Bill Keller\, one of America’s most accomplished journalists\, has spent years immersed in the subject. He argues that the most important role of prisons is preparing incarcerated people to be good neighbors and good citizens when they return to society\, as the overwhelming majority will. \nKeller takes us inside the walls of our prisons\, where we meet men and women who have found purpose while in state custody; American corrections officials who have set out to learn from Europe’s state-of-the-art prison campuses; a rehab unit within a Pennsylvania prison\, dubbed Little Scandinavia\, where lifers serve as mentors; a college behind bars in San Quentin; a women’s prison that helps imprisoned mothers bond with their children; and Keller’s own classroom at Sing Sing. \nSurprising in its optimism\, What’s Prison For? is an indispensable guide on how to improve our prison system\, and a powerful argument that the status quo is a shameful waste of human potential. \nHis acclaimed book\, What’s Prison For? Punishment and Rehabilitation in the Age of Mass Incarceration\, will be available at the event. \nAbout the Speaker:Bill Keller is founding editor-in-chief of the Marshall Project\, an independent nonprofit news organization focused on crime and punishment in the U.S. For 8 years\, he was the Executive Editor of The New York Times\, and during his 30 years with The Times\, he also worked as a correspondent and op-ed columnist. As a foreign correspondent\, he reported on the collapse of the Soviet Union\, winning a Pulitzer Prize in 1989. Following Moscow\, he became chief of the Times bureau in Johannesburg\, covering the end of white rule in South Afric \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/whats-prison-for-punishment-and-rehabilitation-in-the-age-of-mass-incarceration/ LOCATION:Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater CATEGORIES:LECTURE ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/bill_keller.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221117T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221117T190000 DTSTAMP:20260405T111502 CREATED:20230801T110516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T132936Z UID:10000042-1668708000-1668711600@hmh.org SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture | Charlotte Salomon: A Life Before and After Auschwitz DESCRIPTION:Charlotte Salomon (1917-1943) was a talented Berlin-born artist who was murdered at Auschwitz\, while four months pregnant\, at the age of 26. Her main body of work\, a sequence of nearly 800 gouache images entitled Leben? or Theater? (Life? or Theatre?) and created while seeking refuge in the South of France\, is an ambitious fictive autobiography which deploys both images and text\, and incorporates a wide range of musical\, literary\, and cinematic references. The narrative\, informed by Salomon’s experiences as a cultured\, and assimilated German Jewish woman\, depicts a life lived in the shadow of Nazi persecution and a family history of suicide\, but also reveals moments of intense happiness and hope. Challenging the artistic conventions of Salomon’s time\, it remains almost impossible to categorize. This illustrated lecture by London-based art historian Monica Bohm-Duchen will explore the multiple aspects of this sophisticated\, complex\, and haunting work\, and will reflect on its relevance for our own time. \nMonica Bohm-Duchen is a London-based writer\, lecturer and exhibition organizer. In 1995 she curated a major international exhibition entitled After Auschwitz: Responses to the Holocaust in Contemporary Art. She was co-curator of Life? or Theatre? The Work of Charlotte Salomon\, shown at the Royal Academy of Arts\, London in 1998\, and co-edited an anthology of critical essays entitled Charlotte Salomon: Gender\, Trauma\, Creativity\, published by Cornell University Press in 2006. Her book\, Art and the Second World War was published by Lund Humphries in association with Princeton University Press\, in 2013/14. She is the founding Director of Insiders/Outsiders [Insiders Outsiders Festival]\, an ongoing celebration of the contribution of refugees from Nazi Europe to British culture and beyond.\n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/virtual-lecture-charlotte-salomon-a-life-before-and-after-auschwitz/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Virtual Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/monica.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221116T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221116T190000 DTSTAMP:20260405T111502 CREATED:20230809T080339Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T132945Z UID:10000459-1668621600-1668625200@hmh.org SUMMARY:Moving Forward Lecture: Understanding and Combating the Rise in Antisemitism DESCRIPTION:Mark Toubin\, ADL Southwest Regional Director \nHolocaust Museum Houston’s Moving Forward Lecture Series kicks off with a presentation and discussion with Mark Toubin\, ADL’s (Anti-Defamation League) Southwest Regional Director.

