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. \nIn addition\, Harris County Public Health will be onsite at Holocaust Museum Houston all day\, administering the COVID-19 vaccine. \n\nPfizer (ages 5 & up)\, Moderna (ages 18 & up) and J&J (ages 18 & up) vaccines available\nFirst\, second and booster doses available\nNo Photo ID is required\, but those receiving 2nd and booster doses must bring their vaccination card with them.\nInsurance is not required.\nChildren between the age of 5 and 17 must have a consent form signed on the day of the vaccination.\nWalk-ins will be accepted.\n\n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/free-admission-day-in-honor-of-walter-kase/ LOCATION:Holocaust Museum Houston CATEGORIES:Free Admission Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/kase-walter-456w.jpg-800x800-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220505T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220505T203000 DTSTAMP:20260407T082605 CREATED:20230803T062509Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T134329Z UID:10000170-1651773600-1651782600@hmh.org SUMMARY:Film Screening: Adidas vs. Puma DESCRIPTION:In correlation with the International Sports Film Festival\, join us for a special screening of the film Adidas vs. Puma\, a German language film with English Subtitles. \nSynopsis: Two brothers start a sportswear company in the 1920s\, hoping to make the best shoes in the world.

Soon after\, Stefi’s two older brothers were arrested and sent to a labor camp\, and Nazi soldiers brutuall beat her fater 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. \nIn addition\, Harris County Public Health will be onsite at Holocaust Museum Houston all day\, administering the COVID-19 vaccine. \n\nPfizer (ages 5 & up)\, Moderna (ages 18 & up) and J&J (ages 18 & up) vaccines available\nFirst\, second and booster doses available\nNo Photo ID is required\, but those receiving 2nd and booster doses must bring their vaccination card with them.\nInsurance is not required.\nChildren between the age of 5 and 17 must have a consent form signed on the day of the vaccination. \nWalk-ins will be accepted.\n\n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/free-admission-day-in-honor-of-stefi-altman/ LOCATION:Holocaust Museum Houston CATEGORIES:Free Admission Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/altman-stefi-456w.jpg-800x800-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220518T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220518T203000 DTSTAMP:20260407T082605 CREATED:20230809T080517Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T134249Z UID:10000498-1652900400-1652905800@hmh.org SUMMARY:Notorious RBG in Song DESCRIPTION:Holocaust Museum Houston (HMH) will host Soprano/composer Patrice Michaels\, “a formidable and interpretive talent” (The New Yorker)\, along with acclaimed pianist Andrew Harley in a performance of Notorious RBG in Song\, Wednesday\, May 18\, 7 p.m. at the Museum’s Lester and Sue Smith Campus\, located at 5401 Caroline Street. \nMichaels is the daughter-in-law of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
