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.

SUMMARY:The American Way: A True Story of Nazi Escape\, Superman\, and Marilyn Monroe
DESCRIPTION:Family lore had it that author Bonnie Siegler’s grandfather Jules crossed paths with Marilyn Monroe in Midtown Manhattan late one night in 1954\, her white dress flying up around her as she filmed a scene for The Seven Year Itch. Siegler wasn’t sure she quite believed her grandfather’s story…until\, cleaning out his apartment\, she found the film reel. That discovery would prompt her to investigate her grandfather’s seemingly-tall tales — and lead her in pursuit of a remarkable\, poignant piece of forgotten history\, bridging old Hollywood\, the birth of the comic book\, and the Holocaust. The American Way is a kaleidoscopic tale of hope and reinvention\, of daring escapes and fake identities\, of big dreams and the magic of movies\, and what it means to be a real-life Superman. Authors of The American Way\, Bonnie Siegler and Helene Stapinski\, will be joined in conversation by NY Times contributor Bob Morris.

SUMMARY:The Rosenstrasse Protest: Commemorating the 80th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:The Rosenstrasse Protest of 1943 was held against the incarceration and potential deportation of roughly 2\,000 people who were arrested by the Gestapo on February 27\, 1943. With their loved ones held at Rosenstraße 2-4 in Berlin\, family members\, many of whom were women\, kept their protest going for a week until Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels ordered the prisoners’ release on March 6\, 1943. This program marks the 80th anniversary of the protest and the context of the mass arrest which targeted “exempted” Jews\, a term used for those who were married to a non-Jew or had one non-Jewish parent.

SUMMARY:30 Years Later: The 1993 Bombing and Operation Tradebom
DESCRIPTION:On February 26\, 1993\, terrorists detonated a van loaded with explosives in the parking garage of the World Trade Center. The attack killed six people\, including a pregnant woman\, and injured thousands. At the time\, this was the largest improvised explosive device ever ignited on American soil. To mark 30 years since the attack\, Marc Smerling\, Emmy-winning producer and creator of the new Apple Original podcast\, Operation: Tradebom\, is joined by three individuals featured in the program: former FBI Agents John Anticev and Frank Pellegrino\, and former NYPD officer\, Cory Cuneo. Together\, in conversation with Museum Director\, Clifford Chanin\, they recount responding to the attack; discuss Tradebom\, the FBI’s investigation into the bombing; and reflect on how the first attempt to bring down the Twin Towers changed our world.
