SUMMARY:Asia
DESCRIPTION:Shira Haas made an indelible impression as the Emmy-nominated lead in the recent TV series Unorthodox. In Asia (2020\, 85 minutes\, Hebrew with English subtitles)\, Haas stars as a Russian émigré to Israel\, navigating her teenage years along with her single mother\, burdened by a largely undefined illness that makes all of her decisions infinitely more poignant. The film explores the inevitable chasm that divides the generations and creates barriers between the healthy and the sick – while telling a universal and timeless story of maternal love and loss.

SUMMARY:Stories Survive: Dorien Grunbaum
DESCRIPTION:Dorien Grunbaum was born in 1942 in Rotterdam\, Netherlands\, where her father was in the grain import/export business and her mother was a social worker. When Dorien was a year old\, her family was arrested and sent to Westerbork transit camp\, where they remained imprisoned for nine months. At Westerbork\, the Grunbaum family received papers from Dorien’s aunt and uncle in Mexico which granted them permission to emigrate to Palestine. These papers won the family better treatment for a short time in Bergen-Belsen\, where they were transferred from Westerbork in February 1944. After enduring horrors at Bergen-Belsen and then being liberated by the Soviet Army\, the Grunbaum family moved to the United States. Dorien was four years old.

Join the Museum for a Stories Survive program exploring the Grunbaum family’s survival in the Holocaust and Dorien’s efforts to reconstruct their story.

SUMMARY:Two Stage Sisters: A Story of Old China\, Retold
DESCRIPTION:Xie Jin’s masterpiece was not shown in China until almost two decades after it was made. Banned for its depiction of old China\, the film is in many ways the summation of the cinematic style that began in Shanghai in the 1930s: brilliant use of space\, powerful camera movement\, and a story that follows the conflicting\, contradictory fates of its protagonists. Two Stage Sisters is also a perceptive meditation on Chinese opera itself\, chronicling changes in style and their relation to shifting notions of the role of art. Synopsis: In 1935\, a runaway bride hides out with a traveling Xiaoxing opera troupe; after allowing her to stay\, the company trains her and soon she is taking on the dan roles while her “sister” takes on the sheng male roles. Soon the two move on to Shanghai\, where they become hailed as the “queens” of the opera world. But as they learn\, such success comes with a price\, and each sister must decide how to manage her art and her life—as China navigates through WWII\, then the Civil War\, and finally the victory of the Communist Party.

SUMMARY:The Buddhist Art to the East: A Monumental Spread
DESCRIPTION:Online lecture. Buddhist art emerged from India\, spread eastwards to Central Asia\, Xinjiang\, the Hexi Corridor\, and eventually arrived at the heartland of China. This monumental movement ran along the Silk Road over the course of a thousand years\, integrating the Hellenistic culture with the Indian\, Persian\, Nomadic\, and Chinese. The Renwen Society presents a lecture on August 7 on this epic movement by Dr. Mao Ming\, a specialist in the Buddhist art. Adopting an archaeological approach\, and based on her own fieldwork experience\, Dr. Ming Mao will share with the audience the five major developments in the Buddhist art following its eastward spread: the Gandhara Art in India\, the Termez sites in Central Asia\, the Kizil caves in Xinjiang\, the Dunhuang Grottos\, and the Yungang & Longmen caves. In explaining these developments\, Dr. Mao will also examine five major different artistic depictions and representations of the Buddha.

SUMMARY:Holocaust In The Balkans: “A Question Of Survival” Screening And Discussion
DESCRIPTION:A Question of Survival (55 minutes\, English\, subtitles available) is an eye-opening portrait of three Bulgarian Jews—Chaim Zemach\, a cellist; Robert Bakish\, an engineer; and Misha Avramoff\, a social worker on Manhattan’s Lower East Side—as they struggle to place their unusual experiences during World War II into the more common narrative of the Holocaust. Chaim\, Robert\, and Misha were children and young adults when Bulgaria’s pro-Nazi regime planned\, and then cancelled\, the deportation of the country’s 48\,000 Jews. The film explores the complex legacy of the Holocaust in the Balkans through their eyes and through their questions about the term “survivor.” Join the Museum for a special screening of A Question of Survival followed by a live discussion with the film’s director Elka Nikolova. The screening and discussion will occur both virtually and in person in the Museum’s Edmond J. Safra Hall.

SUMMARY:The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier-Mariners Who Shaped the Country\, Formed the Navy\, and Rowed Washington Across the Delaware
DESCRIPTION:Zoom lecture. On the stormy night of August 29\, 1776\, the Continental Army faced capture or annihilation after losing the Battle of Brooklyn. The fate of the Revolution rested upon the shoulders of the soldier-mariners from Marblehead\, Massachusetts\, who saved the army by navigating the treacherous waters of the river the Manhattan. White\, Black\, Hispanic\, and Native American\, this uniquely diverse group of soldiers set an inclusive standard the US Army would not reach again for more than 170 years. In this lecture\, Patrick O’Donnell discusses how the Marbleheaders repeatedly altered the course of events during the Revolution—from forming the elite Guard that protected General Washington to ferrying Continental forces across the Delaware River on Christmas night of 1776.
