SUMMARY:Richard Hatch Magic Show
DESCRIPTION:In addition to his evening lecture\, Richard Hatch will perform a magic show for families during Spring Break. \nAlthough Richard Hatch holds two graduate degrees in Physics from Yale University\, he finds it easier to break the laws of nature than to discover them. A childhood interest in magic became a lifelong obsession\, and he has been a full-time professional “deceptionist” since 1983. Richard honed his craft entertaining guests as one of the house magicians at Houston’s Magic Island Nightclub before devoting himself exclusively to private and corporate work. \nThis program is included in Museum general admission. \n			\n				GET TICKETS TO THE MUSEUM

SUMMARY:Guenther Dammann and the Book Almost Lost to History: The Lives of Jewish Magicians
DESCRIPTION:Tickets include parking fees and entrance to a reception with light bites and strolling magicians. \nReception 5:30 p.m. \nProgram 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. \nJoin Holocaust Museum Houston for this special evening with magician Richard Hatch. He will share with us the story of the German Jewish amateur magician and magic historian Guenther Dammann and the 1933 book he wrote in Berlin about Jewish magicians. Hatch will intertwine magic that might have been performed by Dammann and these great Jewish magicians into his presentation on the fascinating although unfortunately tragic tale of Guenther Dammann. \nLast year\, the New York Times devoted 3 pages of their Arts & Leisure section to Hatch’s work translating this book by Guenther Dammann about the wonderful contributions of Jewish magicians to the art form. \nAlthough Richard Hatch holds two graduate degrees in Physics from Yale University\, he finds it easier to break the laws of nature than to discover them. A childhood interest in magic became a lifelong obsession\, and he has been a full-time professional “deceptionist” since 1983. Richard honed his craft entertaining guests as one of the house magicians at Houston’s Magic Island Nightclub before devoting himself exclusively to private and corporate work. \nIn 2010 he and his wife\, violinist Rosemary Kimura Hatch\, moved to his hometown of Logan\, Utah where they opened the Hatch Academy of Magic and Music. Richard Hatch is now dedicating himself to preserving the history of this German Jewish author murdered in the Holocaust. \nThere are so many Holocaust stories…but this is one you will not want to miss. \n			\n				GET TICKETS

SUMMARY:Holocaust Survivor Talk featuring Ruth Steinfeld
DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston as Holocaust Survivor Ruth Steinfeld shares her story. Ruth and her sister Lea lived in Sinsheim\, Germany when Hitler came to power. The family was deported to the Gurs interment camp in 1940\, and their mother was faced with a very difficult decision: to let a Jewish philanthropic organization called Oeuvres de Secours aux Enfants (OSE) take her daughters to safety\, or keep them with her.

SUMMARY:Holocaust Survivor Talk featuring 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 program is include in free Museum admission. \n			\n				RESERVE FREE TICKETS

SUMMARY:Mischlinge Exposé
DESCRIPTION:The Mischlinge Exposé weaves a multimedia tapestry around a little-known aspect of the Holocaust: the Mischlinge (a derogatory Nazi term for those neither fully Jewish nor fully Aryan). The program interweaves video and audio testimony from American pianist Carolyn Enger’s godmother and her father (both labeled Mischling\, Grade A by the Nazis) with the music of composers from the salon period who converted to Christianity in the decades before the war. Reacting to questions of identity after the war\, the program vividly illustrates what it was like to be between worlds in Germany in the first half of the 20th century. Through the telling of her family story\, Enger’s live documentary directly addresses universally significant issues of identity and inclusion\, encouraging empathy\, tolerance\, and engagement. \nInternationally celebrated Carolyn Enger has gained critical acclaim for her exquisite lyrical playing\, as well as her deeply felt interpretations. In addition to an active performance schedule on two continents\, including recent performances at The National Gallery Oslo\, Baruch College\, Kean University and Noontime Concerts in San Francisco; Enger has enjoyed remarkable success as a recording artist. The New York Times selected her Naxos recording of intimate Ned Rorem miniatures\, Piano Album I & Six Friends\, as one of the newspaper’s “Best In Classical Recordings”\, writing “Among the 90th–birthday tributes this year to the essential American composer Ned Rorem\, this recording especially stands out\,” while Gramophone declared\, “Enger raises the miniatures to a higher level.” Recently the recording was “Album of the Week” on Sirius XM’s Symphony Halland was featured on their program Living American. Her latest recording Resonating Earth was released in September 2024 \n			\n				RSVP
