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.

SUMMARY:Getting to Zero: How the US-China Race for Electric Vehicles is Changing the World

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.

SUMMARY:Pivot to China: How Jin Mao Portended Future Supertalls
DESCRIPTION:Skyscraper Museum webinar. Mark Sarkisian is the structural and seismic engineering partner in SOM’s San Francisco office. He holds fourteen U.S. and international patents for high-performance seismic structural mechanisms and environmentally responsible structural systems. Mark will discuss the structural design of SOM’s Jin Mao Tower\, which when completed in 1999 at 420 m / 1\,380 ft. was first of the trio of supertalls in Shanghai’s Pudong business district. Its multiple functions\, with offices on the lower floors and a luxury hotel and observation deck above\, established the mixed-use typology that would characterize many Chinese supertalls in the next two decades. Mark will explain the innovative foundations and seismic design of Jin Mao and the concrete core and mega-column structural system that accommodated the dramatic central atrium that rises through the hotel stories.

SUMMARY:A Conversation With Helen Epstein About The Second Generation
DESCRIPTION:In 1979\, Helen Epstein published Children of the Holocaust\, one of the first books to examine the intergenerational transmission of trauma from Holocaust survivors to their children. In the four decades since its publication\, Epstein has published 11 additional books (including Franci’s War\, a memoir of her mother’s life\, in 2020) and has served as a leading voice among descendants of survivors. She is also active in Holocaust memorialization work in the Czech Republic\, where her family is from. As Holocaust survivors get older and their descendants assume the mantle of Holocaust memory\, the issues raised by Epstein’s work are taking on new and important meanings. Join Epstein and Ellen Bachner Greenberg\, founder of Descendants of Holocaust Survivors (2G Greater New York)\, for a conversation about Epstein’s life and legacy and the questions she faces today.

SUMMARY:John Wasik on "Lincolnomics: Why the 16th President's Vision for Economic Progress Still Rocks"
DESCRIPTION:Webinar. Has there ever been a time when Abraham Lincoln has gone silent? Our immortal conscience on civil rights and individual freedom is speaking to us yet again in the time of COVID and public unrest. Yet Lincoln has managed to become even more relevant as we tackle infrastructure\, healthcare\, climate change and human rights. The forthcoming book by John Wasik\, Lincolnomics: How President Lincoln Constructed the Great American Economy\, puts the 16th President in a powerful new light: He was our foremost architect of economic development\, equal treatment and physical and intellectual improvements\, from transportation to medical research. In this presentation\, Wasik will show a vastly under-studied side of Lincoln. As the only President to hold a patent\, he was an innovator. During his brief time as a surveyor\, he was an urban planner. Surprisingly\, his longest and most comprehensive speeches were devoted to the culture of invention\, “internal improvements” and research and development.

SUMMARY:Painting The Holocaust: Remembering Alfred Kantor And His Sketchbook
DESCRIPTION:In December 1941\, Alfred Kantor arrived at the Terezin Ghetto. An 18 year old artist from Prague with one year of study at the Rotter School of Advertising Art under his belt\, Kantor began to draw scenes around him. “My commitment to drawing came out of a deep instinct of self-preservation\,” he later wrote\, “and undoubtedly helped me to deny the unimaginable horrors of that time.” Kantor continued drawing and painting at night after he was deported to Auschwitz and to Schwarzheide\, and then again after the war in the Deggendorf Displaced Persons Camp. The hundreds of sketches and watercolors he produced between 1941 and 1947 constitute one of the most prolific artistic records of the Holocaust. This is a celebration of Kantor’s remarkable life and legacy\, featuring his daughter Monica Churchill; Zuzana Justman\, a filmmaker and writer who interviewed Kantor for her film Terezin Diary; and Dr. Ori Z. Soltes\, Professor of the Teaching of Jewish Civilization at Georgetown University and former Director the B’nai B’rith Klutznick National Jewish Museum with a specialty in art and the Holocaust.

SUMMARY:Chengdu Greenland: A Non-Coplanar Exoskeleton
DESCRIPTION:Skyscraper Museum webinar. Supertall projects have been central to Dennis Poon’s career as a structural engineer. Poon worked on the teams for the Petronas Towers (1998) in Kuala Lumpur and Taipei 101 (2004) in Taiwan\, the first skyscrapers outside of the United States to become\, in succession\, the world’s tallest buildings. Dennis has extensive experience in seismic design\, structural investigations\, and optimization of structural systems\, and he has worked with conservative Chinese authorities to accept design criteria that reflect international standards and thus allow for more efficient structures. Dennis’s talk will focus on the innovative structural system of the Chengdu Greenland Tower.

SUMMARY:Hidden Meanings and Beyond in Chinese Painting
DESCRIPTION:What does a Chinese artist do in a time of chaos and oppression? Flee to the mountains\, to the wilderness\, of course\, to cultivate upright Confucian values\, write poetry\, paint paintings\, and\, naturally\, drink some tea and lots of wine. And in the paintings\, he might hide some delicately rendered political commentary. But Arnold Chang\, America’s modern master in Chinese painting whose paintings are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco\, and many others\, is more interested in the art than the politics. In a very special personal and scholarly talk\, Chang will share his insights into the meaning and artistry of Chinese painting\, from ancient times to today\, and then join a conversation with Chinese art expert Jane DeBevoise\, Co-Chair of Asia Art Archive.
