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:Remembering Resistance: Sophie Scholl And The White Rose
DESCRIPTION:The White Rose was founded in 1942 by several students at the University of Munich\, including Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans. The members were united against Nazi policies and began writing and distributing leaflets calling on the German people to take action to stop injustice and genocide. In 1943\, Hans and Sophie Scholl were arrested by the Gestapo after they distributed leaflets to students at their university. Hans Scholl\, Sophie Scholl\, and Christoph Probst\, another member of the group\, were executed on February 22\, 1943. Since then\, the White Rose\, and Sophie Scholl specifically\, have become a symbol of resistance during WWII. Join the Museum for a program examining Sophie Scholl and the White Rose. The program will feature a conversation between Wolfgang Huber\, the son of White Rose member Kurt Huber and Professor Emeritus at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstad; Frank McDonough\, author of Sophie Scholl: The Real Story of the Woman Who Defied Hitler; and Nathan Stoltzfus\, the Dorothy and Jonathan Rintels Professor of Holocaust Studies at Florida State University. The conversation will be moderated by Lori Weintrob\, Professor of History at Wagner College and founding director of the Wagner College Holocaust Center. The program will be accompanied by a virtual screening of the Academy Award nominated film Sophie Scholl: The Final Days. Attendees will receive a private link to stream the film one week before the program.

SUMMARY:Why Confucius Matters: Was the Sage a Subversive?
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Tao Jiang\, a scholar of Chinese philosophy\, maps the life of China’s greatest sage and challenges conventional wisdom about Confucius as the ultimate architect of hierarchies and obedience. In a new book\, Origins of Moral-Political Philosophy in Early China: Contestation of Humaneness\, Justice\, and Personal Freedom (Oxford University Press 2021)\, Jiang portrays Confucius\, whose thinking has laid the foundations of Chinese moral-political culture for thousands of years\, as a man of his times and beyond\, creative\, daring\, and even subversive in his fight for a more humane and just world. And what does that say about Confucian values today?
