SUMMARY:The Restitution of Nazi-looted Art and What Remains to Be Done with Stuart Eizenstat
DESCRIPTION:During World War II\, some 600\,000 paintings were stolen or displaced. Much of the interest in providing belated justice for victims of the Holocaust and other victims of Nazi tyranny during World War II was the result of Stuart Eizenstat’s leadership as Special Representative of the President and Secretary of State on Holocaust-Era Issues during the Clinton Administration.  He successfully negotiated major agreements with the Swiss\, Germans\, Austrian and French\, and other European countries\, covering restitution of property\, payment for slave and forced laborers\, recovery of looted art\, bank accounts\, and payment of insurance policies. He recounts his Holocaust restitution negotiations in his book\, Imperfect Justice. \nStuart Eizenstat recently spoke in Paris at the 20th anniversary of the CIVS\, France’s institution for Holocaust-related payments\, and in Berlin on the 20th anniversary of the Washington Principles on Nazi-Looted Art\, which he negotiated in 1998 with 44 countries. He will give an update on what has happened in restitution of Nazi looted art and what remains to be done. \nStuart Elliott “Stu” Eizenstat is an American diplomat and attorney. He served as the United States Ambassador to the European Union from 1993 to 1996 and as the United States Deputy Secretary of the Treasury from 1999 to 2001. \nThis lecture will be followed by a book signing. A free book will be given to each person after the lecture. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Survivor Talk - Dr. Anna Steinberger
DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston as Holocaust Survivor Dr. Anna Steinberger shares her testimony. Germany attacked Poland in September 1939\, when Anna was 11 years old. As bombs fell\, Anna and her parents and older brother fled eastward together with thousands of other refugees. Eventually\, Anna’s family reached Rovno\, in the Soviet zone of occupied Poland. One day a Red Army soldier knocked on their door and offered them a choice: return home to the German zone of Poland\, or “resettle” in the Soviet Union. They chose the Soviet Union\, and were sent to Kolchoz\, near Stalingrad\, where they toiled on a collective farm. When Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941\, Anna’s brother was drafted into the Soviet Army and the rest of the family was relocated again\, this time to Alma Ata in the Kazakh Republic. \nThis event is free with Museum admission.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Survivor Talk - Bill Orlin
DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston as Holocaust Survivor Bill Orlin shares his testimony. Between 1939 and 1945\, Orlin and his family lived on the run. The eldest son of Sender and Sonia Orlinski\, he was seven years old when German troops invaded Poland and occupied his hometown of Brok. The Jewish residents were forcibly marched to Ostrow Mazowiecki\, about 50 miles northwest of Warsaw. \nThe forced march\, although terrifying at the time\, may have saved the family’s lives. Once Orlin and his family were in Soviet-controlled Poland\, they continued their eastward journey into the Soviet interior\, where they remained in relative safety for the rest of WWII. When Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941 the family “ran\,” as Orlin recalls. Although the family was together\, life was tremendously difficult\, suffering from hunger and malnutrition for the next several years. \nThis event is free with Museum admission.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Survivor Talk - Charles Kurt
DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston as Charles Kurt shares his testimony. As soon as the Nazis entered Austria in March 1938\, they began to terrorize and humiliate the Jews. They forced Charles’s mother to scrub the streets on hands and knees. Later\, she was arrested and held briefly on trumped-up charges. At school\, teachers and students openly ridiculed Charles and he and his mother had to give up their apartment. Worse was to come. On the night of November 9\, 1938\, brown-shirted storm troopers incited and carried out violent attacks against the Jews of Germany and Austria\, burning synagogues\, destroying homes and looting Jewish businesses. Thousands of Jewish men were arrested\, among them Charles’s stepfather Ernst Kurt. \nDesperate\, his mother arranged for Charles to travel to Belgium with a children’s transport. Ernst had already been released from Dachau and had gone to America. His father\, Paul\, wrote to each other every day. In one letter\, Paul told Charles that he had been taken to a labor camp in Poland. Charles never heard from his father again. He never learned what happened to him. In the spring of 1940\, just weeks before Germany invaded Belgium\, Charles was finally able to sail to America to join his mother and stepfather. \nThis event is free with Museum admission.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Survivor Sunday - Ruth Steinfeld
DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston as Holocaust Survivor Ruth Steinfeld shares her testimony. November 9\, 2018 marked the 80th anniversary of the November Pogrom known as Kristallnacht. During the November Pogrom\, Nazi thugs went through the streets of Germany and\, in plain view\, set synagogues on fire\, smashed the window fronts of Jewish businesses\, attacked Jewish people and vandalized their apartments. Houston Holocaust survivor\, Ruth Steinfeld experienced the November Pogrom first hand. \nRuth and her sister Lea lived in Sinsheim\, Germany when Hitler came to power. The family was deported to the Gurs interment camp in 1940\, and their mother was faced with a very difficult decision: to let a Jewish philanthropic organization called Oeuvres de Secours aux Enfants (OSE) take her daughters to safety\, or keep them with her. Ruth and her sister’s lives were forever altered after that moment. \nThis event is free with Museum admission.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Film Screening - "Black Honey: The Life and Poetry of Avraham Sutzkever"
DESCRIPTION:Russian-born poet Avraham Sutzkever is\, by many accounts\, the greatest Yiddish writer of modern times. He wrote with wit\, passion\, and vitality through the darkness of the Holocaust\, and led the Paper Brigade\, an underground resistance group that hid a cache of Jewish cultural items to protect them from destruction at the hands of the Nazis. Sutzkever was saved by a special rescue plane sent for him by Stalin\, and later testified in the Nuremberg trials against the Nazi who murdered his mother and son. Black Honey uncovers this extraordinary life through Sutzkever’s poetry and revealing how\, amidst the darkest times\, his poetry became a life-saving source of vitality and strength. \nDirectorUri Barbash \nReleased2018 \nLanguageHebrew\, English\, Yiddish with English subtitles \nRunning Time76 minutes \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred – Antisemitism Today
DESCRIPTION:Living\, as we do\, in a time of unmitigated hatred\, hate crimes\, acts of antisemitism and extremism\, we must take steps of awareness and action. With programming\, to include social media posts and a six-part workshop series (offered virtually)\, Holocaust Museum Houston takes on a new kind of leadership and outreach. \nThe goal of the Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred Program is to cultivate Upstanders who are aware of the power of hatred in human decision making and to provide community members an opportunity to learn important concepts of history\, civic awareness\, and social justice. This program empowers community members to reflect and act. \nWe must find ways to talk and interact with each other beyond boundaries. At the same time\, we must create ways to disallow hatred in our culture\, two actions that may seem contradictory\, but are essential in this time of our society’s history. \nIn each session of the Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred sessions\, we will share a critique of a piece of hate rhetoric\, extremism\, and/or antisemitism\, with the goal of educating the community on how to recognize\, reflect on and respond to hateful content. \nCoordinated with social media outreach\, we offer a series of six workshops co-facilitated by Mary Lee Webeck\, Ph.D.; Holocaust and Genocide Education Endowed Chair – Celebrating the Life of Survivor Naomi Warren and Beverly Nolan\, Ed.D.\, Chair – Education Advisory Committee\, Holocaust Museum Houston. \n			\n				Register
