Movie Monday Film Discussion: Anthropoid
Join us for a discussion on Holocaust and human rights films moderated by Museum historians, film professionals, and other experts. Participants are encouraged to watch the film on their own before engaging in the discussion. This month’s discussion on Anthropoid will be moderated by Dr. Charlotte Decoster, Director of Education, and Spencer Cronin, Program Coordinator.
About Anthropoid
Anthropoid is based on the extraordinary true story of Operation Anthropoid, the World War II mission to assassinate SS General Reinhard Heydrich. Head of the Reich Security Main Office, Heydrich was the main architect of the Final Solution and the leader of occupying Nazi forces in Czechoslovakia. His reign of terror prompted self-exiled Czech and Slovak soldiers to hatch a top-secret mission that would change the face of Europe forever.

| JWV: A Jewish voice for Veterans; a Veteran’s voice for Jews since 1896
We always welcome new members to our Post.
Dr. Harvey J. Bloom Post 256, Dallas
Check-out Our Facebook Page: JWV256Dallas
American Jews have served in the military with honor and distinction since colonial days. On March 15, 1896 – 125 years ago a group of 63 motivated Jewish Veterans formed the Hebrew Union Veterans Association (HUVA) in New York City. Eventually joining forces with their Southern counterparts, along with Veterans of the Spanish-American War, they became what is now known as the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America. JWV is now the nation’s oldest continuously operating Veterans service organization with the motto: “A Jewish voice for Veterans; a Veteran’s voice for Jews.”
JWV Posts in North Texas and throughout the country promote Americanism, fight against anti-Semitism, and strive to help veterans by volunteering their time and resources. Poppy Drives and similar activities help raise money for donations of non-medical “quality of life” furnishings and supplies to local VA facilities. JWV continues to add new programs to reach the needs all veterans regardless of their background.
Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, celebrating its 125 year anniversary, will continue fighting anti-Semitism while proving that Jews are a component in the U.S. defense and the maintenance of American security, and that they have made contributions and differences in our country’s growth.
As our veterans return from America’s current conflicts, JWV stands ready as it has since 1896, to ensure that those who have fought our nation’s battles receive the treatment and the respect that they deserve from a grateful nation.
For more information about the Jewish War Veterans and their 125 history of service to Veterans you can view this video.
