SUMMARY:Author Talk | When You Listen To This Song: On Memory\, Loss\, and Writing with Lola Lafon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reception in celebration of HMH’s Boniuk Library reopening its doors to researchers and community members. As centerpiece of the celebration\, French author Lola Lafon will present a discussion of her book\, When You Listen To This Song: On Memory\, Loss\, and Writing. \nIn 2021\, Lola Lafon was granted permission to stay overnight—alone for ten hours—in the Annex in Amsterdam where Anne Frank and her family had hidden from the Nazis between 1942 and 1944. Lola Lafon’s visit to this space\, where Anne Frank wrote her famous diary\, evoked the confinement and constant danger suffered by the Franks\, and the family’s ghostly presence as well. “The night was inhabited\, lit by reflections\,” the author writes. “Some urgency dwelled at the heart of the Annex\, crouched there\, ready to be discovered.” \nLola Lafon introduces a new vision of Anne Frank\, not as a venerated and exploited myth but as the precocious\, ambitious\, and beloved girl she was\, as well as a disciplined writer whose well-loved diary is in fact a carefully constructed literary work. Throughout\, Lola Lafon reflects on what it means to lose loved ones\, both Lola Lafon’s own family in the Holocaust and her childhood friend to the Khmer Rouge. A prize-winner and bestseller in France\, this book asks us to consider the stories we tell ourselves about tragedy\, how we grapple with loss\, and why\, in the face of danger and confinement\, women write. \nThe event will take place in the Boniuk Library on the third floor. Light refreshments will be served. \n			\n				RSVP

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening | Anachronous
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of Anachronous\, a new exhibition from Argentinian photographer Cynthia Isakson. The artist incorporates family photos into her own work\, weaving together their stories with hers to create a new narrative. Featuring 18 digital photographs printed on breathable waterproof fabric\, Anachronous projects moments from the past on top of contemporary portraits. Witness Warsaw\, Buenos Aires\, and Houston through five generations of the artist’s family.   \nThis exhibition is rooted in the power of family photos to tell a story\, to capture a moment in time that might otherwise be lost. In times of war and displacement\, people are forced to leave behind their homes\, their possessions\, and often their loved ones. But amidst the chaos and fear\, many choose to take with them a small piece of their past: a photograph that represents their history and identity. The photographs serve as a tangible link between the past\, present\, and future\, reminding us of where we came from and who we are. \n			\n				RSVP

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening | Growing Up Jewish – Art & Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the exhibition opening of Growing Up Jewish – Art & Storytelling. Through contemporary paintings\, Jacquelline Kott-Wolle’s work explores the key people\, experiences\, and community that shaped the artist. The exhibition traces the story of one North American Jewish family through five generations from 1925 to the present. \nPaired with the artist’s own narration\, the exhibition presents playful images of Jewish holidays\, moments at Hebrew school and vacations as well as milestone celebrations marked by the artist’s family through the years. Kott-Wolle’s Jewish identity was informed by the experiences of her parents and grandparents who arrived in Canada in 1949 after the Holocaust. As a member of the ‘Second Generation\,’ she reflects on how her forebears faced the enormous task of starting over upon surviving one of modern history’s darkest chapters. The exhibition includes paintings of this colorful cast of characters as they rebuild their lives and flourish in North America’s vibrant Jewish communities. Growing Up Jewish – Art & Storytelling speaks to the resilience of newcomers who must navigate a painful past\, contend with tradition and summon optimism for the future. \nGrowing Up Jewish – Art & Storytelling is a series of contemporary oil paintings and short narratives about Jewish identity in North America. Together with her written reflections on being Jewish\, Kott-Wolle takes the viewer on a journey into her grandmother’s kitchen at Passover\, her Zeidi’s textile store\, her summer camp and more. \n			\n				RSVP

SUMMARY:Author Event | "A Blessing\, Not a Burden" by Dr. Alex Kor
DESCRIPTION:By all accounts\, Dr. Alex Kor’s life has been a miracle. The son of two Holocaust survivors who narrowly escaped death\, Alex grew up in Indiana — a state with Midwestern charm and an ignominious history of prejudice. In A Blessing\, Not a Burden\, Alex details his incredible journey\, from his unique upbringing to his present-day mission of carrying on his parents’ inspiring legacy. From his mother’s controversial stance on forgiving the Nazis to his father’s unbridled optimism\, Alex shares life lessons that have helped him overcome his own hardships along the way. Alex also offers his own perspective on forgiveness as he nurtures his parents’ legacies in a world still fraught with discrimination. He’s traveled a long and winding road\, from Terre Haute\, Indiana\, to Auschwitz and many places in between and like his parents\, he has endured… and overcome. \nAs antisemitism festers across the globe\, A Blessing\, Not a Burden takes readers back to one of the most horrific periods in human history\, reminding us of the terrible costs of hate and warning us that we are not so far removed from those dangers as we might think. Yet\, at the same time\, the story of the Kor family stands as a living memorial to the belief that the human spirit can overcome even the darkest of circumstances. \n			\n				RSVP

SUMMARY:Stefi Altman Free Admission Day
DESCRIPTION:Museum admission will be waived on Thursday\, May 15\, 2025 in honor of Holocaust survivor Stefi Altman\, z”l. \nStefi Altman was just 13 years old when Germany overran Poland in September 1939. Soon after\, Stefi’s two older brothers were arrested and sent to a labor camp\, and Nazi soldiers brutuall beat her fater and drove the family from their house. They fled to Stefi’s grandfather’s farm\, taking shelter in the barn. \nThe family remained together until 1940\, when Stefi was sent to the labor camp of Jastkov. Later she was sent to Treblinka and Majdanek. Next\, she was sent to the camp of Dorohucza. Although Dorohucza had neither gas chambers nor crematoria of the other camps\, death always hovered nearby. Like Stefi\, many of the inmates were only half alive by the time they got there. At the end of 1943\, Stefi discovered that her sister\, Kayla\, had also been sent to Dorohucza. But relief soon turned to horror when Kayla was brutally murdered. \nStefi managed\, against all odds\, to escape Dorohucza. For the remainder of the war\, she hid in a coffin-like space underneath a barn that belonged to a sympathetic Polish farmer. After she was liberated by the Soviets\, she learned that her entire family had been murdered. \nStefi Altman\, z”l\, passed away in December 2017. \n			\n				GET FREE TICKETS
