SUMMARY:Stories Survive: Annelies and Marianne Bernstein
DESCRIPTION:Annelies and Marianne Bernstein were among the 1\,700 German Jews in Berlin who survived the Holocaust by posing as non-Jews. Known as “U-boats” in the slang of their time\, the sisters hid in plain sight with the help of ingenuity\, grit\, and luck. Join us to find out how “the Steins” used their new names to secure ration cards and permits for travel and work and how they evaded the Nazi state surveillance apparatus\, constantly on the move\, frequently unhoused\, and doubly vulnerable as women. Our storyteller is Dr. Richard Lutjens\, who will discuss the sisters’ story and the wider experience of Jews in hiding in Berlin.

SUMMARY:Justice for Animals: Our Collective Responsibility
DESCRIPTION:A revolutionary new theory and call to action on animal rights\, ethics\, and law from the renowned philosopher Martha C. Nussbaum. Animals are in trouble all over the world. Whether through the cruelties of the factory meat industry\, poaching and game hunting\, habitat destruction\, or neglect of the companion animals that people purport to love\, animals suffer injustice and horrors at our hands every day.

SUMMARY:Maxim Osopv Presents Kilometer 101
DESCRIPTION:New conversation series between fiction and non-fiction writers\, in which writers discuss the ways in which they grapple with similar subject matter through different lenses\, and with different perspectives. The stories and essays in this volume—a follow-up to his debut in English\, Rock\, Paper\, Scissors—tackle major questions of modern life in and beyond Russia with Osipov’s trademark blend of daring and subtlety. Deceit\, political pressure\, ethnic discrimination\, the urge to emigrate\, and the fear of abandoning one’s home\, as well as myriad generational debts and conflicts\, are as complexly woven through these pieces as they are through the lives of Osipov’s fellow Russians and through our own. RSVP required.

SUMMARY:Valentine Like a Sailor
DESCRIPTION:While you create your own special trinket for the holiday\, learn about the unique history of Sailors’ Valentines—tokens of love and friendship. Historically\, these small wooden boxes were given by seafarers to their wives\, sweethearts\, daughters\, and loved ones when they returned from a long voyage. The small boxes open to reveal sentimental messages surrounded with intricate mosaics of shells and found objects arranged in exquisite geometric patterns and motifs such as hearts\, anchors\, and flowers. Using beads\, buttons\, and shells\, families and friends of all ages are invited to the Seaport Museum’s introductory galleries where we’ll continue the tradition together. Registration required.