His chamber music is completely original\, although somewhat akin to that of Shostakovich\, who made a great impression on young Weinberg when they met in Moscow. Mark Nowakowski is a living composer\, currently a professor at Kent University\, with whom Axiom Quartet was delighted to make contact. Nowakowski’s String Quartet No. 1 “Songs of Forgiveness” is somber and eerie\, full of deep emotional reflection rooted deeply in the memories of WW2. Finally\, String Quartet 2 by Szymanowski\, originally written for a chamber music competition in Philadelphia in 1927\, is considered one of his most avant-garde compositions. Full of impressionist and modernist colors\, it also uses the Polish Highlander folklore\, with quotations from a well-known song of the Polish Tatra mountains. \nThis varied program full of musical discoveries is generously sponsored by Consulate General of Poland and hosted by Holocaust Museum Houston. \nThis program is free\, but registration is necessary.\n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/axiom-quartet-concert-the-complexity-of-simplicity/ LOCATION:Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater CATEGORIES:Concert ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/axiom-quartet-for-web.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221102T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221102T213000 DTSTAMP:20260405T111502 CREATED:20230802T102034Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T133027Z UID:10000060-1667417400-1667424600@hmh.org SUMMARY:Author Talk: Dara Horn DESCRIPTION:All times are listed in Central Time. \nHolocaust Museum Houston is a proud Community Partner for this event. \nAward-winning novelist Dara Horn will discuss her book\, People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present. In this remarkable collection of essays\, Horn presents a unique perspective on modern-day antisemitism. Drawing on her extensive research\, she confronts people’s fascination with long-dead Jews and explores the benign reverence given to past horrors. The feel-good stories people share about dead Jews make it easy to dismiss the here-and-now targeting of living Jews. This book challenges us to get a little uncomfortable\, change our understanding and acknowledge the deeper implications of antisemitism in our world. \n \n Get Tickets URL:https://hmh.org/event/author-talk-dara-horn/ LOCATION:ERJCC Merfish Teen Center CATEGORIES:ANN AND STEPHEN KAUFMAN JEWISH BOOK & ARTS FESTIVAL ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/dara-horn-for-web.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221102T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221102T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T111502 CREATED:20230809T081939Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T133036Z UID:10000522-1667412000-1667419200@hmh.org SUMMARY:Texas Tribal Buffalo Project DESCRIPTION:Holocaust Museum Houston\, The Center for the Healing of Racism\, and Texas Tribal Buffalo Project invite you to an in-person presentation about efforts around rematriation of Texas Indigenous land and communities\, reconnecting and rekindling kinship.

She escapes to the safety of the South of France\, but her work there is interrupted by a family tragedy that reveals an even darker secret. Believing that only an extraordinary act will save her\, she embarks on the monumental adventure of painting her life story. \nEric Warin and Tahir Rana teamed up for the first time to direct “Charlotte” (2021) after falling in love with the story of the artist.

She is the nationally best-selling author of My (Underground) American Dream and Someone Like Me. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times\, TIME Magazine\, CNN\, CNBC\, Vogue and other outlets. Her newest book\, You Sound Like a White Girl: The Case for Rejecting Assimilation\, is a powerful dual polemic and manifesto against the myth that assimilation leads to happiness and belonging for immigrants in America. Instead\, she calls for a celebration of our uniqueness\, our origins\, our heritage\, and the beauty of the differences that actually make us Americans. Prior to becoming an author and immigrant rights activist\, Julissa built a successful career on Wall Street working for Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch and had seemingly achieved the American Dream—yet she was not part of what legally defined an American. Julissa immigrated to America from Mexico at the age of 11 and was undocumented for almost 15 years\, some of them spent rising to prominence on Wall Street. In order to help other young people in similar circumstances\, she co-founded the Ascend Educational Fund (AEF). AEF is a college scholarship and mentorship program for immigrant students in New York City\, regardless of their ethnicity\, national origin or immigration status. \nJulissa was named one of People en Español’s 25 Most Powerful Women of 2017 and 2022\, and 2018’s Woman of the Year by the City of Los Angeles. She is a leading voice in the fight for social justice\, immigrant rights and education equality. Julissa serves on the board of directors of the National Immigration Law Center. She was officially sworn in as an American citizen in August of 2014 and currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their two cats\, Nikko and Pancho. \nSpecial thanks to Amigos Meat Distributors\, LP for generously supporting the Museum’s Latinx Heritage Month Lecture Series. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/virtual-book-talk-you-sound-like-a-white-girl-the-case-for-rejecting-assimilation/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Latinx Heritage Month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/arce_web.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220907T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220907T203000 DTSTAMP:20260405T111502 CREATED:20230801T104421Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230801T104431Z UID:10000038-1662573600-1662582600@hmh.org SUMMARY:While Childhood Slept DESCRIPTION:While Childhood Slept is a heart-wrenching original musical that follows the true story of the boys of Home Number One in the Nazi concentration camp\, Terezin. The children create a secret republic within the camp\, publishing their own magazine of art\, poetry\, and short stories called Vedem. A visit from The Red Cross presents the opportunity to disguise their magazine as a secret message and a means of escape. With book and lyrics by Sharon Sheppard and music and additional lyrics by Jo Ellen Hubert\, While Childhood Slept is a story of bravery\, determination\, and hope\, with a promise that we will never forget the past and will never allow history to repeat itself. The Garden Theatre is elated to bring this show to Houston audiences in a public staged reading format\, which will feature a talkback after the performance with the artists that created the piece. After the performances of the staged reading\, The Garden Theatre will continue to develop the musical over the next year to bring a full production to Houston audiences in the 2023-2024 season.  \nWhile Childhood Slept premiered in 1999 in Houston\, TX. From there it received an off-Broadway reading\, and its finale number\, We Will Not Forget\, was featured in the documentary Paper Clips. In 2005\, a revised version with new songs was performed once again in Houston. While many theatre companies have requested to produce the show over the years\, only The Garden Theatre has been able to secure the rights to this touching musical\, which will now be seen for the first time in over 17 years. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

