SUMMARY:The Music of Mieczyslaw Weinberg
DESCRIPTION:Holocaust Museum Houston\, together with Rice University’s Boniuk Institute for Religious Tolerance and DACAMERA\, presents The Music of Mieczyslaw Weinberg\, a free performance by pianist and DACAMERA Artistic Director Sarah Rothenberg with DACAMERA Young Artists. The performance will be preceded by a panel discussion\, Mieczyslaw Weinberg:  Music as Memory\,  featuring Rothenberg in discussion with Houston Grand Opera music director Patrick Summers and Boston Globe critic Jeremy Eichler\, author of the forthcoming book\, “Time’s Echo: War\, Modern Music\, and the Soundscapes of Memory.” This panel of musical experts will explore the fascinating life story of Polish-Russian Jewish composer Mieczeslaw Weinberg (1919-1996)\, encompassing many of the struggles and tragedies of the twentieth century\, and whose recently rediscovered compositions are finally receiving international recognition. Weinberg’s “Piano Quintet\,” composed in 1944\, is a dramatic and powerful testament to the historical moment in which it was composed. \nThe performance and panel discussion are part of the Boniuk Institute’s ongoing efforts to promote religious tolerance and literacy. \nThis project is co-presented by Rice University’s Boniuk Institue for Religious Tolerance\, DACAMERA and Holocaust Museum Houston. Major support is provided by The Boniuk Institute and the Association for Jewish Studies Arts and Culture Community Grant. \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:For Sama
DESCRIPTION:“For Sama” is both an intimate and epic journey into the female experience of war.

SUMMARY:Survivor Sunday - 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. No registration is necessary.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: "Dolores"
DESCRIPTION:Holocaust Museum Houston’s Latino Initiatives Advisory Committee and young professionals group\, NEXTGen\, invite you to a private film screening of “Dolores.” One of the most important\, yet least known activists of our time\, Dolores Huerta was an equal partner in founding the first farm workers union with César Chávez.

With unprecedented access to this intensely private mother of 11\, Peter Bratt’s film “Dolores” chronicles Huerta’s life from her childhood in Stockton\, California to her early years with the United Farm Workers\, from her work with the headline-making grape boycott launched in 1965 to her role in the feminist movement of the ’70s\, to her continued work as a fearless activist. \n“Dolores” Awards and Nominations: \n\n2017 Critics Choice Documentary Award – Most Compelling Living Subject of A Documentary\n2017 Critics Choice Documentary Award – Best Political Documentary (Nominated)\nSan Francisco International Film Festival Audience Award – Best Documentary Feature\nCinema Eye Honors Awards – The Unforgettables\n\nThis film will be screened in English and have Spanish subtitles. Admission is free and open to the public\, but advance registration is required. For more information\, please contact Rocio Rubio\, Corporate Relations Officer\, at rrubio@hmh.org or 713-527-1838.
