SUMMARY:Film Screening: Invención de la Naturaleza
DESCRIPTION:“Invención de la Naturaleza” is a collaborative film piece with a duration of 62 minutes that resorts to narrative cinema\, documentary testimonials\, archival footage and literary discourse to reflect on the nature of socio-political repercussions of borders and their defining of an individual’s perception of self and “the other”. An imaginary account of travels by Mina across the US-Mexico border in a futile attempt to reconstruct her past. \nThe screening will be followed by a live Q&A with the filmmakers. ​ \nAlejandro Sescosse (Co-director) – Alejandro has worked in all aspects of film production since 2008. Born in Mexico City and a Texas resident for 23 years\, he lives and works in the Houston area. He obtained a liberal arts degree in Philosophy at the University of Texas in Austin\, studied the technical aspects of filmmaking at the New York film academy and gained real life experience working on independent film productions in New York City. After completing his first feature length project in 2019\, Alejandro’s interest lies in expanding on the possibilities of nano production models nearing cinema to the individual human scale. Films closer to writing in the simplicity of its material requirements but infinitely complex in its possibilities. \nAnna Veselova (Editor) – Originally from Moscow\, Russia\, Anna moved to Houston\, TX 10 years ago and switched from her career in finance to art photography. Since she was discovered by Getty Images in 2010\, Anna had several exhibitions\, worked on the movie sets as a backstage photographer and as a principal photographer for Houston Cinema Arts Festival where she met Alejandro in 2015. In the same year she started participating in commercial and short film productions as an editor and in 2019 co-edited the film titled Invention of Nature – a feature length project directed by A. Sescosse and S. Bastani. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required to receive the private Zoom link. \nThis film is in English and Spanish\, with subtitles. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Helen Epstein\, Second Generation Author
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.

They smuggled arms through Europe\, harbored parachuting agents\, coordinated communications between regional sectors\, trekked escape routes to Spain and hid Jewish children in scattered apartments. They were subjected to a series of French prisons and deported to Germany. By the time they were enslaved at the labor camp in Leipzig\, they were a close-knit group of friends. During the final days of the war\, forced onto a death march\, the nine chose their moment and made a daring escape. \nPlease note: Face masks are required for all guests ages 2 and up.

SUMMARY:Teaching Holocaust Herstory: Mothers\, Daughters\, Fighters\, and Survivors
DESCRIPTION:Two girls who fought with the partisans in Croatia; a teenager who survived the Holocaust because she was sentenced to ten years’ hard labor in the Gulag—for joining a youth group; a girl who survived\, unlike her parents\, because they courageously sent her to England on the Kindertransport. The experiences of women in the Holocaust are varied and Centropa’s stories and photographs of women from different countries\, of all ages and diverse socio-economic backgrounds\, help you explore human themes through real life stories. \nIn this online\, 90-minute webinar\, both Centropa and Holocaust Museum Houston will share user-friendly materials about women in the Holocaust\, usable in online or in-class teaching. Participating teachers will return to class with specific activities for teaching these stories and Houston teachers will earn 1.5 hours CPE credit. \nHolocaust Museum Houston is dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust\, remembering the 6 million Jews and other innocent victims\, and honoring the survivors’ legacy. Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides\, we teach the dangers of hatred\, prejudice\, and apathy. \nCentropa interviewed 1\,200 elderly Jews living in 15 European countries. We asked our respondents to tell us their entire life stories spanning the 20th c. as they showed us their old family photographs. Centropa offers teachers a database of thousands of annotated photos\, hundreds of interviews\, and scores of award-winning\, short multimedia films (no longer than 30 minutes)—ideal for virtual or in-class projects that teach digital literacy\, promote critical thinking\, increase global awareness and all free of charge. Each summer we bring 25 US teachers to the great cities of Central Europe to travel with 80 teachers from 15 countries; in 2022 we will be in Berlin.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Dr. Ivan Puš
