Description:
Author Speaker Series Co-presented with Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio:
By The Grace of The Game by Dan Grunfeld
When Lily and Alex entered a packed gymnasium in Queens, New York in
1972, they barely recognized their son. The boy who escaped to America
with them, who was bullied as he struggled to learn English and cope
with family tragedy, was now a young man who had discovered and secretly
honed his basketball talent on the outdoor courts of New York City.
That young man was Ernie Grunfeld, who would go on to win an Olympic
gold medal and reach previously unimaginable heights as an NBA player
and executive. In By the Grace of the Game,
Dan 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, so lovingly
described. 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. If the magnitude of an American
dream is measured by the intensity of the nightmare that came before
and the heights of the triumph achieved after, then By the Grace of the Game recounts an American dream story of unprecedented scale. 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 complex tale traverses the spectrum of the human
experience to detail how perseverance, love, and legacy can survive
through generations, carried on the shoulders of a simple and beautiful
game.

Description:
Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio annually hosts its PATCHES – Others Deemed Dangerous or Inferior program, which highlights other groups outside of the Jewish community victimized by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
This year's program will feature The White Rose Society . This group of German university students, led by Hans and Sophie Scholl, distributed leaflets and painted anti-regime slogans on walls around Munich, that urged fellow Germans to rise up against Hitler and the Nazis. In the end, they were able to distribute thousands of pamphlets, reaching homes across Germany.
"Our current 'state' is the dictatorship of evil. We know that already, I hear you object, and we don't need you to reproach us for it yet again. But, I ask you, if you know that, then why don't you act? Why do you tolerate these rulers gradually robbing you, in public and in private, of one right after another, until one day nothing, absolutely nothing, remains but the machinery of the state, under the command of criminals and drunkards?" - Third Pamphlet from the White Rose Society
Featuring Keynote Presentation by Dr. Jason Dawsey
Panel Discussion with Dr. Jason Dawsey, Dr. Roger Barnes, and Dr. Alberto Giordano

The Inextinguishable Symphony A True Story of Music and Love in Nazi Germany as told by author Martin Goldsmith in conversation with Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff.
National Public Radio commentator Martin Goldsmith, takes you from the cafés of Frankfurt, where Rosemarie and Günther, musicians and parents of author Martin Goldsmith fell in love, to the concert halls that offered solace and hope for the beleaguered Jews, to the United States, where the two made a new life for themselves as musicians in famous concert halls that would nevertheless remain shadowed by the fate of their families.
Register here. After registering, you will receive an immediate confirmation email with your ZOOM link. A reminder will be sent as well.
Martin Goldsmith is the author of The Inextinguishable Symphony: A True Story of Music and Love in Nazi Germany, which tells the riveting story of the Kulturbund, an all-Jewish performing arts ensemble maintained by the Nazis between 1933 and 1941, an ensemble that included Mr. Goldsmith’s parents. The Inextinguishable Symphony is the basis of the acclaimed 2019 film Winter Journey, co-written by Mr. Goldsmith, directed by Anders Ostergaard, and starring Bruno Ganz in his very last film. Mr. Goldsmith is also the author of Alex’s Wake: A Voyage of Betrayal and a Journey of Remembrance, the story of his grandfather and uncle, who were two of the more than 900 passengers on the ill-fated Jewish refugee ship St. Louis in 1939, and his own six-week journey in their footsteps in 2011. Mr. Goldsmith also wrote and performed six Composer Portraits (in-depth stories of the lives and music of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, and Copland) on stage at the John F. Kennedy Center with conductor Leonard Slatkin and the National Symphony Orchestra. Martin Goldsmith has been a classical music radio programmer and presenter for more than fifty years. He semi-retired three years ago from Sirius XM Satellite Radio in Washington, DC, where he now hosts music programs on weekend afternoons. He was the company’s initial Director of classical music programming, beginning in 2000. For ten years, from 1989 to 1999, he served as the host of “Performance Today,” National Public Radio’s daily classical music program. During Mr. Goldsmith’s tenure as host, PT won the coveted Peabody Award for broadcasting.

Description:
Speaker: Dr. Jonathan Gribetz, Associate Professor, Department of Near Eastern Studies, Princeton University.
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), founded in 1964, became famous, or infamous, over the decades primarily for its militants and its politicians. There was another group in the organization, however, that was less well known but no less important: PLO researchers. In 1965, the PLO established a Research Center in Beirut dedicated to carefully analyzing what it referred to as "the Palestine Problem," a crucial element of which was "knowing the enemy." This meant researching the Jews, Judaism, Zionism, and Israel. In this lecture, Professor Jonathan Gribetz will introduce you to the PLO Research Center, upon which he is currently completing a new book, and discuss the importance of this group of activist researchers and intellectuals on the history of the PLO.
Jonathan Gribetz's first book, Defining Neighbors: Religion, Race, and the Early Zionist-Arab Encounter (Princeton University Press, 2014), investigated the mutual perceptions of Zionists and Arabs in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Defining Neighbors was named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title in 2015. His newest book is tentatively titled Reading Herzl in Beirut: The PLO’s Research on Judaism and Israel (under contract with Princeton University Press). Gribetz has been awarded a Fulbright Scholarship and a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities which allowed him to spend the past year in Jerusalem.
Register here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
This event is co-sponsored by the Wagner College Holocaust Center and the Dr. Esther Grushkin Center for Arts and Culture at the Joan and Alan Bernikow JCC of SI.

2022 Monna and Otto Weinmann Annual Lecture
6:00PM CT
After World War II, the Allies prosecuted prominent Nazi leaders for
war crimes at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg. But
there were other local trials related to Nazi crimes. Across Europe,
Jewish communities formed tribunals to pass judgment on other Jews who
were accused of some form of collaboration under extreme duress during
the Holocaust. This communal process helped survivors reclaim a sense of
control over their own lives and reassert their dignity. Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for a
discussion about who was tried and how some Jews cleared their names.
Opening RemarksDr. Janice Weinman Shorenstein, CEO, Education through MusicDr. Laura Jockusch, Albert Abramson Associate Professor of Holocaust Studies, Brandeis University
ModeratorDr. Lisa Leff, Director, Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies
This program is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. Register here to receive a link to view the program.
