SUMMARY:“Truus’ Children” Screening And Discussion
DESCRIPTION:In December 1938\, Dutch social worker Truus Wijsmuller was invited to a meeting with Nazi official Adolf Eichmann regarding the transportation of Jewish children out of Nazi territory. With Eichmann’s permission\, she quickly organized 600 Jewish children in Vienna and helped transport them to safety in England and the Netherlands. She then continued organizing transports for the next 18 months\, becoming a central figure in the rescue network known as the Kindertransport. In total\, the Kindertransport saved the lives of approximately 10\,000 children. Join the Museum and the Netherlands’ diplomatic network in the US for a virtual screening and discussion of Truus’ Children\, a new film from Dutch filmmakers Pamela Sturhoofd and Jessica van Tijn exploring Wijsmuller’s remarkable legacy. As it tells Wijsmuller’s story\, the film also probes the question of why Wijsmuller has been largely forgotten in the 75 years since the World War II. This program will feature an exclusive panel discussion with Sturhoofd\, van Tijn\, and Ilse Bauer-Langsdorf\, one of the children saved by Truus Wijsmuller.

SUMMARY:Chip Dreams: Will China Catch Up with the West?
DESCRIPTION:Will China achieve its tech dreams? It all depends on whether it can produce advanced semiconductor chips\, the tiny piece of metal that are crucial to the functionality of smartphones\, modern cars\, and even hearing aids. It’s the access to those tiny chips that Beijing’s tech ambitions ultimately will pivot on. Join us as two tech policy experts share insights into the global chip competition. Until now\, China lacks the ability to produce advanced chips; the US\, Europe\, and Taiwan control the supply. Barred from buying cutting edge European equipment needed to fabricate high-end chips\, China relies on importing chip imports. Last year\, China imported $350 billion worth of chips\, one third of them coming from Taiwan. Now\, Xi Jinping is driving a self-reliance campaign\, investing heavily in chip manufacturing across the country. Will he succeed?

SUMMARY:In Search of China’s Soul: Why Confucius Matters Today
DESCRIPTION:China Institute welcomes Confucianism expert Zu-yan Chen\, who will introduce Confucius\, China’s greatest sage\, and the philosophy that has shaped Chinese governance\, values\, and ideas for thousands of years. Following the lecture\, contemporary China expert Zak Dychtwald will join Professor Chen in a conversation about Confucius’ legacy and his relevance in today’s hyper-modern China. Scholar\, philosopher\, and political sage\, Confucius is synonymous with Chinese morality and culture. But how much do most of us actually know about his thinking? How did Confucianism become the underpinning of the Chinese system of education and bureaucracy\, and how do we separate the facts from the myths surrounding his ideas? Most importantly\, why are we still talking about him after more than 2500 years? In short\, why does Confucius still matter today?

SUMMARY:Stories Survive: Dr. Rene David Alkalay
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Rene David Alkalay was born in March 1941 in Zagreb\, the capital of the former Yugoslavia (now Croatia). When Dr. Alkalay was just a few weeks old\, Croatia became a puppet state of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy\, and his father and paternal relatives were imprisoned in a concentration camp run by the country’s new Ustaša regime. Later that year\, Dr. Alkalay\, his mother\, and his maternal relatives were imprisoned in other Ustaša-run concentration camps\, where they remained for two years. After the camp was liberated\, Dr. Alkalay hid in the forest with partisan groups for a year and then was airlifted out of Yugoslavia to a Displaced Persons camp in Italy. He spent four years after the war at a Catholic school in Rome\, unaware of his true religious identity. In 1950\, Dr. Alkalay and his family emigrated to the United States\, where he later became a psychotherapist\, nutritionist\, and pastoral counselor. Join the Museum for a program exploring Dr. Alkalay’s story of survival in Croatia.

SUMMARY:“Into The Forest” Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:From a little-known chapter of Holocaust history\, Rebecca Frankel’s Into the Forest: A Holocaust Story of Survival\, Triumph\, and Love (which will be published on September 7\, 2021) is one family’s inspiring true story of love\, escape\, and survival. In the summer of 1942\, the Rabinowitz family narrowly escaped the Nazi ghetto in their Polish town by fleeing to the forbidding Bialowieza Forest. They miraculously survived two years in the woods―through brutal winters\, Typhus outbreaks\, and merciless Nazi raids―until they were liberated by the Red Army in 1944. During the first ghetto massacre\, Miriam Rabinowitz rescued a young boy named Philip by pretending he was her son. Nearly a decade later\, a chance encounter at a wedding in Brooklyn would lead Philip to find the woman who saved him. And to discover her daughter Ruth was the love of his life. Join the Museum for a program celebrating the launch of Into the Forest with Frankel and David Rothkopf\, host of the Deep State Radio podcast and CEO of The Rothkopf Group. Their conversation will be held live in the Museum’s Edmond J. Safra Hall.
