The Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family
Campus is hosting How Healers Became Killers, Nazi Medical Professionals, to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Wednesday, January 27. The program also is the opening event of the new featured exhibit, Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race, which opens January 17 and is slated to run until July 11, 2021.
“We are proud to host this thought-provoking exhibit and opening program which scrutinizes the complicity medical professionals had in the Holocaust,” said Holocaust Memorial Center CEO Rabbi Eli Mayerfeld. “The most important lesson we teach is that history is made through a
series of choices and that every choice has a consequence. By teaching the lessons of the Holocaust, our fervent hope is that each of us will be upstanders, not bystanders, when we witness wrongful actions.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 4 adults has a physical, sensory, cognitive or mental health disability. Yet, in a 2018 survey, disability awareness and education non-profit RespectAbility determined that fewer than 15 percent of people could name a single Jewish leader with a disability.
This is why on Dec. 21, RespectAbility announced the launch of the Jewish Disability Speakers Bureau. Speakers include Jewish lawyers, entrepreneurs, teachers, rabbis, filmmakers and comedians. The bureau is available to speak virtually at Jewish conferences, synagogues and organizations to allow people with disabilities the opportunity to share their perspectives with the community.
