SUMMARY:“Resistance – They Fought Back” Film Screening

There were uprisings in ghettos large and small\, rebellions in death camps\, and thousands of Jews fought in the forests. Everywhere in Eastern Europe\, Jews waged campaigns of non-violent resistance against the Nazis.

SUMMARY:(the giant sleeps) Between Two Rivers
DESCRIPTION:A playful\, poetic look at the aspirations and inner fire that fuel all who’ve ever landed on New York’s shores. It follows three ambitious New Netherlanders recently arrived to the original Dutch settlement; a waterlogged newcomer washed ashore\, searching for purpose and footing on this unfamiliar island; and a gaggle of competing city officials each hungry to see their needs met as they navigate the shifting tides of climate change and “urban renewal.” Based on equal parts historical research\, contemporary interviews with long-term New Yorkers\, and the heartfelt imagination of award-winning playwright Ben Holbrook\, Between Two Rivers explores what it means to make your way in this wild city.

SUMMARY:Hanif Abdurraqib in conversation with Jennifer Wilson

Join him and Jennifer Wilson\, two of our most ardent and attuned culture writers\, as they talk about writing what they love—from music and literature to home courts\, homecomings\, and hometown heroes upon the publication of There’s Always This Year\, Abdurraqib’s new memoir of basketball and belonging.

SUMMARY:“Between Two Worlds: Jewish War Brides After the Holocaust” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Facing the harrowing task of rebuilding a life in the wake of the Holocaust\, many Jewish survivors\, community and religious leaders\, and Allied soldiers viewed marriage between Jewish women and military personnel as a way to move forward after unspeakable loss. Proponents believed that these unions were more than just a ticket out of war-torn Europe: they would help the Jewish people repopulate after the attempted annihilation of European Jewry. In her book Between Two Worlds: Jewish War Brides After the Holocaust\, historian Robin Judd\, whose grandmother survived the Holocaust and married an American soldier after liberation\, introduces us to the Jewish women who lived through genocide and went on to wed American\, Canadian\, and British military personnel after the war.