All event times are listed in Central time. \nJoin Holocaust Museum Houston for a special presentation by Rwandan genocide survivor Henriette Mutegwaraba\, as she recalls in her memoir\, By Any Means Necessary – Healing and Forgiveness After Genocide\, an idyllic childhood in 1970s Rwanda—idyllic until the day her fifth-year teacher called her out for being a “Tutsi cockroach.” She’d never heard that term\, but as Mr. Wilson went on to explain\, “We [Hutus] tried to kill them [Tutsis] in 1959\, and they’re still around. Like cockroaches\, the Tutsi are hard to exterminate.” It was Henriette’s first encounter with systematic discrimination\, and her country’s deeply held belief that one tribe was superior to another. A decade later\, that hate would manifest as the Rwandan genocide against Tutsis. Of her large and loving extended family\, Henriette alone would survive to tell her story\, which is really the story of Rwanda. A book for government leaders\, peace and human rights activists\, young people\, and anyone else who has ever felt “different” because of how God created them\, By Any Means Necessary follows Henriette on her harrowing journey to escape a violent death\, help rebuild a broken people\, and ultimately\, learn to forgive those who killed everyone she loved. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required.\n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/book-talk-by-any-means-necessary-by-henriette-mutegwaraba/ LOCATION:Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater CATEGORIES:Author Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/mutegwaraba-web.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220804T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220804T203000 DTSTAMP:20260405T111502 CREATED:20230727T105707Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T133915Z UID:10000010-1659641400-1659645000@hmh.org SUMMARY:A History of Hate: The Ongoing Fight Over Immigration DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the annual Latinx Initiatives Advisory Committee event\, Holocaust Museum Houston will host a special presentation and book talk with Dr. Jesus Esparza\, editor of the newly published book The Truth in Our Stories: Immigrant Voices in Radical Times. \nImmigration has long been a controversial issue in American politics and remains one of the country’s most pressing issues\, dividing the nation along political\, economic\, moral\, and ethical lines. Critics have long distorted the view of Latino immigrants\, depicting them as criminals who corrupt neighborhoods\, depress wages\, overpopulate the prison systems\, and drain the economy. This distorted narrative\, unfortunately\, persists in our present time. This lecture will present a brief history of the anti-immigration sentiment in the United States as context for why this misshapen narrative continues to exist presently.

Before becoming a judge\, RBG was a lawyer and a law professor. Join us on Thursday\, July 14\, 2022\, at 4:30 p.m. at the Museum to see a live reenactment of her last oral argument as an advocate before the United States Supreme Court. \nUsing an abridged version of the actual oral arguments in Duren v. Missouri\, 439 U.S. 357 (1979)\, a cast of lawyers and judges will invite the audience to step back in time to 1978\, when RBG made her case before an all-male court\, arguing that Missouri’s jury-selection system that allowed women to opt out of jury service violated the Sixth Amendment’s requirement that an impartial jury be drawn from a fair cross-section of the community. The program will begin with an overview of the background and procedural history of the case to set the stage for the oral arguments that will follow. The reenactment will feature a cast of twelve historical figures: nine United States Supreme Court justices and three advocates. A seasoned appellate practitioner will open and close the program and share reflections on the case and the role it played in RBG’s legacy as an advocate for gender equality. \nThe Houston Bar Association’s reenactment will complement the exhibition Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg\, on view in the Museum’s Josef and Edith Mincberg Gallery through July 31\, 2022. \nThis is an in-person event. Admission is free and open to the public.
