At the end of 1940\, Walter\, his parents and his sister\, Rysia\, were herded into a Jewish ghetto. One day in 1941\, the ghetto residents were told to gather in the city square. There\, in front of her family\, Rysia was lined up with other young children and shot to death. Twelve-year-old Walter was sent with his father to the labor camp of Pionki\, later to Auschwitz and Sosnowiec\, and finally to Mauthausen and two of its sub-camps. \nWalter and his father were liberated by the 71st Infantry Division of the United States Army on May 5\, 1945. Taken to a hospital to recuperate\, Walter regained his strength\, but his father succumbed a month later. Walter made his way back to Poland\, where he was reunited with his mother. In 1947\, Walter came to the United States\, settling in Kansas City\, Missouri. There\, he finished his schooling\, started a career in sales and was drafted and served proudly during the Korean War. Walter was able to bring his mother to the United States\, where she settled in Washington\, DC. \nWalter moved to Houston\, where he established a successful import business. He was active in Jewish causes\, sitting on the boards of the Anti-Defamation League and Holocaust Museum Houston. The Anti-Defamation League established a Teachers’ Award in Walter’s name\, and he was the first recipient of the St. Augustine Award from St. Thomas University in recognition of his life-changing impact on others.

Soon after\, Stefi’s two older brothers were arrested and sent to a labor camp\, and Nazi soldiers brutally beat her father 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. \nSupported by the Stefi Altman Endowment Fund.

Photographer Leslie Kee lived in Japan for 25 years. As a bisexual himself\, he trains his gaze routinely on subjects of taboo and discrimination. He was the perfect match for the “Out In Japan\,” aiming to eventually feature 10\,000 LGBTQIA+s throughout Japan. He feels the time has come to push back against the pervasive prejudice and legal discrimination. The film follows the ambitious project for over a year as Leslie completes the first 1\,000 portraits. We get to intimately know a set of very different protagonists: two women\, deeply in love\, who have their first child and are faced with a society not ready to accommodate their family structure. Another woman\, devastated by the loss of her female partner to suicide\, finds hope in finally fulfilling her lifelong ambition of becoming a man. And a gay university professor who fights against the steep discrimination HIV-positives still face in Japan. Even Leslie himself has a life-changing experience. \nDirected by Ayumi Nakagawa. This film will be screened in Japanese and have English subtitles. \n(2018; 79 min; Japan; Japanese; Color; Digital) \nFollowing the screening of “Portraits of the Rainbow\,” Pride Portraits founder Eric Edward Schell will speak about how he created a global movement in Houston\, Texas by combining activism and photography. The LGBTQIA+ community and its allies\, with the help of Pride Portraits have a platform to share their narratives their way. Schell will also speak about Stonewall 50\, and what this past June meant for LGBTQIA+ History. \nOver the past two and a half years\, Pride Portraits has become the largest LGBTQIA+ visibility campaign to date. The campaign\, comprised of a photograph and statement from each participant\, seeks to represent the community and its allies one photograph and story at a time. \n \n REGISTER TO ATTEND URL:https://hmh.org/event/portraits-of-the-rainbow/ LOCATION:Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater CATEGORIES:FILM SCREENING ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/photo_3_ocean.jpg__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190801T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190801T090000 DTSTAMP:20260404T083505 CREATED:20230809T080410Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T130923Z UID:10000328-1564642800-1564650000@hmh.org SUMMARY:National Deli Month DESCRIPTION:During National Delicatessen Month\, August 1-31\, both Kenny and Ziggy’s New York Delicatessen & Restaurant locations are offering a multi-choice\, three-course menu during lunch and dinner for $38\, plus tax and gratuity\, with 10 percent of each meal sold going to HMH to fund the Museum’s education programs. \nAs an added incentive\, HMH will offer anyone who purchases a National Deli Month meal a complimentary ticket. \nFor more information\, visit www.delimonth.com. \n \n SEE THE MENU URL:https://hmh.org/event/national-deli-month/ LOCATION:Both Kenny & Ziggy’s locations CATEGORIES:Celebration ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/ziggy_1975.jpg__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190801T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190831T210000 DTSTAMP:20260404T083505 CREATED:20230809T080413Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T130908Z UID:10000331-1564642800-1567285200@hmh.org SUMMARY:National Deli Month DESCRIPTION:During National Delicatessen Month\, August 1-31\, both Kenny and Ziggy’s New York Delicatessen & Restaurant locations are offering a multi-choice\, three-course menu during lunch and dinner for $38\, plus tax and gratuity\, with 10 percent of each meal sold going to HMH to fund the Museum’s education programs. \nAs an added incentive\, HMH will offer anyone who purchases a National Deli Month meal a complimentary ticket. \nFor more information\, visit www.delimonth.com. \n \n SEE THE MENU URL:https://hmh.org/event/national-deli-month-3/ LOCATION:Both Kenny & Ziggy’s locations CATEGORIES:Celebration ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/ziggy_1975.jpg__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190801T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190801T113000 DTSTAMP:20260404T083505 CREATED:20230802T113433Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T113524Z UID:10000076-1564653600-1564659000@hmh.org SUMMARY:Boniuk Library Book Club – “Little Fires Everywhere” DESCRIPTION:Join the Boniuk Library Book Club at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston for a special meeting where books and art collide.

Between 1939 and 1945\, Bill and his family lived on the run.

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 Bill 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\,” recalls Bill. Although the family was together\, life was tremendously difficult\, suffering from hunger and malnutrition for the next several years. \nThis special event will be at Kenny & Ziggy’s for National Delicatessen Month.
