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: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.

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:Know Before You Vote: Who Does What
DESCRIPTION:Every four years\, New Yorkers get to vote for the mayor\, public advocate\, and city comptroller. During the same election\, voters in each borough get to elect or re-elect their borough president and their city council member. But 2021 is a special year: thanks to turnover due to term limits\, we have the unique opportunity to elect all new leaders. How do we ensure that we make the best possible choices during this pivotal election? Join LMHQ\, the League of Women Voters\, the Alliance for Downtown New York\, and the Downtown-Lower Manhattan Association for an overview of the roles and responsibilities of NYC’s elected officials. The presentation will provide all of the information you need to understand about their jobs in order to elect the leaders who will guide us out of the Covid-19 crisis and allow New York to restore and reimagine itself.

SUMMARY:Architectural Acupuncture: How Design and Innovation Are Saving China’s Villages—and America’s Cities\, too
DESCRIPTION:How can design and innovation bring life back to an ailing community? It’s a global challenge. Join us as XU Tiantian\, one of China’s most innovative architects\, presents inspiring projects in Zhejiang’s countryside and shares notes with Joel Mills of the American Institute of Architects about how great design can make a difference. In the U.S.\, urban neighborhoods have suffered as the middle class has moved to the suburbs. But in China\, ancient rural villages are crumbling as farmers flock to the new\, glistening cities. A rural revitalization movement is beginning to tackle these problems\, and architecture is playing a key role.