DESCRIPTION:Jewish people who lived in late-19th century Central Eastern Europe experienced oppression on one hand and emancipation on the other hand\, depending on the specific time and place. This was the case for Moravian Jews. Those individuals and families that were exceptionally successful in their own business or in the arts participated in the everyday politics and public discussions on the local level and the imperial level. After the First World War they largely showed their loyalty to the Czechoslovak state while preserving their original culture. Featuring a world of fiction and cafés\, this presentation will focus on the social life of Moravian Jews in the interwar period and explore a range of Jewish experiences in Central Eastern Europe. \nIvan Puš\, Ph.D. (1987) is a Czech social and cultural historian who focuses on Czech-German relations and the history of education in the late Habsburg Monarchy. As a Fulbright Visiting Professor\, he has been teaching history and Jewish Studies courses at the University of Houston. He received his PhD from the Palacký University in Olomouc\, Czech Republic\, in 2018. Dr. Puš is a scholar of European nationalisms in the nineteenth and twentieth century with a focus on the Habsburg Monarchy and its successor states. He is particularly interested in the Czech-German relations and the history of the Jews in Eastern Europe. He has previously received fellowships from the University of Vienna and University of Palermo. He has been employed as Assistant Professor of History at the Palacký University since 2019. \nThe event will be hosted in person. Admission is free and open to the public. \nPlease note: Face masks are required for all guests ages 2 and up. Complimentary masks are available at the Security desk.\n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:The Systematic Persecution of Uyghurs: Conversation with a Genocide Survivor
DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston for a critical discussion with the organization Campaign for Uyghurs and hear from a Uyghur survivor. \n“The Uyghurs\, a Turkic Muslim group\, have been targeted by the Chinese government for decades. In recent years\, the government has escalated a campaign of persecution and mass detention in a sprawling system of forced labor camps and prisons. Between one and three million Uyghurs—of a population of 12 million—are currently in some form of detention\, and those who are not still face rapidly tightening control restricting their ability to express their identity.” – United States Holocaust Memorial Museum \nCampaign for Uyghurs works to promote and advocate for the human rights and democratic freedoms for the Uyghurs and other Turkic people in East Turkistan (referred to in China as “Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region”). It mobilizes individuals and the international community and builds bridges to take action on behalf of and to raise public awareness of the Uyghur issue with a special focus on Uyghur women and youth\, and to activate persons and entities to work together to stop the systematic human rights abuses against the people of East Turkistan.    \nThis event will be hosted in person. Admission is free and open to the public. Advance registration is required. \nFace masks are required for all guests ages two and up.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Josefina's Habichuelas / Las Habichuelas de Josefina by Jasminne Mendez
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special bilingual presentation of Jasminne Mendez’s newest children’s book\, Josefina’s Habichuelas / Las Habichuelas de Josefina. \nLike all kids\, Josefina loves to eat sweets. She loves warm chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven\, cupcakes and candy! One night\, while eating a piece of flan\, Mami asks her to consider giving up sweets for Lent\, the 40 days leading up to Easter. “That’s impossible!” Josefina says. When Mami promises to teach her how to make her favorite dessert\, habichuelas con dulce\, she agrees to give it a try. \nJosefina can’t wait to end her fast and eat the delicious sweet cream beans\, her family’s traditional Easter dessert. While she and her mom\, tías and abuela prepare the dish\, they dance to merengue music and tell stories about life back in the Dominican Republic.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Dan Grunfeld
DESCRIPTION:All times are shown in Central Time. \nDan Grunfeld\, once a basketball standout himself at Stanford University\, shares the remarkable story of his family\, a delicately interwoven narrative that doesn’t lack in heartbreak yet remains as deeply nourishing as his grandmother’s Hungarian cooking. The true improbability of the saga lies in the discovery of a game that unknowingly held the power to heal wounds\, build bridges\, and tie together a fractured Jewish family. From the grips of the Nazis to the top of the Olympic podium\, from the cheap seats to center stage at Madison Square Garden\, from yellow stars to silver spoons\, this story navigates the spectrum of the human experience to detail how perseverance\, love\, and legacy can survive through generations. Ernie Grunfeld\, Dan’s father\, escaped to America and went on to reach unimaginable heights as an NBA player and executive. \nBy The Grace Of The Game: The Holocaust\, A Basketball Legacy\, And An Unprecedented American Dream is available for pre-order at Brazos Bookstore. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Advance registration is required to receive the private Zoom link. \n			\n				Register
