SUMMARY:“Paris Undercover” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Two women in Nazi-occupied Paris created a daring escape line that rescued dozens of Allied servicemen. With one still in a German prison camp\, the other wrote a book about it—a memoir built on fabrications. Now the bestselling author of Eighty Days shares their incredible\, never-before-told full story. Etta Shiber and Kate Bonnefous are the unlikeliest of heroines: two seemingly ordinary women\, an American widow and an English divorcée\, living quietly together in Paris. Yet during the Nazi occupation\, these two friends find themselves unexpectedly plunged into the whirlwind of history. With the help of a French country priest and others\, they set out to rescue British and French soldiers trapped behind enemy lines—some of whom they daringly smuggle through Nazi checkpoints hidden inside the trunk of their car.

SUMMARY:A Staging of “A Siren's Prayer”
DESCRIPTION:Special live staging of A Siren’s Prayer—a bold musical that blends live vocals\, instrumentals\, and movement to tell a story of ancient power and modern pain. A Siren’s Prayer follows a trio of sirens who have spent generations luring sailors to their deaths\, their haunting harmonies echoing a legacy of betrayal and survival. When a sailor unexpectedly survives their trap\, the tide begins to turn when one of the sirens—curious\, soulful\, and unshaped by bitterness—falls in love with the survivor. As the work unfolds\, we will follow along when she uncovers the history behind her community’s vengeance and becomes determined to heal her people instead of punishing others. The score is deeply inspired by the spiritual tones of Wade in the Water\, beginning with a smoky\, sultry jazz rendition used as a tool of seduction. As the sirens evolve\, the melody shifts—becoming a hymn of healing and unity. By the finale\, water isn’t a weapon—it’s a balm\, a baptism\, and a bridge between broken worlds.

SUMMARY:So Surreal: Behind the Masks
DESCRIPTION:Watch a feature documentary that traces the storied journey of Indigenous masks from the far reaches of Turtle Island (North America) into the hands of European Surrealists\, influencing the work and worldview of some of the most well-known modern artists and writers of all time including Max Ernst\, André Breton\, Roberto Matta and Joan Miró – all while following the dramatic quest to return a mask that was brutally stolen from the Kwakwa̱ka̱ ʼwakw people on Canada’s northwest coast over a century ago. Part caper\, part road trip\, part spiritual journey\, So Surreal: Behind the Masks follows Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond (Reel Injun\, Red Fever) as he travels coast-to-coast and across the Atlantic and back\, gradually piecing together this groundbreaking global story of influence\, reconnection and restitution. Directors: Neil Diamond (Cree) and Joanne Robertson\, Canada\, 2024\, 88 min. Join directors Neil Diamond and Joanne Robertson\, and Maria Galban\, the museum’s Collections Documentation Manager\, for a post-screening discussion and Q&A.

SUMMARY:Mafalda's Hijinks
DESCRIPTION:Álvaro Enrigue and Rivka Galchen introduce South America’s greatest comic. Frank Wynne’s translation from the Spanish of Mafalda will bring readers into the life and mind of a six-year-old girl investigating the political wreckage all around her. Rabble rouser\, chess enthusiast\, passionate advocate for peace and the abolition of soup\, Mafalda made her debut in early 1960s Argentina.

She was beloved by literary greats: Julio Cortázar\, Gabriel García Márquez\, Umberto Eco\, Mario Vargas Llosa\, and Isabel Allende have all praised her. Álvaro Enrigue and Rivka Galchen will discuss Mafalda and celebrate her arrival in English.

SUMMARY:“A Calculated Restraint: What Allied Leaders Said About the Holocaust” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:The Allied leaders rarely spoke directly about the Holocaust in public. When Churchill and Stalin alluded to Nazi mass murder of civilians in early speeches\, they said much less than they knew. Not until December 1942 did Allied governments issue a joint statement about Nazi Germany’s policy of exterminating the Jews of Europe. Roosevelt deferred his own public statement until March 1944. Why didn’t these leaders speak up sooner? Through close readings of public and private statements\, Richard Breitman\, an acclaimed author and distinguished emeritus professor at American University\,  pieces together the competing motivations that drove each leader’s response to the atrocities. Timely and incisive\, A Calculated Restraint sheds new light on the relationship between World War II and the Holocaust.
