekelman Holocaust Center, as he hosts this powerful exploration of our region’s history, uncovering the stories, places, and people who shaped southeast Michigan’s response to antisemitism and Nazi ideology. 

A post program conversation will be moderated by Dr. Catherine Cangany, CEO of Jewish Historical Society of Michigan.

JHSM is a community partner for this program.
