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?

Multidimensional artist and historian Kamau Ware is Founder of Black Gotham Experience (BGX)\, an immersive multimedia project that reimagines the spaces directly impacted by the African Diaspora as human stories\, Ware has become a voice to fill the visual abyss of Black New York history with research and illuminating creativity. Risë Wilson founded The Laundromat Project in 1999\, an award-winning organization that connects artists and communities of color to their capacity to envision the world in which we all want to live\, and the skills sets to make it so.

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:“What They Didn’t Burn” Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:What if you uncovered a Nazi paper trail that revealed your father to be a man very different from the quiet\, introspective dad you knew… or thought you knew? Growing up\, author Mel Laytner saw his father as a quintessential Type B: passive and conventional. As he uncovered documents the Nazis didn’t burn\, however\, another man emerged—a black market ringleader and wily camp survivor who made his own luck. The tattered papers also shed light on painful secrets his father took to his grave. Melding the intimacy of personal memoir with the rigors of investigative journalism\, What They Didn’t Burn: Uncovering My Father’s Holocaust Secrets is a heartwarming\, inspiring story of resilience and redemption. A story of how desperate survivors turned hopeful refugees rebuilt their shattered lives in America\, all the while struggling with the lingering trauma that has impacted their children to this day. Join the Museum for a conversation with Laytner and Jane Eisner\, Director of Academic Affairs at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University and former editor-in-chief of The Forward\, about What They Didn’t Burn.
