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.

SUMMARY:A Conversation With Helen Epstein About The Second Generation
DESCRIPTION:In 1979\, Helen Epstein published Children of the Holocaust\, one of the first books to examine the intergenerational transmission of trauma from Holocaust survivors to their children. In the four decades since its publication\, Epstein has published 11 additional books (including Franci’s War\, a memoir of her mother’s life\, in 2020) and has served as a leading voice among descendants of survivors. She is also active in Holocaust memorialization work in the Czech Republic\, where her family is from. As Holocaust survivors get older and their descendants assume the mantle of Holocaust memory\, the issues raised by Epstein’s work are taking on new and important meanings. Join Epstein and Ellen Bachner Greenberg\, founder of Descendants of Holocaust Survivors (2G Greater New York)\, for a conversation about Epstein’s life and legacy and the questions she faces today.

SUMMARY:John Wasik on "Lincolnomics: Why the 16th President's Vision for Economic Progress Still Rocks"
DESCRIPTION:Webinar. Has there ever been a time when Abraham Lincoln has gone silent? Our immortal conscience on civil rights and individual freedom is speaking to us yet again in the time of COVID and public unrest. Yet Lincoln has managed to become even more relevant as we tackle infrastructure\, healthcare\, climate change and human rights. The forthcoming book by John Wasik\, Lincolnomics: How President Lincoln Constructed the Great American Economy\, puts the 16th President in a powerful new light: He was our foremost architect of economic development\, equal treatment and physical and intellectual improvements\, from transportation to medical research. In this presentation\, Wasik will show a vastly under-studied side of Lincoln. As the only President to hold a patent\, he was an innovator. During his brief time as a surveyor\, he was an urban planner. Surprisingly\, his longest and most comprehensive speeches were devoted to the culture of invention\, “internal improvements” and research and development.

SUMMARY:Painting The Holocaust: Remembering Alfred Kantor And His Sketchbook
DESCRIPTION:In December 1941\, Alfred Kantor arrived at the Terezin Ghetto. An 18 year old artist from Prague with one year of study at the Rotter School of Advertising Art under his belt\, Kantor began to draw scenes around him. “My commitment to drawing came out of a deep instinct of self-preservation\,” he later wrote\, “and undoubtedly helped me to deny the unimaginable horrors of that time.” Kantor continued drawing and painting at night after he was deported to Auschwitz and to Schwarzheide\, and then again after the war in the Deggendorf Displaced Persons Camp. The hundreds of sketches and watercolors he produced between 1941 and 1947 constitute one of the most prolific artistic records of the Holocaust. This is a celebration of Kantor’s remarkable life and legacy\, featuring his daughter Monica Churchill; Zuzana Justman\, a filmmaker and writer who interviewed Kantor for her film Terezin Diary; and Dr. Ori Z. Soltes\, Professor of the Teaching of Jewish Civilization at Georgetown University and former Director the B’nai B’rith Klutznick National Jewish Museum with a specialty in art and the Holocaust.

SUMMARY:Chengdu Greenland: A Non-Coplanar Exoskeleton
DESCRIPTION:Skyscraper Museum webinar. Supertall projects have been central to Dennis Poon’s career as a structural engineer. Poon worked on the teams for the Petronas Towers (1998) in Kuala Lumpur and Taipei 101 (2004) in Taiwan\, the first skyscrapers outside of the United States to become\, in succession\, the world’s tallest buildings. Dennis has extensive experience in seismic design\, structural investigations\, and optimization of structural systems\, and he has worked with conservative Chinese authorities to accept design criteria that reflect international standards and thus allow for more efficient structures. Dennis’s talk will focus on the innovative structural system of the Chengdu Greenland Tower.

SUMMARY:Hidden Meanings and Beyond in Chinese Painting
DESCRIPTION:What does a Chinese artist do in a time of chaos and oppression? Flee to the mountains\, to the wilderness\, of course\, to cultivate upright Confucian values\, write poetry\, paint paintings\, and\, naturally\, drink some tea and lots of wine. And in the paintings\, he might hide some delicately rendered political commentary. But Arnold Chang\, America’s modern master in Chinese painting whose paintings are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco\, and many others\, is more interested in the art than the politics. In a very special personal and scholarly talk\, Chang will share his insights into the meaning and artistry of Chinese painting\, from ancient times to today\, and then join a conversation with Chinese art expert Jane DeBevoise\, Co-Chair of Asia Art Archive.

SUMMARY:Pieces of China: Wendy Paulson on the Spoon-billed Sandpiper
DESCRIPTION:Less than two months after hatching\, the tiny Spoon-billed Sandpiper begins the long journey from Russia’s arctic tundra to the coast of China. No guide\, no map\, no GPS. But the baby birds instinctively know exactly where to go: to the mudflats of Jiangsu province. Unfortunately\, industry and reclamation threaten the birds’ habitats. Spoon-billed Sandpipers are one of the most threatened species in the world\, with fewer than 100 remaining. Join us as Wendy Paulson\, conservationist\, birder\, teacher\, shares her encounters with this fascinating bird and how a growing environmental movement in China might ensure its future.

SUMMARY:Stories Survive: Manfred Ohrenstein
DESCRIPTION:Manfred Ohrenstein was born in Mannheim\, Germany in 1925. He grew up under increasingly restrictive Nazi rules\, holding his Bar Mitzvah at age 13 on the precipice of the Holocaust. In November 1938\, less than a week before Kristallnacht\, Ohrenstein and his family escaped Germany\, made their way to London\, and then found refuge in New York City. Ohrenstein attended high school\, college\, and law school in his new home\, shedding his German accent along the way and practicing public speaking as a soapbox orator on behalf of Zionism. Ohrenstein became a prominent civic leader in New York\, representing Manhattan from 1961 to 1994 in the New York State Senate and serving as the Minority Leader of the State Senate for more than half of his tenure. He co-founded the Museum in the 1980s and still serves as a Vice Chairman of its Board of Trustees. Join Ohrenstein and Jack Kliger\, Museum President & CEO\, for this Stories Survive program exploring Ohrenstein’s story of escape and leadership.
