Description:
Leben? Oder Theater? (Life? Or Theater?) asks Berlin-born artist Charlotte Salomon in about 800 sophisticated, complex and haunting artworks that she created between 1940 and 1942.
Charlotte Salomon (1917–1943), was a hugely talented Berlin-born artist who was murdered at Auschwitz, four months pregnant, at the age of twenty-six. Her main body of work, a sequence of nearly 800 gouache images entitled Leben? oder Theater? (Life? or Theatre?), and created while seeking refuge in the South of France, is an ambitious fictive autobiography which deploys both images and text, and a wide range of musical, literary and cinematic references. The narrative, informed by Salomon’s experiences as a cultured, and assimilated German Jewish woman, depicts a life lived in the shadow of Nazi persecution and a family history of suicide, but also reveals moments of intense happiness and hope. Challenging the artistic conventions of Salomon’s time, it remains almost impossible to categorize.
In her lecture, London-based art historian Monica Bohm-Duchen explores the multiple aspects of this sophisticated, complex and haunting work and reflects on its relevance for our own time.

Description:
On December 12, 1942, the Crystal City Family Internment Camp opened
in Crystal City, Texas. A direct result of Executive Order 9066, which
authorized the incarceration of anyone deemed a threat to national
security, Crystal City housed almost 5,000 “enemy aliens” of German,
Italian, and Japanese descent between 1942 and 1945. At age 6, Wes
Wesselhoeft, an American citizen born to German immigrants, was taken
with his family from their Chicago home and put on a train to Crystal
City. A year later, Wes and his family were sent to Germany, traded for
American prisoners of war.
Join the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum to hear about Wes Wesselhoeft's internment in Crystal City, his life in Germany, and his eventual return to the United States.
This program is presented in conjunction with our current special exhibition, Courage and Compassion: The Japanese American World War II Experience, on view at the museum through June 12, 2022. This exhibition will be open for viewing during the reception beginning at 6:00 p.m.
In-Person Visiting Guidelines: Face masks for
visitors, staff, and volunteers are optional. Self-parking is available
in the Museum’s garage, located directly across the street from the
