SUMMARY:Fresh Prints
DESCRIPTION:Open house will feature a breadth of printing equipment that you will be invited to use. You’ll get to see how the designers at Bowne lock up limited edition designs that showcase some of the more eccentric parts from the Seaport Museum’s printing and graphic arts collection.

The Bowne & Co. that you can experience today at the Seaport Museum is an offshoot of the original and continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing. Advanced registration is encouraged for this free open house but walkups will be accommodated as possible. Anyone ages 12 and up is welcome.

SUMMARY:Environmental Legacies: How the War of Independence Affected the Natural World in Predictable and Surprising Ways
DESCRIPTION:We don’t always consider the powerful impact that the War of Independence had on the physical landscape of 18th century America – much less how those impacts might still be seen and felt today. Join Professor David C. Hsiung for fascinating insights into the lasting legacies of the Revolution on the natural world\, including deforestation at Valley Forge\, raids that seized animals but also produced some surprisingly “positive” effects\, and lead musket balls left on battlefields that may only now be poisoning the land.

SUMMARY:Stories Survive – Imagining Jewish Futures in World War II Labor Camps: A Gendered Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in late 1940\, over three thousand Jewish girls and young women were forced from their family homes in Sosnowiec\, Poland and its surrounding towns to worksites in Germany. Believing that they were helping their families to survive\, these young people were thrust into a world where they labored at textile work for twelve hours a day\, lived in barracks with little food\, and received only periodic news of events back home. By late 1943\, their barracks had been transformed into concentration camps\, where they were held until liberation in 1945. Reconstructing their experiences from their own testimonies\, this talk with Dr. Janine Holc\, based on her book The Weavers of Tratenau\, will explore how these teenaged girls and young unmarried women conceived of their future while they were held in these camps – how they supported each other and sustained their senses of themselves as Jews with a past\, present\, and future – while only gradually facing the reality of what had happened to Jewish life in Europe.
