Institute for Holocaust Education

Lunch & Learn featuring Mollie Davis
2026-03-19 11:30 - 13:00 UTC | ZOOM
The next virtual Lunch & Learn will feature Mollie Davis on Thursday, March 19.
In a talk based around her Times of Israel essay “On Jewish Allyship and The Frightening Character”, Mollie will discuss how Creighton’s “Nuremberg to The Hague” study abroad program informed her advocacy against antisemitism — and Jewish allyship in a post-10/7 world.
Mollie Davis is a writer, and third year law student at Creighton University School of Law. Upon graduation in May, Mollie hopes to practice law in Nebraska alongside pursuing military history/national security academia.
This session is part of IHE’s ongoing Third Thursday series, dedicated to education, reflection, and dialogue around the Holocaust, genocide, and human rights.

Week of Understanding at the Durham
2026-03-25 18:30 - 19:30 | The Durham Museum
For 50 years, Abe Piasek carried in silence the unfathomed weight of surviving Nazi labor and death camps. In time, he knew he needed to share his experience, doing so at schools, churches, community centers and military bases. Before his passing in 2020, Abe asked his friend Steve Goldberg, an educator, to keep telling his story — a story of a 13-year-old boy being taken away from his family and never seeing his parents or little sister again.

Abe’s legacy continues on March 25 at The Durham Museum, as part of the Institute for Holocaust Education lecture series. We are honored to welcome Steve Goldberg, who will share with our audience Abe’s story of pain, courage and healing.
