SUMMARY:Transforming Moments: A Conversation With Diane Von Furstenberg
DESCRIPTION:Before she was an international fashion icon and a member of the TIME 100\, Diane von Furstenberg was a young girl growing up with parents who had just survived the Holocaust. Her father\, originally from Moldova\, escaped the Nazis in Switzerland. Her mother\, originally from Greece\, fought the Nazis as a member of the resistance until she was captured and sent to Auschwitz. Join the Museum for a conversation with von Furstenberg about her identity as the daughter of survivors and how it has informed her remarkable career at the helm of one of the world’s most recognizable brands. She will be in conversation with Dr. Eva Fogelman\, renowned psychologist and author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated book Conscience and Courage: Rescuers of Jews During the Holocaust.

SUMMARY:From WWII to the Space Race: The Story of Project Paperclip
DESCRIPTION:Between 1945 and the 1960s\, the United States government brought more than 1\,500 German scientists and engineers into the country through Project Paperclip to work on guided missiles\, jet and rocket engines\, aerodynamics\, aerospace medicine\, and submarine technology. The U.S. hoped these specialists could give them an advantage at the end of WWII and into the Cold War. Over time\, many of the Germans disappeared into American military\, industrial\, and academic positions. However\, one of them\, Wernher von Braun\, became prominent through his involvement in the Space Race.

SUMMARY:Shaunna J. Edwards and Alyson Richman Present The Thread Collectors
DESCRIPTION:Reading. Registration required. 1863: In a small Creole cottage in New Orleans\, an ingenious young Black woman named Stella embroiders intricate maps on repurposed cloth to help enslaved men flee and join the Union Army. Bound to a man who would kill her if he knew of her clandestine activities\, Stella has to hide not only her efforts but her love for William\, a Black soldier and a brilliant musician. Meanwhile\, in New York City\, a Jewish woman stitches a quilt for her husband\, who is stationed in Louisiana with the Union Army. Between abolitionist meetings\, Lily rolls bandages and crafts quilts with her sewing circle for other soldiers\, too\, hoping for their safe return home. But when months go by without word from her husband\, Lily resolves to make the perilous journey South to search for him. As these two women risk everything for love and freedom during the brutal Civil War\, their paths converge in New Orleans\, where an unexpected encounter leads them to discover that even the most delicate threads have the capacity to save us. Loosely inspired by the authors’ family histories\, this stunning novel will stay with readers for a long time.
