SUMMARY:“The Teacher of Auschwitz” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Amid the brutality of the Holocaust\, one bright spot shone inside the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz. In the shadows of the smokestacks was a wooden hut where children sang\, staged plays\, wrote poetry\, and learned about the world. Within those four walls\, brightly adorned with hand-painted cartoons\, the youngest prisoners were kept vermin-free\, received better food\, and were even taught to imagine having full stomachs and a day without fear. Their guiding light was a twenty-seven-year-old gay\, Jewish athlete: Fredy Hirsch.

SUMMARY:Battery Park City Tour: The North Neighborh
DESCRIPTION:The North Neighborhood tour of the Museum’s three thematic walking tours of Battery Park City\, on Thursday\, July 17 at 4pm\, will cover the north residential neighborhood\, which was developed in several phases\, beginning with Stuyvesant High School at the northeast edge and the esplanade and Rockefeller Park along the Hudson. A diagonal avenue lined with apartment buildings creates one face of the neighborhood\, while the inner courts of the large blocks are connected by the delightful Teardrop Park. Located two blocks from ground zero\, we will also explore the history and design of the Irish Hunger Memorial completed in 2001.
