SUMMARY:Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try
DESCRIPTION:Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try is a first-of-its-kind exhibition on the 20th-century artist and Holocaust survivor Boris Lurie. Centered around his earliest work\, the so-called War Series\, as well as never-before-exhibited objects and ephemera from Lurie’s personal archive\, the exhibition presents a portrait of an artist reckoning with devastating trauma\, haunting memories\, and an elusive\, lifelong quest for freedom. In drawing together artistic practice and historical chronicle\, Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try is fertile new territory for the Museum of Jewish Heritage\, offering a survivor’s searing visual testimony within a significant art historical context. The Museum is open Wednesday\, Thursday\, and Sunday from 11 AM – 7 PM ET through October 17. The Museum is closed on Jewish holidays and on Thanksgiving. As of October 18\, the Museum will be open Sunday and Wednesday: 10 AM to 5 PM; Thursday\, 10 AM to 8 PM; and Friday\, 10 AM to 3 PM.

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:Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors
DESCRIPTION:We are in a time of enormous risk. Economic growth is anemic\, and political risk to the capital markets is on the rise. In the United States\, a generation of white-collar baby boomers is heading into retirement with insufficient assets in their 401(k) programs\, and industrial workers are stuck with materially underfunded pension plans. Against that backdrop\, the investing industry’s current set of practices and assumptions―modern portfolio theory (MPT)―is based on a half-century-old formula that is supposed to deliver the maximum amount of return for a given amount of risk. The trouble is that it doesn’t work very well. In Getting Back to Business: Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors and How You Can Bring Common Sense to Your Portfolio\, dividend-investing guru Daniel Peris proposes a radical new approach―radical in that it does away with MPT in favor of a more intuitive\, common-sense approach practiced by business people in their own affairs every day: cash returns on cash investments. Peris will also discuss being a historian in a profession with a notably low historical sensibility.

SUMMARY:Drawing It Out: Graphic Novels\, Teenagers\, And The Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Graphic novels have long been emerging as a way to tell difficult and often traumatic stories. Since the late 1970s\, they have also been a medium for telling stories about the Holocaust. From true stories to fictional ones\, graphic novels are used to tell all kinds of stories about this time. Recently\, authors and illustrators have been turning to stories about teenagers during the Holocaust. Join the Museum for a program exploring the depiction of teenagers in Holocaust graphic novels. The program will consist of a conversation between David Polonsky\, illustrator of Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation; Ken Krimstein\, author of When I Grow Up: The Lost Autobiographies of Six Yiddish Teens\, and R.J. Palacio\, author of White Bird: A Wonder Story.  The conversation will be moderated by AJ Frost\, Newsletter Editor and Staff Writer for the Comics Beat.
