WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR?
DWIGHT EISENHOWER AND THE HOLOCAUST
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, was familiar with the horrors of war. However, he was stunned by what he saw in April 1945 when visiting Ohrdruf Concentration Camp, the first Nazi camp liberated by American troops. He invited the media and others to document the dead, dying, and starving prisoners. Join us on Zoom on May 8 at 7 p.m. CT to hear Jason S. Lantzer, Ph.D., author of Dwight Eisenhower and the Holocaust: A History, examine the conviction that shaped Eisenhower’s presidency and solidified American engagement in the postwar world.

Remembering the Armenian Genocide
Saturday, April 26, 2025 2 p.m. Program - Free - In Person
Often referred to as the first genocide of the twentieth century, the Armenian Genocide was marked by the systematic persecution, deportation, and mass murder, under the cover of World War I, of approximately 1 million Armenian Christians living in the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923. Most of the Ottoman Turkish officials who organized and helped perpetrate the genocide escaped prosecution. To this day, the Turkish government denies any role in the genocide and refuses to acknowledge that a genocide occurred. Join us at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum on Saturday, April 26 as historians from the Genocide Education Project join us to recount the experiences of those murdered, shed light on the motives of the perpetrators, and discuss efforts to memorialize the victims.
SWJC stands with Israel following the brutal murders of Israelis by Hamas terrorists and the kidnapping of innocent civilians. We strongly affirm Israel’s right to exist and its right to defend itself against Hamas or any other terrorist organization. Furthermore, we urge the end of all communication that escalates anger and hysteria. There can be no justification for hateful and inhumane criminal behavior.
People of all faiths and backgrounds have much to offer during times of crisis. As SWJC builds bridges within our community, we ask those who recognize the power of mutual respect and friendship to stand in solidarity with Israel.
