Description:
Inspired by a visit to his birth country in the 1990s,
American artist Philip Orenstein (b. 1938) created seven murals about
the French complicity in the persecution of Jews in France during World
War II. At that time, the French government had not admitted it had
taken part in the persecution. The murals have been shown in various
galleries and museums in the United States. In 1999, William Zimmer
wrote in the New York Times, “Mr. Orenstein’s method involves combining
poignancy with the determination that the viewers not miss the story. To
this end, Mr. Orenstein skillfully, and wittily, employs the look of
today’s splashy graffiti.” The works have not yet been shown in France.
Born in Paris, France, in 1938, Philip Orenstein had
survived Nazi persecution as a young boy hidden with his brother by a
gentile family. After World War II, in 1949, his family emigrated to the
United States. He became a visual artist and professor of art at
Rutgers University in New Brunswick (NJ), where he had majored in
physics.
This event features Philip Orenstein presenting his artwork, followed by a conversation with Dr. Nadine Orenstein.
Register here.
Philip Orenstein is a visual artist and
professor emeritus of art at Rutgers University. He was born in Paris,
France, in December 1938. After World War II, in 1949, his family
emigrated to the United States. He majored in physics at Rutgers
University. Orenstein also painted, studied art history, and took a
course in modern art history with Alan Kaprow, who encouraged him to
quit physics and become an artist. After graduating from Rutgers,
Orenstein moved to New York in the early 1960’s, where he painted,
sculpted and designed for adecade. In 1971 he began teaching studio art
at Rutgers University, eventually becoming a tenured professor and
teaching art at Rutgers for thirty years. Orenstein has an extensive
exhibition record dating from 1964 to the present.
Dr. Nadine M. Orenstein is the Drue Heinz Curator in
Charge of the Department of Drawings and Prints in The Metropolitan
Museum of Art where she has been active as a curator since 1992. She has
written and lectured extensively on sixteenth and seventeenth-century
prints and drawings. Her exhibitions include Pieter Bruegel the Elder:
Drawings and Prints (2001), Hendrick Goltzius (1558 – 1617). Prints,
Drawings and Paintings (2003), Infinite Jest: Caricature and Satire from
Leonardo to Levine (2011), and The Mysterious Landscapes of Hercules

Description:
Extremist beliefs and violence are on the rise.
White supremacist and other hate groups exploit antisemitic myths,
racism, and conspiracy theories often directly inspired by Nazi
ideology. When hatred and deception go viral, they can appeal to more
mainstream audiences. Holocaust history warns us of the violence that
can follow when such threats go unchecked.
Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to discuss the dangers posed when extremist ideas are normalized and what is being done to challenge them.
SpeakersDr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Dr. Arie Kruglanski, Holocaust survivor and distinguished university professor in Psychology at the University of Maryland
Vidhya Ramalingam, Founder and CEO, Moonshot

Description:
Nazism and its racist antisemitism pervaded every aspect of life in Germany, and later occupied Europe. In the end, the Holocaust was a complete collapse of civil society. But who were the perpetrators? And what can we learn from a society that was composed of perpetrators at every level? Led by Echoes & Reflections Program Manager, Jesse Tannetta, this webinar seeks to expand our understanding of perpetrators, with a special focus on the women that contributed, directly and indirectly, to the “Final Solution.”
This webinar connects to Lesson Plan Units 5 and 9 on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Description:
November 9, 1938, marked the start of the November Pogroms, when violent antisemitic demonstrations broke out across Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. This exhibition will shed light on the events as exemplified within several Jewish families in Ladenburg, Germany. It gives a picture of the city’s residents and their relations to one another.
This exhibition was conceived by teachers and students at the Hochschule für Jüdische Studien (Center for Jewish Studies, Heidelberg) and the University of Heidelberg in cooperation with the Lobdengau Museum. The project was based on the information compiled by the working group “Jüdische Geschichte” (‘Jewish History’) established in 1983 in Ladenburg. This exhibit discusses the fate of several Ladenburg families within the broader historical context. Neighbors 1938 “We were all Ladenburgers” is a special exhibit for Holocaust Museum Houston because Ladenburg was the childhood home of survivors Lea Krell Weems and Ruth Steinfeld. Lea and Ruth survived by being smuggled out of Gurs by the French resistance group Œuvre de Secours aux Enfants (Children’s Aid Society) at the age of 8 and 7.
