SUMMARY:Stories Survive: Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff
DESCRIPTION:As a small child\, Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff fled her Nazi-occupied hometown of Kosice\, Slovakia (then Czechoslovakia) along with her parents and infant brother. They remained on the run and in open hiding for seven months—during which they had several narrow escapes\, including an arrest in Spain—until they reached Lisbon\, Portugal\, where they joined tens of thousands of Jewish refugees awaiting ships to the United States. With the assistance of HIAS\, Dr. Klein Kassenoff and her parents were rescued from Portugal in 1941\, boarding one of the last ships to safety. Dr. Klein Kassenoff became the founding director of the University of Miami Holocaust Teacher Institute. She is also the Education Chairperson at the Holocaust Memorial in Miami Beach\, Florida\, and the Education Specialist for Holocaust Studies for Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Join Dr. Klein Kassenoff for a Stories Survive program exploring her family’s journey of perseverance and escape.

SUMMARY:Isabel Wilkerson And Rabbi Angela Buchdahl On “Caste”
DESCRIPTION:While working on her Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Warmth of Other Suns\, about the Great Migration of African Americans out of the Jim Crow South\, Isabel Wilkerson realized that the United States had an unspoken and deeply ingrained caste system. In her new book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents\, a #1 New York Times bestseller and Oprah’s Book Club pick\, Wilkerson explores the impact of this American caste system—a rigid hierarchy of human divisions—and its connections to caste systems in India and Nazi Germany. She documents how the Nazis studied American race laws as they planned the German Nuremberg Laws\, and she points forward to ways that we can move beyond artificial and destructive separations towards a common humanity. Join Wilkerson and Rabbi Angela Warnick Buchdahl\, Senior Rabbi at New York’s Central Synagogue and the first Asian-American person to be ordained as cantor or rabbi in North America\, for a conversation about Caste\, the legacy of the Holocaust\, and what lies under the surface of American life today.

SUMMARY:The American Revolution and the Creation of American History
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Michael Hattem will discuss his book Past and Prologue: Politics and Memory in the American Revolution. Between the 1760s and 1800s\, Americans stopped thinking of the British past as their own history and created a new historical tradition that would form the foundation of what future generations would think of as “American history.” This process\, Hattem argues\, played a critical role in the founding of the nation. This lecture will take place via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Remembering Olga Lengyel And “Five Chimneys”
DESCRIPTION:In 1944\, Hungarian physician’s assistant Olga Lengyel was deported to Auschwitz along with her parents\, husband\, and two sons. She was put to work in the Auschwitz infirmary\, where she also secretly toiled for a French underground cell\, helping to demolish a crematory oven. At the end of the war\, she was the only member of her family to survive. Lengyel made her way to New York and\, in 1946\, published Five Chimneys: A Woman Survivor’s True Story of Auschwitz\, which became one of the earliest testimonies to depict the barbarism of the Nazis. Thirty years later\, her vivid exposé of the death camps inspired William Styron’s award-winning novel Sophie’s Choice. 20 years after Lengyel’s death in April 2001\, join the Museum and The Olga Lengyel Institute for a program exploring her remarkable life and legacy.

SUMMARY:Wright and New York: The Making of America’s Architect
DESCRIPTION:Wright and New York turns upside down the conventional notion that Frank Lloyd Wright hated the city\, and the city was antagonistic to him. In this illustrated lecture based on his new book\, Anthony Alofsin outlines the developments in Wright’s life and work that demonstrate how New York turned around his career in the late 1920s and early 1930s to position him for the glory—and branding—of his final decades. The talk focuses on Wright’s visionary design for an immense Modern Cathedral to serve all religions and for the skyscraper\, he designed for the church of St. Marks-in-the-Bouwerie in New York’s East Village.

DESCRIPTION:Until recently\, a handful of fleet-footed Chinese companies and Tesla have dominated the Electric Vehicle market\, as US “legacy” carmakers dragged their feet. But with a new administration in Washington and GM & Ford both recently announcing a full-fledged switch to EVs\, the race is on. And the auto industry—from supply chains to labor force to data management—is being turned on its head. Can the U.S. catch up? Who are the Big Four Chinese companies already in the lead in China? Who will win the race? Where are the greatest opportunities? Ahead of the SH Auto Show\, join China EV expert Tu Le\, global auto industry expert John Paul MacDuffie\, and BYD USA executive Frank Girardot\, as they map out the road ahead.

SUMMARY:Women In Investment Management (Part 1): The Gender Short Situation
DESCRIPTION:Webinar. Diversification is a core principle of investing. Yet money managers have not applied it to their own ranks. Only around 10% of portfolio managers—the people most directly responsible for investing your money—are female\, and the numbers are even worse at the ownership level. What are the causes of this underrepresentation\, and what are its consequences—including for firms’ and clients’ bottom lines?

SUMMARY:“The Light Of Days” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Witnesses to the brutal murder of their families and neighbors and the violent destruction of their communities\, a cadre of Jewish women in Poland―some still in their teens―helped transform Jewish youth groups into resistance cells to fight the Nazis. With courage\, guile\, and nerves of steel\, these “ghetto girls” paid off Gestapo guards\, hid revolvers in loaves of bread and jars of marmalade\, and helped build systems of underground bunkers. In The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler’s Ghettos\, Judy Batalion—granddaughter of Holocaust survivors and author of White Walls—brings these women’s stories to light. The book\, scheduled for release in April 2021 and already optioned by Steven Spielberg for a major motion picture\, is an unforgettable true tale of bravery\, friendship\, and survival. Join Batalion and Molly Crabapple\, award-winning artist\, author\, and journalist\, for a conversation about The Light of Days.
