SUMMARY:Harry Seidler’s Australia Square: Sydney’s First Modern Skyscraper
DESCRIPTION:Completed in 1967\, six years before Jørn Utzon’s Sydney Opera House\, Australia Square was the first truly modern skyscraper on the continent and\, arguably\, the world’s tallest lightweight concrete building. The 50-story cylindrical tower once stood alone as the focal point of a full city-block development in Central Sydney and with a popular plaza that made the complex the first successful large-scale commercial project in Australia. Vienna-born emigré architect Harry Seidler (1923-2006) brought his Harvard GSD and Black Mountain College training and experience in the offices of Marcel Breuer and Oscar Niemeier to his adoptive Australia where he became the country’s leading postwar modernist from 1948 on. Australia Square also began Seidler’s creative collaboration with Italian structural engineer Pier Luigi Nervi\, with whom he worked on a number of large projects.

SUMMARY:“FOUR WINTERS” Film & Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:“All I owned was a rifle\, a leopard coat and my camera\,” says Faye Schulman\, whose clandestine photographs of Jewish partisans living in the forests documented their efforts to disrupt the Nazi killing machine by blowing up bridges\, derailing trains\, and smuggling Jews. The image of Schulman with an ammunition belt slung over her fashionable shoulder is one of many stunning archival images in this historically important documentary. Against extraordinary odds\, over 25\,000 Jewish partisans escaped Nazi slaughter and fought back against Hitler’s soldiers and their collaborators from deep within WWII’s primeval forests. In this award-winning film\, some of the last surviving partisans tell their story\, from young innocents facing down a ruthless enemy\, cold\, hunger\, and fear\, to becoming courageous resistance fighters with great determination\, altruism\, and resourcefulness. As fierce and skilled soldiers\, they joined together and formed partisan brigades. Shattering the myth of Jewish passivity\, FOUR WINTERS reveals a truthful\, inspiring and riveting narrative of heroism and resilience.

SUMMARY:“Time’s Echo” with Jeremy Eichler and Emanuel Ax
DESCRIPTION:With a critic’s ear\, a scholar’s erudition\, and a novelist’s eye for detail\, Jeremy Eichler shows how four towering composers—Richard Strauss\, Arnold Schoenberg\, Dmitri Shostakovich\, and Benjamin Britten—lived through the era of World War II and the Holocaust. Each composer transformed their experiences into moving\, transcendent works of music\, scores that echo lost time. Summoning the supporting testimony of writers\, poets\, philosophers\, musicians\, and everyday citizens\, Eichler makes a passionate and revelatory case for the power of music as cultural memory\, an art form uniquely capable of carrying forward meaning from the past. Jeremy Eichler is joined in conversation by Emanuel Ax\, Grammy-winning classical pianist. They will discuss how\, by listening to history and learning to hear the resonances of what another era has written\, heard\, dreamed\, hoped\, and mourned\, we can deepen how we think about the legacies of war\, the presence of the past\, and the renewed promise of art for our lives today. A book signing will follow with books available to purchase.

SUMMARY:25 Years Later: The 1998 US Embassy Bombings and the FBI
DESCRIPTION:On August 7\, 1998\, truck bombs exploded at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania\, killing 224 people and injuring more than 4\,000. The FBI’s investigations of the attacks\, codenamed KENBOM and TANBOM\, were at that time the largest deployment in Bureau history. To mark the 25th anniversary of the bombings\, retired FBI Special Agent in Charge Mary E. Galligan who responded on the ground to the Tanzania bombing\, is joined by retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent John Liguori who was a supervisor of the FBI squad that oversaw the trial. Together\, in conversation with Museum Director\, Clifford Chanin\, they reflect on both investigations and discuss how the attacks impacted counterterrorism efforts in the years leading up to 9/11.

SUMMARY:Sephardic Stories with Elizabeth Graver\, Michael Frank\, Maira Kalman\, and Shoshana Bean
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Graver and Michael Frank come together for a special conversation about two books that capture the stories of two shapeshifting Sephardic women who lived many lives over many decades. Graver’s novel Kantika (“song” in Ladino) draws a fictionalized portrait of her grandmother Rebecca Cohen\, daughter of the Sephardic elite of early twentieth-century Istanbul\, whose journey took her to Cuba\, Spain\, and New York. Michael Frank’s One Hundred Saturdays: Stella Levi and the Search for a Lost World depicts Frank’s six-year-long encounter with Stella Levi\, who was born and came of age in the Juderia of Rhodes\, Greece. Levi was deported to Auschwitz\, along with the rest of her community\, in July of 1944. Both Rebecca and Stella—fierce\, creative\, and vibrant—came to create new lives for themselves in America. Maira Kalman\, who illustrated One Hundred Saturdays\, will join in the conversation. The evening will also include a performance of Sephardic music by singer Shoshana Bean.
